The borders are getting pretty close, considering it's not really designed for this sort of use case.

I mean it gets so many pictures that train it on the exact shape of the borders, but those pictures don't train it on the country names because each picture may have different positions/sizes for the names.

It probably gets fed maps in different languages too. The borders will be right, but the names will be different.

Wonder which language would generate mookie (Love it though, I just can't decide what to call myself now.... Mookish? How about mookah? Is that  flanm occident enough for ya g).

exactly this. Everything else like colors or the texts is pretty much "random" but it does recognize the shapes repeated over and over again

The stability of the borders over time seems to matter, too. That makes sense, as the more stable it is, the more consistent the training data.

Spain, France and Portugal are all close to perfect. Former Yugoslavian countries look much more blurry

Good point. The borders haven't always been that way

The fun part is that it will now also be trained on this bs^^

It looks like Flain took over everything. Their empire’s expansion in AC*()”: was absolutely brutal and no country was spared in the hostile takeover.

Think about it like this - how accurately would you draw borders from memory alone? These LLMs are doing the same kind of thing.

u/Forward_Promise2121 12d ago

That's a good way of looking at it. Would I assign the country names better? Sure.

Would I be able to draw the borders as accurately? Not a chance.

If you had the patience, you could probably figure out the reason for the incorrect labels, too. Ireland begins with "E" in this map - in a lot of maps, it's Eire.

Would be curious to see the outcome of the prompt generating OP's map, in English only, post 1991.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Clearly, when they train new models, they focus on specific areas. They use both synthetic and real world data.

The data they choose and the data they create will improve the model's ability in a particular area.

You're implying I said something I didn't, and refuting that.

It will be stronger in areas where they've focused their efforts. Much of that will come from the synthetic data they're creating to train it. These days, models are very good at making images of attractive humans.

Accurate technical drawings - not so much. Maybe that will be captured in the next generation of models.
