Comment on Maybe ChatGPT has some pre-frontal cortex problems

Comments

Here's the thing (which you probably knew going in).. Generative AI is quite well-known to be terrible at drawing specific times on clock faces.

This is down to the training data. It has been trained on a huge amount of images.

That includes advertising. For whatever reason, wrist watch manufacturers have a tendency to set watches to 10:10 in ads, almost without exception. Perhaps it's just a nice-looking time, or it's good for comparison purposes.

Simply Google "wrist watch" and you'll see.

So, these generative models have a huge bias towards 10:10 on clock faces, because that's what all the clocks they've been trained on look like.
