From the article:

Naturally. The easiest way to do it would be to generate a silhouette of a spider in the requested art deco style until you get one you like. Then, either quickly erase the leg manually or circle it with a red highlighter, and ask a editing model such as Nano Banana or GPT Image to remove that leg.

These kinds of problems where you’re overriding a very common, strongly learned object from the training data have historically been very difficult for most generative systems.

It’s the same reason the nine-pointed star example on my generative AI showdown site kills 90% percent of models. Even relatively simple prompts, like a five-leaf clover, were hard for a long time.
