I just feel this is a great example of someone falling into the common trap of treating an LLM like a human.

They are vastly less intelligent than a human and logical leaps that make sense to you make no sense to Claude. It has no concept of aesthetics or of course any vision.

All that said; it got pretty close even with those impediments! (It got worse because the writer tried to force it to act more like a human would)

I think a better approach would be to write a tool to compare screenshots, identity misplaced items and output that as a text finding/failure state. claude will work much better because your dodging the bits that are too interpretive (that humans rock at and LLMs don't)

> vastly less intelligent than a human

I would more phrase it like that they are a completely alien “intelligence” that cant really be compared to human intelligence

The blog frequently refers to the LLM as "him" instead of "it" which somehow feels disturbing to me.

I love to anthropomorphize things like rocks or plants, but something about doing it to an AI that responds in human like language enters an uncanny valley or otherwise upsets me.
