A square has all right angles inside the structure. This thing has two inside and two outside.

If you add that to the definition, you could still have a “square” with a segment of a circle connecting the edges in the middle

Then that section would be of a shorter length.

This has an infinite number of sides

This is what AI would give you after countless tries strating with a triangle and having gone up the Pentagon and down to two pairs of unconnected parallel lines.....but what if all equally sized lines were connected? Bam! This

[–] Hackworth 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fun Fact: It is very difficult to get any of the image generators to make a pentagon.

[–] AdrianTheFrog 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I thought this couldn't be true, so using one of the newer models (4bit flux) I told it to make a 5 sided star, and then put lines around the outside

lol this is very weird, did they forbid it from looking at pentagons in the training data or something? it can't do The Pentagon either, it gives it 8-12 sides instead

[–] Hackworth 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I don't really know, but I think it's mostly to do with pentagons being under-represented in the world in general. That and the specific way that a pentagon breaks symmetry. But it's not completely impossible to get em to make one. After a lot of futzing around, o1 wrote this prompt, which seems to work 50% of the time with FLUX [pro]:

An illustration of a regular pentagon shape: a flat, two-dimensional geometric figure with five equal straight sides and five equal angles, drawn with black lines on a white background, centered in the image.

[–] AdrianTheFrog 1 points 4 days ago

quick test, with that prompt and flux schnell gguf 4 bit again:

  • pentagon: 1
  • hexagon: 9
  • heptagon: 2
  • octagon: 7
  • decagon: 1

it seems a lot stupider than pro lol

This is a square in polar coordinates

A square? A square?! Wake up sheeple! That things not even a rombus! Don't you see the lies? Look at the lines! Look! Not all rhombuses are squares, but all squares are rhombuses! All squares are rhombuses and look at this thing they try to call a square. Where are the parallel lines? There's got to be parallel lines, don't you see, or then it's not a rombus and all squares are rhombuses. Don't forget that, don't let them take that fact from you and perpetuate their geometric lies. Does no one even remember what a rombus is? This is, this is basic geometry here that you should have learned in middle school or elementary school, but then you just forget it, and let people trick you with these misleading definitions and fancy diagrams but you have to remember that a Square. Is. A. Rombus.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And all rhombus are parallelograms. By definition opposing sides must be parallel.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

YES. YES! A square is a rombus is a parallelogram! You see it too! There are no parallels in this diagram, only lies and trickery!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

You have shown me the truth

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago

270°≠90°

You could say a regular square has 4 270° exterior angles

Now make a square out of squiggly yarn

String theorists claim this is the true shape of spacetime!

you geometry people go too far stop personifying vertexes, planes, and points math shouldn't be fun

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

HOW ELMO, HOW?!?

[–] Randelung 2 points 5 days ago

The 90 degree angles are supposed to be on the inside. Which in this case would mean at least the same side. Otherwise the 360 degree rule is broken and it's not a rectangle, much less a square.

Ik exactly what this means but every single time I read it it makes me do the Micheal Jackson thing...

Where are the broad, flat fingernals tho?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie 6 points 6 days ago

You're testing me, yo. An I'm bout to fail.
