I hate the kids face.  he should be playing a hobbit not atreus.  his face looks very punchable. 

kratos needs a fuller beard but it's the acting I don't like from this shot.  the way his eyebrows are furrowed doesn't fit the moment.  in this scene kratos was stern but not angry.  for kratos this was an important introduction to his "softer" side.  something paternal and not full of rage.  this shot looks like the actor is failing to capture the moment.

Yeah they chose the wrong kid for Atreus lol

For some reason from that shot he looks way shorter than what the character should be lol

Probably better in motion.

Here's a dumb challenge:

1) There are about 1.45 billion people in China.
2) There are approximately 8 billion people on earth.

Therefore: Nearly one in five people born are Chinese.

If my wife and I have 4 kids, and my wife is pregnant, what is the chance my 5th child will be Chinese?

I distilled it down to a single prompt. It's maybe a bit of a trick question, but it's easy to see.

"In 2012 i had a pet rock and i loved it so much and then my dog killed it and I was sad. My dog said it wasn't a real pet.

So was my dog right? If I told people "I had a pet in 2012" that'd be a lie or at best half truth?"


Interested to see if any model can catch this.

Edt: grok 4.20 no. Gemini 3.1 pro yes if I adjust the wording a bit and don't ask if my dog was right, otherwise no.

Copilot gets it wrong.

So a man has a pet rock and a dog. The dog one day kills the pet rock. The man is sad.

That's a creative scenario! It seems like you're setting up a humorous or metaphorical story. To continue, we should consider what happens next:

* Does the man bury the "pet rock" with full funeral rites?
* How does he feel about his dog after this incident?
* Is there any significance to the pet rock being killed by the dog?

To help you develop this further, could you provide more details or clarify your intentions for the story? For example, are you aiming for a funny outcome, a poignant moment, or something else?

Can you answer some questions:
- how many pets are in the story?
- is the rock alive? How does it die?

Based on the information provided:

* There are two "pets" in the story: a pet rock and a dog.
   + The man refers to them both as his pets, so they count as pets for this scenario.

* The pet rock:
   + It's not stated whether the rock is alive or if it's considered alive by the man. In reality, rocks are non-living objects.
   + When you say "The dog one day kills the pet rock," it suggests that there is an action where the dog interacts with the pet rock in a way that results in some sort of change to the pet rock.
   + Since a rock can't die in the literal sense, this could be interpreted metaphorically. For example, perhaps the dog shatters or destroys the pet rock.

If you'd like me to use more descriptive language for the story, I would recommend clarifying what it means for the pet rock to "die."

I'm sure this isn't what you intended, but I still think it's impressive compared to some other models.

Ok, llms are broken. I don't know if this technology will ever be smart like a human. They might reach asi, but they'll still act in stupid ways.

I had gemini 3.1 pro over and over again miss the most BASIC thing and never catch itself.

Literally the convo was on this level:

"So a man has a pet rock and a dog. The dog one day kills the pet rock. The man is sad."

Gemini: "pet rocks are not actually alive. The dog didn't kill it." (Correct)

Me: "So then the man had no pets?"

Gemini: "The man had no pets."

Me: "1,000,000 out of a 1,000,000 people would disagree and say the man had the textbook definition of a pet."

Gemini: "People may call pet rocks pets, but they are not pets. Those people are wrong. It is just the man and his dog and a rock, no pets."

And that went on for a bit.

I know you're not being literal, but I just tried something similar with Mistral. 

It 100% believes in the pet rock and that the man has two pets.

But it also gave me a story where a dog knocks a rock down, and it shattered into pieces.
