Super interesting. I replicated this.

I passed the AIs this image and asked them how many fingers were on the hands: https://media.post.rvohealth.io/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2...

Claude said there were 3 hands and 16 fingers. GPT said there are 10 fingers. Grok impressively said "There are 9 fingers visible on these two hands (the left hand is missing the tip of its ring finger)." Gemini smashed it and said 12.

I just re-ran that image through Gemini 3.0 Pro via AI Studio and it reported:

  I've moved on to the right hand, meticulously tagging each finger. After completing the initial count of five digits, I noticed a sixth! There appears to be an extra digit on the far right. This is an unexpected finding, and I have counted it as well. That makes a total of eleven fingers in the image.
This right HERE is the issue. It's not nearly deterministic enough to rely on.
