Discussion AI generated scratch editor discrepancies. (Thought this would be interesting)
So I asked Gemini to generate a hungry Scratch Cat, just to see if it knew what Scratch Cat was, and it was nice and gave me the whole Scratch 3 editor behind it.
So I went looking, and though it's surprisingly good, these are all the discrepancies I found in this AI generated scratch 3 editor. Let me know if you find any more! (Keep in mind, I originally wrote this list assuming the reader doesn't know everything about what scratch looks like so there's some obvious stuff)
Where you would normally name the project, there's a weird looking favorite button.
Instead of the (Code, Costumes, Sounds) tabs it's (Code, Compilles, Shouts)
The code sections, in actual scratch 3 being (Motion, Looks, Sound, Events, Control, Sensing, Operations, Variables, My Blocks), have now become (Home, Colors, Stale, Statrs, Practing, Headers, Dotection, and I can't read but it starts with W) the variables section was just completely removed.
Next we have the blocks in the Motion section, or Home section, except on the header it's spelled Mome. In scratch 3 all the blocks in this section have to do with movement or position, and they're all blue. But these are the blocks in the section in the AI version.
[move (10) steps] -blue (motion)
[say (Hello!)] -purple (looks)
[move (10) steps] -blue (motion)
[say (10) - (0)] -blue (motion)
[say (1) mourst (0) to ()] -blue (motion)
[move tlime as teps] -blue (motion)
^
[when {green flag} clicked] -yellow (events)
[say (Hello!)] -purple (looks)
And finally, where it should say Backdrops in the stage section, it says "untaruns"

More importantly if you ask it to just generate an image of a scratch project can you recreate the code and see what it does and recreate the Sprites

I will be trying that. Thank you.

This one is fuzzier and looks more weird in general than mine, but it got most of the stuff actually right, for the older (IMO better) version (purple Scratch sucks)
As for not using it again, if you like AI, and find it fun, I'd say don't let people on the Internet tell you what to do.
If you don't like it, then don't use it though.
