A Step by Step Guide on How to Cook an Egg
This was an AI's best guess at how to cook an egg. The sequence, despite its numbered chaos (from 3 to 3 to 2 to 7), suggests that the model isn't counting steps so much as iterating visual motifs it has seen frequently. And the textual errors are echoes of training data where OCR, differing fonts and low-resolution images left the model straying through statistical fog. The hands and eggshells and floating yolks reflect pattern-matching capability, but no grasp of gravity or actual tool use. This is not the AI failing to cook an egg, but the AI remixing thousands of egg scenes into an almost surreal guideline.
