Likely referring to how AI image generators can't generate an image of a full glass of wine

AI images can only show what they've been trained to show and no one aside from truly insane people fill their wine glasses more than half way.

In other words, that is a "full glass of wine".

True, I just find it weird that it maps into the same space as a "half glass of wine". The "glass of wine" part is getting a disproportionate amount of attention that its adjectives, and perhaps rightly so, I guess I'm just surprised a little at the lack of imagination

That's because you've made the classic mistake concerning "AI" as we know it right now. It is not artificial intelligence in the classical sci-fi sense. These are basically algorithms that do a set job. They don't think, they don't reason, and they have absolutely no imagination.

Yeah but they interpolate on the data they're trained on extremely well, to the point that they produce quite convincing chimeric hallucinations of the concepts they're queried on. My last comment expressed surprise that the mapped space between tokens such as "half" and "full" wasn't preserved in the context of "glass of wine"

That is because half a glass of wine volumetrically is functionally a full glass of wine.

okay, now I think we've switched roles and think that you're the one giving the AI too much imaginative credit here hahaha
