  > ChatGPT: The human brain is also highly attuned to facial expressions and features, making the task of generating a convincing face a high priority for AI researchers. As a result, AI has made significant progress in generating realistic faces, but rendering fingers remains a challenging task that requires further research and development.

  This is probably the best answer, but there's no pleasing the human overlords:

  > So while it could be as simple as a lack of priority from developers, it still strikes me as bizarre that it can’t even count to five. At this point, ChatGPT began to show some of that defensiveness that tends to creep in when any AI is challenged.

  I've seen that defensiveness in challenged humans too (and in myself quite often). Congratulations to author, it managed to annoy an AI.

  AIs are trained to produce engaging, advertiser-friendly results. Who does the most advertising? Businesses and the corporate world. What type of art style is trending in this corporate setting? Corporate Memphis.

  At least that’s just my theory.

  It might be a mix of complexity and lack of training data.
