Tree + Water = river was also pretty baffling. Unfortunate. I can see the appeal of using an LLM for this but the results are pretty mediocre.

Meh, what would be your great response to Tree + Water? A human can only generate a small fraction of the combinations and would have a hard time coming up with most combinations which are already nonsensical. What is your non-disappointing idea for, idk, Tears + Pottery (AI: Bowl) or Money + Salt Lick (AI: Cow) or Skull + Lake (AI: Loch Ness) or Dracula + Pirate (AI: Vampirate) or Curse + Money (AI: Debt)? Now do th…

Loch Ness? I skipped to the Loch Ness Monster. Got the Lake only later on. And then I got Nessie.

This is a Quagmire

This shows quite well that AI has zero common sense whatsoever, the results of most combinations I made are just nonsense. The associations are really vague and to me it is not interesting at all to look at random pictures and words appearing out of totally unrelated stuff. I really like man-made alchemy games though where all combinations are pre-defined and actually feel right.

One person's specific usage of AI, in a specific game, where the AI was constrained to only coming up with words that have an associated emoji, is not a referendum on whether or not AI itself has common sense. That's like saying paint is boring because someone made a crappy painting, or code is limited because someone made an app you don't like.

Sure, its not a referendum, but its a prominent sign that even with this task AI can fail spectacularly.

P.S. Today I learned from AI that Sphinx + Drunk = Sphinxter.

Forest + fire = smoke Mud + water = swamp Swamp + plant = Venus Flytrap Okay, okay. Venus Flytrap + Smoke = smoke detector

Weed + tree = bong!

Very cool. I combined 'double rainbow' and 'ocean'; thought I broke it as it loaded for like 20 seconds; then got Atlantis. Eventually I got to 'mermaid', combined it with 'fire', and got 'siren'. But the emoji was a police siren, not the mythical creature. I can see how the LLM would be confused, though.

The LLM was not confused. It just fed "siren" into the image generator and that's an ambiguous term.

Yes, that's the confusion I was talking about. Sorry, I meant to say the image generator was confused. The confusion how I came to the assumption that it was an LLM hooked to an image generator.

Interestingly, I did break it on flower + eclipse.

I noticed that mixing a 2 word item with something else will often combine the words instead of looking at the meaning: super volcano + man = super human but then it breaks if you mix further: super human + giraffe = super giraffe ?

Well, that may explain dragonpope.
