The LLM isn't the issue here. It's generating coherent speech well enough.

The problem is that there is no mechanism for identifying odd or out of place items in the stimuli fed to the model. This mechanism (separate from the LLM) would be placed between the CNN (image recognizer) and the LLM (text generator). What typically happens is the CNN recognizes subjects and items in an image and passes the list along to the LLM which generates a description. Since the LLM doesn't actually have access to the original image, you can't ask it to look for unusual things the CNN did not provide it.

The result is not surprising. People just don't know how these models work and so assume they can do anything.

In this case however, Janelle Shane is actually quite well aware of how different types of AI works. She writes about them, how they work and their various limitations.

Her blog is just focused on cases of them acting oddly, or not how you would expect , or just "funny".
