The problem so visually obvious in DALL-E 3 is of course just as prevalent, but less obvious in all the LLMs: it is not imaginative, it is recombinative, just to a surprisingly large degree. I’ve found its hack most useful when I ask it to do things where I know others have done (and written about) it. But it just combines my text input with its known text input - and since it’s never seen a watch not at 10:10, and I don’t provide one, it is dead in the water.
