I have not worked with the app yet, but find this topic very interesting
since, as a totally blind folder, I have been creating text-only
instructions for a while now.
You can find them at www.accessorigami.com
From the main page there is a link with some other sites and authors as
well. I think there may be a difference between instructions that don't
rely on pictures, diagrams or other visual input at all, and those text
instructions that refer to some accompanying visual elements.
I think this might be applicable to lots of "how to" questions one
could ask from the app?
Kind regards.

I guess part of the problem is that there are insufficient examples of
text-only origami instructions in ChatGPT's set of training texts. We
all need to start publishing text-only instructions for lots of
traditional and original models to help the AIs of the future be
better at this task!
Or not.
Creating an AI that can create step-by-step text descriptions of what
happens on the screen in a video would be another solution, but quite
a challenge, I suppose...

Well, I guess it is a philosophical question, whether a text-based AI
is able to see, but I guess no, not in the way we see, feel and
experience the world. As it seems, the AI is still missing data about
Origami.

Thank you but I'm well aware how to fold a crane. Some years ago
Gerwin and I even "optimized" the folding sequence to be more fun,
faster and easier to fold. You should give it a try:

The question was does the newly hyped AI know how to fold a crane
too? The answer is a clear no. AI might be part of our future, but I
guess until it starts to be any useful in Origami it might still take
a while.
