Firefly can't count

Why can't Firefly count? It's been over a year with hundreds of complaints about how Firefly can't count. Is counting really all that hard?
Another attempt... I typed "eight wheeled car" and EVERY image was a four wheeled car. Over and over again. Firefly couldn't grasp a car with more than four wheels. So, I tried fewer than four. I typed in "one wheeled car" and it gave me four-wheeled cars again.

I tried a different approach. I typed in "eight birds". It gave me six.

Seriously, why can't Firefly count?

I appreciate you trying, but that video is about *hands*. Do you have a
video explaining why Firefly can't *count*? The video you sent only
mentions counting by saying we're *biased* in how important counting
fingers is to us. How did that unrelated response get so many upvotes?

Regardless of the excuses for hands, my post was actually about how Firefly
can't count (as you can see in the post headline), not why Firefly has
problems with hands.

I think there is a very large difference between hand generation and
counting. What does hand generation have to do with this image of "eight"
birds (hint... there are only six birds).

Here's how AI works and how it's trained. And that's why it cannot do that.

Why can't Firefly count? It's been over a year with hundreds of complaints about how Firefly can't count. Is counting really all that hard for AI?
Another attempt... I typed "eight wheeled car" and EVERY image was a four wheeled car. Over and over again. Firefly couldn't grasp a car with more than four wheels. So, I tried fewer than four. I typed in "one wheeled car" and it gave me four-wheeled cars again.

I tried a different approach. I typed in "eight birds". It gave me six.

So, what's going on?
