“Draw an ASCII unicorn” (GPT4)


Ask it to do the reverse. Connecting loosely related points to see the "hidden shape" behind them is an important feature of mind. Why do we see a cow above? That's just a bunch of lines and circle. The cow is a made up "meaning" behind these lines.

Edit: it's not unreasonable to give an LLM such test. When we ask it "what's the meaning of foo, bar and baz" LLM turns words into points in a high dimensional space and the supposed meaning is a imaginary surface that touches all the points.
