- A user asked ChatGPT to draw an illustration of Kepler's second law; it produced an incorrect image while confidently calling it "highly accurate."
- In a follow-up experiment, prompting the model to draw a square equal in area to a disk using only geometric intuition (no tools) yielded a correct derivation (r = s/√π).
- A funny look at how AI geometric intuition can swing between spot-on and confidently wrong.
