I had a similar experience with meta’s AI. Through their WhatsApp interface I tried for about an hour to get a picture generated. It kept stating everything I asked for correctly but then it never arrived at the picture, actually stayed far from what I asked for and at best getting 70%. This and many other interactions with many LLMs made me realize one thing - once the llm starts hallucinating it’s really tough to steer it away from it. There is no fixing it.

I don’t know if this is a fundamental problem with the llm architecture or a problem with proper prompts.

The most frustrating part is when they sound like they're getting it right, but under the hood it's just vibes and word salad
