  • And you showed that you don’t understand complementary colors, just like AI. Because the above color circle is wrong. Why? Because of tests like the afterimage test (Example: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/da/7c/fb/da7cfba87ffdc8f426953397162329b4.gif), proving that purple (like pictured above) can never be the complementary color to yellow, it always has to be a deep blue. It doesn’t matter if it’s additive colors or subtractive colors you’re using (Afterimage tests work both passive and active) because in the end, it’s all only about light hitting our L/M/S-cones and how our brains work when it comes to interpreting the signals from those cones (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamerism_(color). Metamerism explains why engineers chose perceptually equidistant cyan/magenta/yellow for (simple) printing (“Subtractive colors”) and perceptually equidistant red/green/blue for active emitting devices like cameras and displays (“Active colors”). And if you now say “But bro, I see a green shifting towards blue in the afterimage test” - didn’t you wonderful AI tell you about the Abney effect? Weird. It’s all well known and documented on the web which has been used to train your wonderful AI. But yeah - without being able to understand all of that, there is no way your wonderful AI can tell you which one of all those color circles is the correct one (And there is only one because it does not violate the CIE 1931 color space). It’s up to you to either learn and understand - or to blindly follow a LLM which sticks to green being the complementary color to red. Because all the LLM can do is repeating the garbage it has been trained with. Because it’s nothing more than a stochastic parrot. Your choice.


  • And why didn’t you include the name of the model in your test? Looks like you don’t want me to try it myself. It would be interesting to do so. Of course with values which don’t fit perfectly into 8 bit. What if I define the range from 0 to 47204 for each color channel instead? What if I would use CMY(K) instead of RGB? A good “great” AI must be able to handle all of that. And of course correctly explain what complementary colors are (which you didn’t include either). So yeah - what you provided does not go beyond the output from htmlcolorcodes.com - a very simple website with very simple code. I doubt it requires much power either.





  • What makes you think that using single letters as tokens instead could teach a stochastic parrot to count or calculate? Both are abilities. You can’t create an ability only from a set of data no matter how much data you have. You can only make a model seem to have that ability. Again: All you can ever get out of it is something that resembles human language. There is nothing beyond/behind that, by design. Not even hallucinations. Whenever a LLM gives you the advice to eat a rock per day it still works. Because it outputs a correct sounding sentence purely and entirely based on probability. But counting and calculating are not based on probability which is something everyone who ever had a math class knows very well. No math teacher will let students guess the result of an equation.
