       | coordinate data, like svg files and it couldn't. I was able to
       | give it and example of coordinates for a simple shape (a
       | triangle) and it deduced the shape. Obviously it doesn't have or
       | pretend to have spatial reasoning abilities, it's interesting to
       | see what it can do anyway and how it breaks down.

         | When you gave it the triangle shape, how many points did you
         | specify? I doubt it will deduce a shape if you give it a few
         | dozens of points in a random order and not connected any lines,
         | as that requires some abstract thinking. But I totally believe
         | that if you give it 3 points, it will guess the shape.
         | 
         | Btw, deducing shapes from points is a good proxy to what a
         | thought is: it's a possible interpolation between observations,
         | and we call such interpolations "meanings".

           | Me: Are llms like you capable of some basic analysis of
           | coordinate data, that may be able to help you consider the
           | nature of a vector drawing? For example, if I told you I had
           | three lines defined x,y coordinates as follows: line 1: (0,0)
           | to (3,0); line 2: (3,0) to (3,4), line 3: (0,0) to (3,4).
           | What can you tell me about the shape those lines would make?
           | Gpt (4): Based on the coordinate data you've provided, it can
           | be deduced that these lines form a right-angled triangle.
           | Here's how:            Line 1 extends from (0,0) to (3,0).
           | This means it is a horizontal line of length 3 along the
           | x-axis.       Line 2 extends from (3,0) to (3,4). This means
           | it is a vertical line of length 4 along the y-axis.
           | Line 3 extends from (0,0) to (3,4). This line can be seen as
           | the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.       So, together
           | these lines form a right-angled triangle with one angle of 90
           | degrees at the point (3,0), where Line 1 and Line 2
           | intersect. The line from (0,0) to (3,0) is the base, the line
           | from (3,0) to (3,4) is the height, and the line from (0,0) to
           | (3,4) is the hypotenuse.

       | For anything other than comedy, which is not equally well done by
       | typing your query into your favorite search engine, it seems that
       | this kind of "AI" has no "I".
