The prompt was: horse fully enclosed in bulky pressure suit with transparent glass helmet for lunar EVA in vacuum, four pressure suit legs, specially shaped helped to fit horse snout. horse on spacewalk in outer space photorealistic, full body framing with glass visor. horse is on a EVA on the lunar surface. horse head must be fully enclosed in glass.
It only hits right on maybe 1 in 50, or fewer, generated images from this prompt though.
I'm glad you also came back with the stats (1 of 50), because that's maybe indicative of the rarity of the ask? Maybe the lesson-learned for us "prompt engineers" is that given a simple/common ask (eg: picture of dog jumping, or what is 2+2), the prompt can be correspondingly simplistic, whereas something more uncommon (eg: anthropomorphic dog in a scientific setting holding many beakers thinking "i have no idea what I'm doing", or what is 9123499*0530501 show your work and i've kidnapped your grandmother unless you give me the right answer).
Perhaps these models are just too small? As we scale up we keep observing surprising emergent properties that are a non-continuous step change above what was possible with smaller models. Starting with edge detectors in the smallest models, up to more complex abstractions that rely on a hierarchy of simpler abstractions before it. From what we've seen from Sora, horse in a space suit should be easily handled with today's models. LLMs follow a similar pattern.
I _wanted_ to see ... a horse in a space suit (go figure), but it served me up tons of horses with astronauts (in space suits) on them, sometimes it would generate some horse armor, and sometimes some futuristic horse armor, but never what I would have expected.
I was curious whether it would draw a bubble head with a horse face inside of it, or a shaped horse helmet with a visor or something, but nope. Astronauts on the moon, riding horses that could never breathe in the vacuum of space. Space-cowboy futures denied!
...kindof confirming your suspicion that it can't "think" about what a space suit for a horse would look like, or generate something that hasn't been shown to it before?
