I hope you're right. Are you aware of any image-gen models that apply chain-of-thought style reasoning (either agentic or via reinforcment learning to shape outputs?)

For example, consider this imagery from today's challenge: https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/fastab-f08e9.app...

These are some incredible monoliths: if they were real, I feel like I would have heard about them? And if they did... that's so cool. But because it's AI generated, I have a very low confidence level that this ever existed at all. Which is sad.

No, not aware of image models that do chain-of-thought reasoning. But there are vision models that do it, so you can have them review the generated images and iterate on the prompts.

[Spoiler] I guess it's this: https://madainproject.com/northern_stelae_park

Which is funny, because the monoliths in the AI video look more eroded than the real ones today.

This looked like a nice idea at first glance. At second glance, it's really bad because you have to assume that everything you see in these videos can be wrong or misleading.
