Prompting Challenge: AI struggles with simple repeating shapes
negadecimal · reddit · 2026-08-25
The author shares a prompting challenge: getting major image models to generate a precise line drawing of 7 equilateral triangles joined in a ring to form a heptagon. Despite theoretical simplicity, results were poor (14-sided shapes, non-equilateral triangles, squares). The author invites others to try their luck, suspecting the issue lies in prompting.
