Is it that LLMs are weak with spatial reasoning (and memory) or is it that we are unusually good at it?

When I need to use a program I seldomly use I'm far more likely to remember where I need to click to open it than the word I need to search for to open it.

Yes I like to think of humans with built-in accelerators for certain tasks -- our visual and spatial reasoning is off the charts presumably because it's a life or death skill!

I made a building and had astra fill out the interior of the bathroom with toilets. It put 6 of them in two rows back to back with no way to reach the second row. Other than climbing over the stalls of the first row I suppose.

So yeah, they are very weak at spatial reasoning.
