sorry, i'm not trying to ascribe sentience to it, just trying to make sense of it with what words i have. it looks roughly like a faint box & whisker graph to the right of the bottom cloud and i'm wondering if there's a connection to the broken graph in the top right where the real clouds are.

i have a hypothesis about this. i think the clouds are this AI's metaphor for "chaos" and a way of calling out for more diverse training data. it doesn't understand random anomalies in its data and is so it's basically screaming out for more statistics and analytic geometry.

mostly joking is slightly serious 😉
a man with gray hair is smoking a pipe in a room and says `` he 's only mostly dead '' .
Alt: Billy Crystal as Miracle Max in Princess Bride, subtitled with the dialogue: He's only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between "mostly" dead and "all" dead.

but most human designers would consult subject matter experts before putting in all the effort to make it look fancy, would they not? you're self-aware of your own limitations but the AI is not so it makes shit up instead, and that makes it that much harder to proofread

well, if you didn't use ai you wouldn't have to fact check it so... what's frustrating is the lack of disclaimer?
if i accept the premise that it's ai content, it's a fascinating glimpse into the biases of their training data! it confuses 1 with 7, ~ with =, α with Φ, & quadratics with pythagoras

actually, this AI is at only 33%... literally worse than sex panther
