#Sora is deeply confused about many aspects of reality ("optical microscopy image of an Asteraceae pollen grain")🌿🧪

Finally, if we ask #OpenAI's #Sora for "tricolpate pollen grains in several plant families, as seen down a light microscope", we get...what, a pile of rugulate walnuts, or #Elaeocarpus seeds?🧪🌿

Maybe #Sora is meant to just produce fun videos for kids? This junk, in response to "tricolpate pollen grains viewed under light microscopy, in several plant families". These remind me of extinct Cretaceous Wodehousia pollen, (probably an extinct angiosperm lineage), but c'mon. #palynology 🌿🧪 1/2

if I give #OpenAI's #Sora a little more instruction: "several tricolporate pollen grains from different families, shown in polar and equatorial views" we get a collection of star anise fruits and, perhaps, SEM images of anisopolar pollen from non-angiosperm land-plants in a parallel universe.🌿🧪

oh dear, this is #OpenAI's #Sora's response to "several tricolporate pollen grains shown in polar and equatorial views". These do look a *little* like tiny bony fruits, but somehow it does not understand what "tri" might signify? #palynology #pollen 🧪🌿

Evidently, #OpenAI's #Sora just hasn't stored meaningful connections between the components of the phrase "triaperturate pollen" and appropriate visual information. Here are two videos I prescribed as "triaperturate pollen grains slowly rotating" #palynology🧪🌿 1/2
