What is this obsession with clocks recently?

I don't know if it's actually related, but I've read that asking people to draw a clock face is a simple way to identify some brain problems

Quick screening for dementia, according to this

Edit: I guess this means most of the AI has 'Conceptual Deficits', pretty accurate lol

Would be funny if AI models are generating such wildly useless "clocks" because they ingested too many dementia screening tests in their training data

There is someone training the biggest, bestest model to draw clock faces to pass that test as we speak.

I'm guessing it's an easy metric to compare benchmarks. "Write a clock".
