It can’t do hands because they appear in so many different shapes in so many different contexts that it can’t identify a consistent enough pattern to reproduce the hand.
There are a lot of simple end runs around this glitch, even before the upgrades and refinements. Just requesting hands appear under an apron or behind the back, for instance.
Professional artists do shit like this all the time. There's a whole rant online about how Rob Liefeld can't draw feet. He's been churning out comics the old fashioned way (by stenciling over images he's not great at drawing) for decades.
All that is to say, we're not asking AI to work miracles here. Just to improve over what is rudimentary and generic digital conversations in a way programs like Replika have already proven successful at.
Yes, if you start too hard at the edges, you'll lose the illusion. But we're not trying to outwit Harrison Ford in Blade Runner, here. Humans are very easy to fool when they want to be fooled.
The latest version of Midjourney is now able to draw hands with a fat higher consistency and quality. It only took them a year to polish that bit.
