An OOD test worth watching: asking Gemini 4.1 Pro to paint surrealism with pure Python code
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-14
A netizen proposes an interesting out-of-distribution test: no computer use, no pixel-perfect cursor strokes, no Blender MCP — just one prompt: "Here. Surrealism. Use Python. No image reuse. Do it beautifully." V4.1 Pro turns out to be good at Python, producing impressive programmatic reproductions of complex images. The author contrasts this with an earlier test where the model replicated a reference image via cursor actions, calling that a tremendous flex of computer use — but the pure-code art test far more interesting.
