“If someone hasn’t seen a banana they wouldn’t be able to draw it either.”

Hard disagree. If you gave said person a prompt about what a banana looks like they could draw one.

No matter how much prompting you do, an ai that hasn’t seen a banana cannot make one.

Hard disagree. You just have to describe the shape and colors of the banana and maybe give it some dimensions. Here's an example:

A hyper-realistic studio photograph of a single, elongated organic object resting on a wooden surface. The object is curved into a gentle crescent arc and features a smooth, waxy, vibrant yellow skin. It has distinct longitudinal ridges running its length, giving it a soft-edged pentagonal cross-section. The bottom end tapers to a small, dark, organic nub, while the top end extends into a thick, fibrous, greenish-brown stalk that appears to have been cut from a larger cluster. The yellow surface has minute brown speckles indicating ripeness.

It's a lot of description but you've got 4096 tokens to play with so why not?

Remember: AI is just a method for giving instructions to a computer. If you give it enough details, it can do the thing at least some of the time (also remember that at the heart of every gen AI model is a RNG).

A terrible image of a banana generated by AI using a prompt that did not use the word banana

Note: That was the first try and I didn't even use the word "banana".

That’s also not a banana. It’s some type of gourde.

It's close enough. The key is that it's not something that was just regurgitated based on a single keyword. It's unique.

I could've generated hundreds and I bet a few would look a lot more like a banana.

But also how many bananas has that llm you’re using seen? You’re sure it’s zero?
