FRONT ROOM




A big AI hallucination
of the drawing above


ABSTRACT






The two previous KREA images
blended in KREA

Google Lens reverse image search
reduced the above AI image to THIFT STORE ART

"The image is a unique ink drawing featuring a figure seated amidst various abstract and mechanical objects. The artist is not explicitly identified in search results, though similar pieces have been found in thrift stores by unknown artists."

 

Ken Romig added me
to the drawing of the other two models

Gemini Coding Revisited


I continued to experiment with Vibe Coding in Google's Gemini 3 (like I just did with animated lines and voxels this month):

I asked Gemini 3 to write a program with the simple instructions below, and uploaded it to use in a blog page -- STRAIGHT and CURVED:

INSTRUCTIONS

"Make a simple drawing program in the browser where all the straight lines go to infinity (the edge of a box), and all the curved lines make a circle."

A drawing from the simple program


It worked, sorta. After three tries it always showed the lines, but NOT the circles that I drew -- yet both the lines and the circles were in the images when I downloaded them. 

Moreover, apparently half of the screen was hidden, when I tried to use the program in the browser.




PREVIOUS TRY

These are the same instructions I gave to DEEP SEEK back in February 2025, to write an online computer drawing program.  I did this on Hugging Face in a program called akhaliq/anycoder (which looks very different now), and created the Drawing Program:

I just drew this in the old program

And that program has the same issue, as half of the screen was hidden, when I tried to use the program in the browser.

In February I managed to draw some line images, which I stacked into an animated GIF, as my ultimate goal was to make an animation of lines eventually:

Ultimately I want the lines to move too





GOOGLE SEARCH

I subsequently entered the same request into Google Search, wondering if anyone else has created a program to do similar things.  

"Make a simple drawing program in the browser where all the straight lines go to infinity (the edge of a box), and all the curved lines make a circle."

Instead, Google Search generated the CODE for another program, which I made into a webpage -- Drawing Program from Google Search:



When I hit "Dive deeper in AI Mode" it takes me to Gemini Deep Dive.  However all my "thinking" hours had expired, so I believe that I got a lesser version of AI:





Following the instructions, and putting "index.html" and "drawing.js" in the same folder -- I could open that program locally in my Chrome browser. However it only drew one circle, or line, at a time...and erased that before the next circle or line was drawn. In other words, I could not draw a circle and line composition:

Google Search gave me a different program,
which I had to run locally on my laptop,
and drew only one circle or line at a time
