Somewhat interesting thing with my 9yo. She's a pretty good artist, she can draw various characters and objects pretty well.

With this she clearly just wanted to do the standard stick fish shape, but it turns out she only knows how to do it facing left. Facing left, looks typical, facing right, almost a figure 8. So after like 6 attempts being judged by the computer she's getting frustrated, and I'm like how about this, turn the phone upside down to have her draw facing left. But now she can't do it left either!

Feature request: Make the model evaluate the fish and then evaluate the mirrored version of the fish. Pick the highest value as the orientation. What could go wrong? Perhaps ask the user before mirroring?

We definitely need a text-to-stickfish model here

You're right, that IS interesting. Something about having to learn with rigid constraints first before you can generalize the knowledge, I guess.

I think she learned to do the fish the way kids learn to draw a star. It's a motion they learn to do, and she wanted to do that simple motion. She's good at knowing a shape she wants to make and drawing it but I think knowing a gesture she wants to make is different.

And then I think when she consciously thinks about it - trying to do it the opposite way, or later the normal way after being judged repeatedly - she can't make the motion that way. But I bet if she was just thinking of the shape and trying to draw that shape it would be zero issue.
