New research delves into how language-based AI, like ChatGPT, comprehends color metaphors.
Study explores how different groups of people, including color-blind individuals, painters, and AI models, interpret color-related language.
Color-blind individuals and those with normal vision showed similar understanding of color metaphors, indicating symbolic comprehension does not require perceiving color.
While ChatGPT provided thoughtful responses based on cultural and emotional associations, it struggled with new, unfamiliar color metaphors and lacked human-like embodied experiences.
