I mean I’m sure it’s the reverse for an artist. They would be less impressed with the image and more impressed with the code quality

The point I think is interesting is that this is just 7B. The current SOTA 7B LLMs are barely usable for quite simple coding.

		Text is in a sense way harder to do than images because of radical nonlocality. A word at the start of one paragraph can directly influence the meaning of a word five paragraphs away. Whereas images typically represent the real world, or at least a spatial domain, which gives you a lot of structure 'for free'. If you are drawing a human, you can make a reasonable guess where their hands go in relation to their face. If someone hands you the first half of an essay, finishing it is not trivial.

To generalize, LLMs are great at what you are not skilled at.

That's how they're sold, isn't it?

		Well, not exactly. Many, many companies and managers think that they can replace skilled people or have unskilled monitoring them.

That's a fair statement, I agree. I'm quite an abysmal artist so I could be a victim of my own bias here
