AI learnt "something" from the Physical & Life Sciences Forum.

I think a major weakness in AI is in evaluating images.
In another thread ( Further evaluation of windmills contributing to the Greenhouse effect as being pseudoscience. ), GPT-4o badly failed a fluid mechanics exam when the paper was scanned and inputted as an image file; by comparison it passed with flying colours when the exam was inputted directly as a message.

Taking this into consideration I decided to give GPT-4o my BASIC program of the generation of the graph r = cos(4θ) and as the challenge to see if it could translate the BASIC program into Python and make sense of the resultant image.

Here is the BASIC program and image output.

Sigh once again so near and yet so far, I have no idea why GPT-4o has incorporated orthogonal axes and what the values on these axes are supposed to mean.

It also flipped the 90 and 270 degrees labels indicating the graph is based on the polar equation r = cos(-4θ) instead of r = cos(4θ).
