5.4 thinking says "Just right of center, immediately to the right of the HAM RADIO shack. Look on the dirt path there: the raccoon is the small gray figure partly hidden behind the woman in the red-and-yellow shirt, a little above the man in the green hat. Roughly 57% from the left, 48% from the top."
(I don't think it's right).
- ritzaco 7mo agoI tried > please add a giant red arrow to a red circle around the raccoon holding a ham radio or add a cross through the entire image if one does not exist and got this. I'm not sure I know what a ham radio looks like though. https://i.ritzastatic.com/static/ffef1a8e639bc85b71b692c3ba17ec0e/ham-radio.png https://i.ritzastatic.com/static/ffef1a8e639bc85b71b692c3ba1...
- jackpirate 7mo agoAlso, the racoon it circled isn't in the original.
- angiolillo 7mo agoIndeed. I suppose one way to ensure you can find Waldo in any image is to add it yourself.
- Aurornis 7mo agoI love how perfectly this captures the difficulties of using generative AI for detection tasks.
- jetbalsa 7mo agoOh god yes, I've been trying to make a LLM Assisted Magic the Gathering card scanner... its been a hell of a time trying to get it to just OCR card names well....
- what 7mo agoWhy would you use an LLM for OCR?
- jubilanti 7mo agoBecause apparently that's what programming is and can only be these days...
- Abby_101 7mo ago[dead]
- fennecfoxy 7mo agoBecause if it's multimodal, oops all transformers and they're pretty much best in class for ocr now, afaik?
- jetbalsa 7mo agoYep, Its pretty damn good compared to classic OCR and even more lightweight ones as well that I can run locally. the cards just vary too much over time.
- simonw 7mo agoThat's excellent. I added it to my post: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/21/gpt-image-2/#update-asking-models-to-solve-this-is-risky https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/21/gpt-image-2/#update-as...
- davecahill 7mo agohilarious - i tried and got the same thing. there was a very large bear in the first image; when asked to circle the raccoon it just turned the bear into a giant raccoon and circled it.
