No, CLIP is indeed that good. The robustness of its embeddings is the entire reason why VQGAN+CLIP works and can stablely generate images close to the text prompt.

I'm sure it's better than a dice role, but does it beat a modern classifier trained on the domain specific data?

EDIT: I raise this issue as over-promises are the death nell for software. Overpromising capability leads to disappointment.

See the zero-shot performance of CLIP: https://openai.com/blog/clip/

It's definitely better performance than what you'd get working in 5 minutes from more conventional approaches.

It tends to, yes. I suggest reading the paper as they discuss this very thing in detail.
