I changed to Gemini “Thinking” and got a better … albeit needlessly complex … answer:
I gave it a photo of me holding an upside down glass with this prompt:
Haha, I'm guessing there might be a bit of confusion with how you're describing the cup! Typically, when we talk about cups (like those used for drinking tea or coffee), they have an open top and a closed bottom to keep them stable on surfaces. But based on your description—where the "top" is sealed (closed) and the "bottom" is open—this sounds like it could be an unusual design or perhaps you're thinking of a cup that's been modified, misused, or even something entirely different.
Let me break this down step by step:
### 1. **What does this mean?**
- If we take your words literally: the sealed part is at the top (like the rim), and the bottom where it sits on things is open. That means when you place it upright, liquid can't flow out from the bottom because gravity would keep it contained if there's no hole or opening below to allow drainage.
- However, this setup might not be practical for drinking unless:
- There's an actual opening in the sealed part (but you said it was sealed, so probably not).
- Or perhaps "sealed" means something else—like a removable lid that can be opened when needed—but again, based on your message, I'm assuming no openings at all.
### 2. **How to drink from it?**
Since the top is sealed and the bottom is open, you'd probably need to invert the cup (turn it upside down) so that what was originally considered "the bottom" becomes the new top with an opening for pouring, while "the top" ends up at your mouth level—closed. But even then, if there's no drinking hole or specific feature, this might be messy and impractical.
Here are a few possible ways to drink from such a cup (depending on its exact design):
- **Invert it for use:** Turn the cup upside down so that the open part is now facing up. If you have a standard drinking cup with handles or other features, this might allow you to pour liquid into your mouth directly through the new top opening—similar to how some people drink from goblets or snifters designed without lids but with spill-resistant bottoms.
- **Use a straw:** If there's any way to create an access point on one side of the sealed part (e.g., cut a small hole if it was too tightly sealed), you could use this like a cup that requires a straw for drinking. But since you said both top and bottom are open or sealed, I'm not sure about this.
- **Blame miscommunication:** Maybe you meant to say the "opening" is at the top (standard) and it's sealed in some other way? Or perhaps you're referring to a cup that has been sold with one side blocked for storage. If so, just open it when you want to drink!
### 3. **Practical advice**
- If this cup was purchased as part of its standard design (e.g., maybe it's an antique hourglass-shaped vessel or something similar), drinking from it would be unusual—think of it more like pouring liquid into a hole than sipping normally.
- Otherwise, if the sealed top is just a temporary thing (like you put tape over the rim by accident), then unsealing it should fix the issue!
- In case this isn't helping—I can think outside the box here. Since the bottom is open and the top sealed, you could potentially use it to collect liquid from above or something like that for a creative twist! But again, I'm sticking with drinking being straightforward.
If you meant something else by "sealed" (like an air-tight seal) or have more details about how this cup works, feel free to clarify—I'd love to help brainstorm even better!

I won't disagree with YOLOv8 (it also has a segmentation derivative when required). It is quick in real-time with the appropriate hardware. My argument was more in line with an extreme example where proof is required.

It's no surprise Copilot got it wrong, that thing barely gets anything right, ever.
Well he's very far behind, because Grok is a turdfest.
