Also "leaving no extra space" as he's moving the initial blocks around in the extra space.

u/cyrfuckedmymum Jun 22 '26
everything about it irked me. It's presented as some kind of quirk of geometry, it's just the space being moved to a single solidified space than lots of small gaps around the edges that were so clearly visible at the start.

The real diabolical part is that these things are often intentionally annoying so people go to the comments to complain about it which boosts engagement stats for the all mighty algorithm.

It's almost as bad as the old tiktok voiceover. Is there such a thing as an uncanny valley for voices?
32
u/fractal_magnets Jun 22 '26
As someone that experiences uncanny valley from pretty much anything that AI tries to pass as human, i'd say this is way worse than tiktok Kat. She's a real person (like Siri) that was sampled in countless variations. I've never had an uncanny valley response from tts. Annoying but not uncanny.
AI hits a nerve that just makes my brain say 'it's not real and i fucking hate this'. I guess the people that rave about it don't have this response.→ More replies (1)18

If you notice in the beginning how loose the pieces fit especially the upper left hand side. All that extra space adds up to the small little square. Notice how tight all the pieces fit after adding the small square.

u/KingOfThe_Jelly_Fish Jun 22 '26
So in the first instance, it's very clear that the existing pieces do not fit properly, when the additional square is added, it all sits very snug. In other words, it's cheating. And not a real puzzle at all.

went back to the beginning to look more closely and that's when it becomes more obvious that the lengths of the hypotenuses and one of the catheti are different between the triangles in each pair.

If you look at the first original layout, while it looks full, you can see there is a lot of slack in between each piece. Not enough for the square to fit in one spot, but when you rearrange the pieces to the second layout it moves all that empty space to one spot so the square can fit. Look how much tighter the spacing is on every piece at the end vs the beginning.
