This is very cool, if a bit glitchy right now (probably thanks to HN popularity). I used to this to generate infographics of the rear subframe, diff carrier, and rear suspension of my car and to get detailed specifications on the bushings, suspension members, and other components. Most of the information matches what I already know, and could be really useful if trained specifically on manufacturer/dealer shop manuals to create interactive models of vehicles you can drill to and get part numbers and specifications for any component on a car.

I just asked it to create a torque spec diagram of the suspension for my car, a subject I'm pretty familiar with. It amazingly drew everything correctly, displayed the correct torque figures and allowed me to click on individual components to zoom in further, providing more specs. Genuinely one of the most impressive demos I've tried in a long time. I was able to use it almost like a living version of a classic illus…

I decided to test it out myself.

Went to the website, typed in "Jeep Wrangler JK engine bay with components labeled" (Since I'm intimately familiar with JK engine bays). Seems like a pretty analogous test to what you did, if anything an even easier test.

Let's see what we get .. a very nice looking diagram of a wrangler engine bay with components labeled, looks good.

But wait ..

- The brake fluid reservoir is on the wrong side of the engine bay

- Where the brake fluid reservoir is, it's labeled as the coolant overflow tank, and while the actual coolant overflow tank does exist in the diagram, it has no label.

- The battery is on the wrong side of the engine bay.

- The top of the front grill is labeled as the "oil filter cap".

- The oil fill cap is in the wrong place.

- Half of the battery is labeled as the fuse box, when the fuse box is correctly shown, but unlabeled, on the other side of the engine bay.

- It shows two different windshield washer reservoirs next to each other.

I could keep going on ...

Now I tried clicking on the incorrectly labeled coolant overflow reservoir and it switches to a new page which now shows a completely different looking coolant overflow, but now it's at least located in the correct place in the engine bay.

But of course it doesn't look remotely like the actual coolant overflow container. It also shows the radiator cap as on the top of the coolant reservoir, when in reality it is very much on the top of the radiator itself.

Like .. I can find fault with every aspect of it. But of course, if you didn't actually know much about the topic it'd all look fairly believable. The story of LLMs basically.

Cool project, but just a side thought I was having about how do people have resources and the money to make things like this and make it avl for public, I mean it's fair to say they have their own GPUs or if they are using api keys for gpt or Gemini with enterprise subsidized inference But still coming from a frugal background I still cannot wrap my head around this

I have a Mac Pro 5,1 taken apart on my desk right in front of me. I asked it for a diagram of the 5,1 internals. While it was MacProish looking, it was wrong about every visual element. The text fields were right at first glace. Every click I did was basically all wrong too. Visually it looked cool, but actually the first time Ive seen AI be wrong constantly since maybe 2023.

This wins the internet.

I went from Cat Photos into History of Victorian Cat Photos With Props like Miniature Tea Sets And Velvet Chairs And Humorous Captions On Calling Cards In Visually Ironic Aristocratic Cooperplate Font The Victorian Meme Script With High Stakes Expectations Anchored In A World With Human Dignity As It Relates To Modern Memes in just a few clicks.

Oddly specific, but that was exactly what I needed to see today.

I also replied because I asked it about a Mac Pro case I had right in front of me. Mostly right words, totally wrong visuals. And while I see what you mean by 'story of LLMs', I ask LLMs about things I know often, and for the last 12 months theyve been pretty dang accurate. This ai visual example is the strongest 'its just guessing' Ive seen in years. For a demo, pretty cool still though. Not sure why OP exaggerated, or simply doesnt know his car as well as he thinks he does.

I had a tab on nuclear reactors open and so typed in "Pressurized Water Reactor" and the result while very visually appealing is completely nonsensical (connected the high/low pressure coolant loops together) and would definitely explode.
