Why AI Struggles with Collages: Intelligence Lies in the Generative Model, Not the Tool
snikolov · x · 2026-08-08
Testing reveals that asking AI to create a collage using code tools, iteration, and aesthetic prompts often results in uninteresting compositions. The author suggests this is because the core intelligence resides within the generative image model itself, rather than in the orchestration tools.
If an AI were to literally rearrange elements using segmentation and image editing, it would need to judge outputs, select among them, and learn to take better actions. However, current models have not been trained to operate this way, leading to poor performance in complex compositional tasks.
