Looking through lists of old ideas, I found this one:
Whatever the “be patient, student driver” stickers say, but change to “be patient, never learned how to use turn signal”
I figured I’d try creating this with Gemini. Can’t say it was very easy. Gemini was doing whatever it wanted to. I even tried asking questions to get clarity on what it thought turning left meant and so on, and it would clarify that what the image should be and then still put the car in the wrong lane.
And then, as I was tweaking things, it would not only refuse to do what I ask (get closer to the car) and then would make needless changes (changed the license plate).
There is definitely an art to writing unambiguous prompts, but there’s also no denying that like humans, AI listens only partially and follows its own directions, not yours.
