Had a real scare with a new image generator at work last week
We were testing a new AI tool called 'CanvasFlow' to mock up floor layouts for a client in Denver. I typed in a simple description for a herringbone pattern, but the system glitched and started generating impossible, Escher-like designs that broke every rule of geometry. I had to shut the whole demo down and explain to the client that the AI was having a bad day. Has anyone else run into a model that just starts making up its own impossible physics?

CanvasFlow sounds like it tried to design a house for ghosts. I had a similar thing happen with a texture generator that started making wood grain flow like water. These tools get creative when they're confused.

My AI once drew a cat with six legs.

six legs" oh wow lol. I actually read something the other day about how AI sometimes defaults to adding extra limbs because it's pulling from a bunch of different reference images at once, like a weird genetic mash-up. @wadew51 makes a good point though, maybe that's the kind of weirdness that actually makes you think differently about what you're making.

Actually sounds like a feature, not a bug. Those impossible designs could spark some really cool ideas. Maybe the client would have loved a building that breaks the rules.
