Kinda forgot the sides being parallel part. Like missing a step in assembling IKEA furniture, its not gonna turn out right.
You don't normally need to specify that the sides are parallel if you specify four right angles.
Also pretty sure definition of a shape requires only one enclosed or contiguous area.

Wouldn't the angles need to be interior?
They are all interior to the meme
This meme seems to be in a 16:9 ratio making it a rectangle.

also the sides must be straight
Polar coordinate straight

This is merely a projection of a square on the surface of a cone projected onto a plane.

A square has all right angles inside the structure. This thing has two inside and two outside.
If you add that to the definition, you could still have a “square” with a segment of a circle connecting the edges in the middle

Out of 4 lines
This is what AI would give you after countless tries strating with a triangle and having gone up the Pentagon and down to two pairs of unconnected parallel lines.....but what if all equally sized lines were connected? Bam! This
Fun Fact: It is very difficult to get any of the image generators to make a pentagon.
I thought this couldn't be true, so using one of the newer models (4bit flux) I told it to make a 5 sided star, and then put lines around the outside
lol this is very weird, did they forbid it from looking at pentagons in the training data or something? it can't do The Pentagon either, it gives it 8-12 sides instead
I don't really know, but I think it's mostly to do with pentagons being under-represented in the world in general. That and the specific way that a pentagon breaks symmetry. But it's not completely impossible to get em to make one. After a lot of futzing around, o1 wrote this prompt, which seems to work 50% of the time with FLUX [pro]:
An illustration of a regular pentagon shape: a flat, two-dimensional geometric figure with five equal straight sides and five equal angles, drawn with black lines on a white background, centered in the image.
quick test, with that prompt and flux schnell gguf 4 bit again:
- pentagon: 1
- hexagon: 9
- heptagon: 2
- octagon: 7
- decagon: 1
it seems a lot stupider than pro lol
A square? A square?! Wake up sheeple! That things not even a rombus! Don't you see the lies? Look at the lines! Look! Not all rhombuses are squares, but all squares are rhombuses! All squares are rhombuses and look at this thing they try to call a square. Where are the parallel lines? There's got to be parallel lines, don't you see, or then it's not a rombus and all squares are rhombuses. Don't forget that, don't let them take that fact from you and perpetuate their geometric lies. Does no one even remember what a rombus is? This is, this is basic geometry here that you should have learned in middle school or elementary school, but then you just forget it, and let people trick you with these misleading definitions and fancy diagrams but you have to remember that a Square. Is. A. Rombus.
And all rhombus are parallelograms. By definition opposing sides must be parallel.

This is a square in polar coordinates
Now make a square out of squiggly yarn
String theorists claim this is the true shape of spacetime!

Take that, Euclid!
Poor Pac-Man does not look quite okay... :-(
That's a Pac-lapse.
thinking outside the square
HOW ELMO, HOW?!?
The 90 degree angles are supposed to be on the inside. Which in this case would mean at least the same side. Otherwise the 360 degree rule is broken and it's not a rectangle, much less a square.
