@davidgerard I decided to do an experiment/torture myself with the default image model you get when you open Gemini. The prompt: "create a grid showing the flags of european countries in alphabetical order. there should be labels below them stating their name. the one for Liechtenstein should have a note below it saying "doubly-landlocked"."
Result below. Spotted errors are in the alt text, but TL;DR: 92.5% of the flags had major errors.

Hey, British Museum, you’ve swiped enough over the centuries, put Bosni and Herzayina back *right now*.

Could the first one have been intended to be Andorra? 🇦🇩

@FishNamedDog @davidgerard Most if not all of these are the wrong dimensions / aspect ratio.

@FishNamedDog @davidgerard Ah, Luxumbuung is lovely this time of year.

@david @FishNamedDog @davidgerard Ireland was fortunate to be left out.

@david @FishNamedDog @davidgerard I feel like there’s some great backstory about “Luxembuung” and I want to know what it is.

@woolfhound @FishNamedDog @davidgerard I can't find the original post which was of an AI told to create an image with all of the flags of Europe, and it failed badly. “Luxumbuung” was the entry for Luxembourg, and it got most of the flags wrong.

But we're supposed to trust this bullshit with reading x-rays and such.

@FishNamedDog @[email protected] Gemini gets an F for effort, and for accuracy

@FishNamedDog @davidgerard greetings from the glorious People's Republic of Switzerland 🤣🤣

@renatoram that’s from the timeline where the founders of the Mensheviks decided to stay in exile and start the revolution in Switzerland :)

@FishNamedDog @davidgerard Some of these do look cool though. 😂 I quite like the stripes with the Union Jack that it gave to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Also the flag for Russia looks a bit like the Soviet-era RSFSR flag.

Also also, it gave Estonia the flag of Kazakhstan (🇰🇿).

P. S. I just realised, where the heck is Ireland? 😨

P. P. S. I think Latvia and Lithuania got merged into an unholy abomination.

I think I have to stop, it gets more cursed the more I look at it.

@FishNamedDog that’s quite a bit more Austrias than I‘m comfortable with 😂

Can't see any real problem. France and Italy are spot on. Just maybe the shade of blue for France is not right, as it was recently changed back to the Imperial Napoleonic Blue.

@FishNamedDog @davidgerard Switzerland Federation after the revolution led by the Che in 1958. Too bad it didn’t last.

@FishNamedDog @davidgerard To be fair, those country names are what Trump calls them, so it had a high level source.

@FishNamedDog @davidgerard that would be ok for a fun/silly student project. But I can't wrap my head around the fact that it's the result of hundreds if billions of dollar invested over many years. There is an actual industry dedicated to building humongous datacenters to produce that. It so stupid. I can't totally accept it.

@FishNamedDog @davidgerard I'm laughing more than I should.
Two and a half (counting the bottom left one) German flags, but Germany gets Rastafari.
Kosand.
Meraco.
Estorin.
Liechterrein is double landlocked, but Liechtestein is not.
Swizerland goes (south/east) Asian Communism.
Ukraine is correct, So is France/Italy.
But hte rest? lol.

@FishNamedDog
“Poland is Russia with an asterisk in the corner” feels like great politcal comentary...
It just assumed it was asked for, like, 1965, or something.
