Can you do better than top-level AI models on these basic vision tests?

Abstract analysis that is trivial for humans often stymies GPT-4o, Gemini, and Sonnet.

@arstechnica I had to check the date on this post.

Twice.

Are you sure you don't mean blurays or something at least? People seem to be so silly about resolution even in things that don't need it (I, for one, care more about the quality of the story than about whether I can see how open the actor's pores are that day) that it's hard to imagine most of them watching 480i all that much these days. In fact, interlacing was meant for analog CRTs and looks horrible on digital displays.

@arstechnica Physical media might be appealing again, but DVDs are absolutely NOT appealing. Stupid, brittle, delicate recording format that gets damaged way too easily.

@georgetakei I need this on the front of my car. Not sure why, but around here people think the acceleration lane is for not accelerating. They insist on getting on going 40 in a 70 where other traffic goes 80+. And of course if you're the one behind them that means the trailer truck that can't change lanes is now on your bumper downshifting like mad, engine screaming, just a grill in your rear view mirror.

@georgetakei I love how we only have to do one simple thing to at least keep the pandemic from wrecking all our lives and it's the one thing you have to fight tooth and nail for against ever more resistance by the day.

Whole generations are going to be disabled by long covid and not even know what's going on as the brain fog hits while their disrupted immune systems fall victim to simple diseases over and over.
