In what sounds like a plot point that you might find in a Philip K. Dick book, apparently many of the most popular generative AI models are struggling to perform this very simple task. According to data scientist Cody Nash in a thorough Github post that explores this phenomenon, it might be more than just an odd oversight from these generative AI models.So what’s going on here? And, for those already exploring AI for video and other types of creative projects, how might this affect these models’ ability to perform some basic requests that are actually quite integral to so many forms of content creation?Let’s explore more below…Nash begins his paper by talking about how not only easy it is—in theory—to create a colorless, white “painting” or piece of content, but it’s also a very important and powerful part of the history of art itself. “A perfectly smooth, featureless expanse of light. Colorless and all colors at the same time. A white canvas in a white frame in a white room lit by white light. Nothing, not darkness, not even absence. Perhaps, by necessity, your awareness focused on this idea, but only as a gateway into the space where the most subtle, ancient, and remote details would loom large if they were there at all.” And, poetically perhaps, a white canvas is very much thought of as the starting point for all human art and expression. So it should be something that AI could handle, and use in the same...
