Likely referring to how AI image generators can't generate an image of a full glass of wine
Are you guys crazy? A (red) wine glass that's been filled to half of its height is overfilled.
I guess this is the same reason Ai clocks are stuck on ten to two. In case of the clocks it is because ten to twolooks nice on a clock so most images will have it. Ai doesn't understand how time corresponds to how a clock looks, just that something that looks like a clock has two lines there.
So since most depictions of wine glasses are half full, when you ask for a wine glass it will give you one that is half full. Fill level being somewhat irrelevant as it wasn't part of the training data
10:08 is the other time that is often used for analog clocks in store displays, because like 1:50 it makes the hands into the shape of a check mark. My favorite though is when digital clocks are ALSO set to 10:08 as a reference to that even though there are no hands!
This clock isn't, for example. Ackchually, I never noticed the artifact you're describing. Might depend on the model you're using, though. Generally speaking, I'd argue that AI depictions of clocks, as well as of hands, have improved as of recently.
What is that and why is it so menancing
It's whimsical, not menacing. Lol
Ah yes, a glass... of wine.
*a bowl of wine
Lol...
*a bowel full of wine glass
AI trying to make ascii art is always hilarious.

Huh, well that's a weird one. Also, wow I forgot how garish these AI images are with colours by default.
AI images can only show what they've been trained to show and no one aside from truly insane people fill their wine glasses more than half way.
In other words, that is a "full glass of wine".
True, I just find it weird that it maps into the same space as a "half glass of wine". The "glass of wine" part is getting a disproportionate amount of attention that its adjectives, and perhaps rightly so, I guess I'm just surprised a little at the lack of imagination
That's because you've made the classic mistake concerning "AI" as we know it right now. It is not artificial intelligence in the classical sci-fi sense. These are basically algorithms that do a set job. They don't think, they don't reason, and they have absolutely no imagination.
Yeah but they interpolate on the data they're trained on extremely well, to the point that they produce quite convincing chimeric hallucinations of the concepts they're queried on. My last comment expressed surprise that the mapped space between tokens such as "half" and "full" wasn't preserved in the context of "glass of wine"
That is because half a glass of wine volumetrically is functionally a full glass of wine.
okay, now I think we've switched roles and think that you're the one giving the AI too much imaginative credit here hahaha
The AI is technically correct: the container object is fully made of glass. It is then filled with a default amount of alcoholic beverage. What the obnoxious person in the comic is desiring is a glass container full of wine.
Thank you for coming to my shitpost. Click like and subscribe, follow me on digggg.
a glass container full of wine. Ah yes, much better...
Looks like an extra vinegary wine.
My first guess would be lemonade, to be honest.
Mead, or piss.
If your piss has that colour I'd go and see a doctor 😅
Enough mead will do it.
