"That's a higher level of abstraction"

No, it's not because it's seen 'anatomy' for Pelicans, Animals - even how it's represented in Animals.

If you try to get the AI to actually decompose it and start to 'draw pelicans' in very obscure ways, it will immediately fail.

Try to get the AI to draw the pelican form a very odd angle - like underneath, to the right, one wing extended, one wing not ... 0% chance.

Precisely because it does not understand those things.

FYI it's a slightly unfair case because it does not have 'world model' yet, which will actually solve that problem, but even then not through very much abstracting.

We're a long way away - but in the meantime, there's lots to unpack.

Looks pretty good to me. ChatGPT in "Thinking" model.

Edit: I've added the Opus version on the same link.

Are we a long way away?
