A friend had the brilliant idea of asking one of those image AIs to draw a diagram of the anatomy of a human hand, since that seems to be the thing they have the most trouble drawing. The AI managed then produced these diagrams, which are frankly impressive in some ways, while 100 % confirming that they cannot draw human hands. Never mind getting the number of fingers right, look at these skeletal structures and tell me there aren't deeper issues at work.

    This is a cool result, and I enjoyed watching it, so it's not exactly useless. They just cannot improve accuracy from most people's feedback. I don't think I'm alone in giving the top right picture with seven fingers and a creepy spider-human hybrid skeleton top marks. And the AI will just absorb positive feedback as having done the right thing. This will not make the AI better at drawing human hands, but it might make it even better at drawing abominations. I'm there for that.

      Same, actually. Its like having an AI Zdzislaw Beksinski.
