I went down a Kaiju rabbithole. Here are the monsters I created - Dragon + Lazer = Dragonzord - Dragonzord + Sandpunk = Sandzord - Dragon-Rex + Hippopotamus = Hippodragon - Mega Dragonzord (didn't see recipe) - Hippodragon + Mega Dragonzord = Mega Hippodragonzord - Mega Hippodragonzord + Flying Circus = Mega Flying Circus Hippodragonzord - Zombie + Mega Dragonzord = Zombie Dragonzord - Swan + Megazord = Swan Megazord…

Perhaps you'd be interested in my research: Ultrazord + lord of the salad = saladzord Dragonzord + Godzilla = godzord Godzord + lord of the salad = Godzord of the salad Lord of the rings + godzord = gozord of the rings Gozord of the rings + godzord = godzord of the rings Godzord of the salad + godzord of the rings = godzord of the salad rings Godzord of the salad rings + pirates of the Caribbean = godzord of the Cari…

Mostly playing around with stacking "powerful" words:

  King Kong + Power Ranger = King Kong Ranger (first)
  Megazord + Power Ranger = Power Megazord
  Megazord + Power Megazord or Artzord + Megazord = Ultrazord
  Dragonzord + Art = Artzord (first)
  Groot + Mega Artzord = Grootzord
  Megazord + Grootzord = Gigazord (first)
  Godzord + Giga Artzord = Giga Godzord (first)
  Giga Godzord + Giga Titanic Gigazord = Giga Titanic Godzord (first)
  Giga Titanic Godzord + Mega Power Godzillazord = Super Giga Mega Titanic Power Godzillazord (first)
I also got firsts on both Earthquake Laser and Laser Earthquake, but I'm not sure what the recipes were.

Trying to get Zebra was an interesting sequence.

  Tamer + Africa = Tamerlane (first)
  Tamerlane + Terror = Timur (first)
  Timur + Asia = Genghis Khan
  Genghis Khan + Bellerophon = Alexander the Great
  Alexander the Great + Unicorn = Bucephalus (first)
  Alexander the Great + Bucephalus = Horse
  Horse + Africa = Zebra

I wrote a program to explore. Here's a "first discovery":

    'Jupiter' + 'Muddy Date' = 'Muddy Planet'
       'Foghorn' + 'Planet' = 'Jupiter'
          'Fog' + 'Ark' = 'Foghorn'
             'Smoke' + 'Water' = 'Fog'
                'Fire' + 'Wind' = 'Smoke'
             'Noah' + 'Dirt' = 'Ark'
                'Flood' + 'Fish' = 'Noah'
                   'Tsunami' + 'Rain' = 'Flood'
                      'Wave' + 'Water' = 'Tsunami'
                         'Water' + 'Wind' = 'Wave'
                      'Water' + 'Storm' = 'Rain'
                         'Wave' + 'Wind' = 'Storm'
                   'Explosion' + 'Water' = 'Fish'
                      'Destruction' + 'Fire' = 'Explosion'
                         'Tsunami' + 'Tornado' = 'Destruction'
                            'Wind' + 'Hurricane' = 'Tornado'
                               'Wind' + 'Tsunami' = 'Hurricane'
                'Sweat' + 'Dust' = 'Dirt'
                   'Sauna' + 'Train' = 'Sweat'
                      'Palm Tree' + 'Steam' = 'Sauna'
                         'Plant' + 'Hurricane' = 'Palm Tree'
                            'Earth' + 'Water' = 'Plant'
                         'Fire' + 'Water' = 'Steam'
                      'Steam' + 'Disaster' = 'Train'
                         'Tsunami' + 'Hurricane' = 'Disaster'
                   'Earth' + 'Wind' = 'Dust'
          'Earth' + 'Dust' = 'Planet'
       'Muddy Sushi' + 'Date' = 'Muddy Date'
          'Sushi' + 'Mud' = 'Muddy Sushi'
             'Eruption' + 'Fish' = 'Sushi'
                'Volcano' + 'Tornado' = 'Eruption'
                   'Smoke' + 'Tornado' = 'Volcano'
             'Earth' + 'Steam' = 'Mud'
          'Oasis' + 'Coconut Milk' = 'Date'
             'Coconut Water' + 'Dune' = 'Oasis'
                'Flood' + 'Coconut Milk' = 'Coconut Water'
                   'Tsunami' + 'Coconut' = 'Coconut Milk'
                      'Palm Tree' + 'Earth' = 'Coconut'
                'Sand' + 'Wind' = 'Dune'
                   'Earth' + 'Dust Storm' = 'Sand'
                      'Wind' + 'Mudslide' = 'Dust Storm'
                         'Hurricane' + 'Mud' = 'Mudslide'

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.

>where the AI was constrained to only coming up with words that have an associated emoji

Sorry but clearly the game description is about joining two things together into a logical craft and AI is contrained with that – not coming up with random words that have an associated emoji. In doing so the AI is not convincing, the combinations just feel random. And yes, you need common sense to come up with logical combinations which makes a game like this interesting in the first place.

One man’s nonsense is another’s profound truth. mud + brick = Adobe, for example. Doesn’t seem to make sense, yet it does.

adobe is literally mudbrick, this is too easy – like fire and water = steam

I wouldn't say that AI has "zero" common sense. Rather it has a lot of common sense. For example, I wondered what would happen with "wind" and "paper". Perhaps paper ... storm? No, "kite". It's better than me.

paper windmill?

I know it's all LLM randomness, but some of these are pretty fun/quirky. E.g. sheep + murder gave me "silence" which puzzled me for a while until I thought of silence of the lambs.
