It seems like the AI app doesn't understand how an engine works. At least in the first picture there are 7 holes in the side of the block 
I wonder what it would show for an " inline 5 cylinder " for reference ?

The fact that it didn’t include Daisy will always make its lack of life apparent.
I’m still scared by the anecdote of the person who asked AI if it were a bot, and it knew to lie about it.

Back to the 7-cylinder AI Challenge™!
As before, the only instruction to each AI was this: draw a line art of an inline 7 cylinder engine block. It must show seven cylinder bores, no pistons, and the cylinder bores must be inline
Well folks, I don't think we're getting better, and might even be getting worse. I ran this again today and here are the results:
ChatGPT
My comment: no comment... if you don't have anything nice to say, etc.
Grok 2
My comment: Grok 2 completely failed the "line art" clause in the instructions, even though these renderings are pretty neat looking.
My Thoughts
The fourth Grok 2 image is not a mistake, the AI really did fail like this. I included the screenshot since there was no downloadable. ChatGPT image files are .webp, which are very, very awkward files because image uploaders typically reject them as images. Why does ChatGPT make this the downloadable file type? Whatever.
An interesting discovery is that the impossible nature of a 7-cylinder engine as a true, real-world engine is not responsible for these terrible AI images. How do I know? I tested this theory by simply swapping the 7 for an 8 in my command.
But wait! What's that in the upper left? A SEVEN CYLINDER INLINE ENGINE BLOCK. 
Final Thoughts
Despite the hoopla, AI image generation is not even in the ballpark. It's certainly interesting, but that's about it. It's not useful in a technical setting, and IMHO not even useful as a grade school educational tool at this point. I'll test again in a few months.

ChatGPT's looks like a 1980s boom box on LSD.
Oops, I guess I did have something not nice to say.
