The image functionality is pretty underwhelming.

Some things I tried that it failed at:

* Simple "spot the difference" a young child could do

* Counting chess pieces on a board or coins in a mario screenshot

* Describing a photo of a car on a road

* Evaluating a graph of y=x and one of y=x^2

* Explaining a meme image (said it can't do anything with images of people)

* Taking a screenshot & giving HTML for it (gave random HTML unrelated to image)

* Taking an image and converting to SVG (gave random SVG unrelated to image)

* Describing a photo of a car (it was parked on a road, Bard said it was driving in front of a brick wall)

It was quite good at OCR though even for images that are pretty tough for other models (eg serial numbers on industrial parts).
