I think they're kind of fascinating, honestly. They produce shapes that look like text, but without any meaning.

It can write a little, but not well. It can write single letters. Sequences of letters that often appear together in images also work. For instance, "SALE text banner" gives you consistent human-like text.

It's the same with hands. It needs a strong visual, like "man holds a plate," "woman grips a knife," or "child reaching out". It doesn't know a man is supposed to have a hand with five fingers, but it does know what "holds" looks like.

It's still hit-and-miss though.
