> To rub waribashi (disposable chopsticks) together to remove splinters.

Stopped reading there. If you're handing me crappy chopsticks to eat with I am rubbing them together first.

hold the chopstick however you like. so long as you don’t drop things unintentionally it’s fine.

I copy + pasted the whole article (minus the few included images) and added this prompt in Gemini 3 Pro:

> Take each of the following and add an image representing the act being described. The image should be very basic. Think of signs in buildings - exit signs, bathroom door signs, no smoking signs, etc. That style of simplicity. Just simple, flat, elegant vector graphic lines for the chopsticks, hands, bowls, etc.

Google Gemini output: https://gemini.google.com/share/11df1bc53e3d

I think this is pretty dang good for a one-shot run. I also ran this through Claude Opus 4.6 Extended (doesn't generate images directly, so it made an HTML page and some vector icons). Not as good as Gemini IMO. See here if curious: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/8b6589b3-4da4-4fd5-b862-c...

Anyone able to do this better with a different prompt or model (or both)?
