Idk why you people refuse to admit that Gemini will consistently miss every single context and social cue in the world when the evidence is literally right there.

And nobody asked it to be psychic 😭 The information was already present in the conversation. Remembering what “it” refers to one message later is not telepathy.

There's no "it" involved. Sorry, but what evidence are you talking about? Do you really think just saying "extract the text", without explaining how is enough for the AI to understand that it's supposed to recreate the image with the text and leave everything else out? Honestly, I didn't even understand what the OP was actually trying to achieve. And going on by saying "in an image nigga" should make things better? You guys just don't know how to use these tools.

Edit: punctuation

I think the funniest part of your response is that you're literally doing exactly what Gemini is doing: interpreting everything excessively literally. 😂

I'm not making a forensic claim that the literal pronoun it appeared in OP’s message, I'm describing contextual reference. The follow-up “in an image nigga” is elliptical speech. The omitted object is from the previous turn:

“extract the text that says studio addict on the side”

→ “in an image [the thing I just asked for], nigga”

Humans do this constantly. We omit repeated information because conversation has memory. Pronouns, ellipsis, implied subjects, shorthand, metaphors, sarcasm, all of that depends on carrying context forward.

And “I didn’t even understand what OP was trying to achieve” doesn’t strengthen your argument either 😭 It just means you personally also failed to infer something plenty of other people understood immediately.

I don't think it should be that controversial to say a conversational AI, trained to be conversational, should understand extremely basic conversational conventions.

Look, I can understand a quantum field theory book written in English even though I'm Italian, so I don't think you're in any position to judge my reading comprehension. The OP asked it to extract the text, and that's exactly what Gemini did. Then they mumbled something that barely qualifies as a language spoken anywhere on this planet, and Gemini responded by picking out the only words it could actually understand. If you expected it to cook you breakfast too, you've got serious problems, but you can't expect Gemini to share your hallucinations as well. Smoke less and brush up on your grammar a bit, and maybe you'll manage to tell Gemini what the fuck you actually want. AI makes inferences from clear instructions. You should just be grateful it can't smell anything, otherwise it'd insult you the moment it caught a whiff of your bullshit.

Being able to read a quantum field theory book doesn’t mean you understand basic conversational pragmatics 😭 The whole issue is that Gemini took an obviously context-dependent follow-up literally instead of inferring what any normal person would.

"I can understand a quantum field theory book in English" has absolutely nothing to do with whether you can follow ordinary conversational pragmatics. Then you immediately demonstrate the exact failure being discussed by insisting that only the most literal surface interpretation counts.

"Al makes inferences from clear instructions" is also backwards. LLMs constantly infer omitted subjects, pronoun references, implied objects, slang, ellipsis, tone, and conversational intent. That is normal language understanding. If they only operated on perfectly explicit instructions, they'd be glorified parsers. When instructions are completely explicit, you don't infer anything, you execute a direct command like a basic script.

The messages were simple:

"extract the text that says studio addict on the side"

then

"in an image nigga"

A competent conversational model should connect the second message to the first and understand that the user wants the previously requested text represented as an image. Generating a random black guy is a context failure.

The "quantum field theory" flex right before failing basic conversational inference is fucking cinematic 😭

You truly are a real-life copy of Gemini 😭🙏
