Prompts like "a movie still of ancient philosopher Heraclitus", "ancient philosopher Aristotle", and "famous physicists of the 17th century" render largely plausible portraits – except with an added sprinkling of ahistorical, 21st Century "AI safety" race/gender variety.
This is less a common-sense failure of the AI than an artifact of its creators' imposed harnesses.
And thus I'd suggest that more generally, unless a model's full design/training-data/constraints are fully described, it remains possible that other "failures" could sometimes be side-effects of undisclosed designer choices.
