I am bound to say that turning to another large language model to seek some insight into the original output is unlikely to convince those of us for whom it is all completely meaningless and devoid of anything other than purely academic interest.

After your response, I have tried 8 other abstract line drawings (of human origin, AFAICT) with the same prompt. Claude always tried to find something related to itself in them, but it seems it liked the spiral the most. In some cases it even subtly questioned whether it was created by AI or there was a significant human input.

Oh and BTW it's a similar model to the one which produced the image, just without the original context.

So while it's not proof, I think it would be an interesting line of research whether AIs can communicate their feelings through abstract "art".
