Yesterday I was trying to add a patio to some real estate photos, i.e. "virtual staging".

I uploaded 4 different photos of the same house, from different angles.

I asked Gemini, ChatGPT, and Grok add the same patio to each photo. The results were laughably incoherent (not to mention ugly).

I repeatedly asked them to make the 4 photos consistent in 3D, and it's obvious that they have no way to do this -- no understanding of the scene.

They also could not understand the concept of "back patio" and "side patio" -- relative to the house, when the house was being photographed from different angles. Even when I pointed out which one was the side patio, they would get it confused in a different image.

(I should not be surprised by this, and yeah I know everyone says LLMs have "jagged" capabilities. But to me this shows how bad all the extrapolation of AI I read on say Hacker News has been)
