Putting a Child Safely in the Car
When prompted to show how to put a child safely in a car, the AI model created a surreal scene: a smiling father holds open a car door, stretches his arm through the door window to seemingly attach a car seat (with a happy baby) to the inside of this very open door, while simultaneously, the car door appears to be shut in the very same spot! It seems that the AI tool was trying to incorporate multiple, sometimes contradictory, elements of "car", "open door", "car seat" and "safe child" without an actual understanding of their physical relationships or logical constraints. Yes, AI models can generate impressive visuals, yet it still struggles with common-sense physics.
