İSLAMİ GEOMETRİK DESENLERİN YAPAY ZEKA MODELLERİ TARAFINDAN ALGILANMASI: CHATGPT VE GEMİNİ KIYASLAMASI

ŞAMIL CAN GÜDER 1

Bu çalışma, ChatGPT (GPT-4o) ve Gemini (1.5 Pro) modellerinin İslami Geometrik Desenleri (İGD) algılama ve yorumlama kapasitelerini kültürel, tarihsel ve mimari bağlamda kıyaslamayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada yöntem olarak, geleneksel kurallara uygun tasarlanan 12 özgün desen; sıfır-örneklem, düşünce zinciri ve mekansal bağlam istemlerini içeren üç kademeli bir deneysel protokolle test edilmiştir. Bulgular, yerleşik çok kipli mimariye sahip Gemini modelinin, bu çalışmada kullanılan veri seti üzerindeki desenleri saptamada yüzde 100 başarı gösterdiğini; metinsel muhakeme odaklı ChatGPT’nin ise desenleri tekil analiz etmek yerine kanıtlanamayan çıkarımlar üreterek tam başarıda yüzde 0’da kaldığını ortaya koymuştur. ChatGPT’nin özellikle Batı dışı motiflerde kültürel düzleşme yaşadığı ve gerçekliğe dayanmayan geometrik veriler ürettiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, bu deney kapsamında belirli sınırlılıklar gözlenmiş olup, yapay zeka modellerinin kültürel miras analizlerinde tam anlamıyla güvenilir hale gelmesi için eğitim veri setlerindeki Batı merkezli dengesizliğin bölgesel ve teknik metriklerle giderilmesi bilimsel bir zorunluluktur.

PERCEPTION OF ISLAMIC GEOMETRIC PATTERNS BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODELS: A COMPARISON OF CHATGPT AND GEMINI

ŞAMIL CAN GÜDER 1

This study aims to compare the perception and interpretation capacities of ChatGPT (GPT-4o) and Gemini (1.5 Pro) models regarding Islamic Geometric Patterns (IGP) within cultural, historical, and architectural contexts. As a methodology, 12 original designs following traditional rules were tested using a three-stage experimental protocol including zero-shot, chain-of-thought, and spatial context prompts. Findings revealed that the Gemini model, with its native multi-modal architecture, achieved 100% success in identifying the patterns within the dataset used in this study, while ChatGPT, focused on textual reasoning, achieved 0% full success by generating unverified inferences instead of individual analysis. It was determined that ChatGPT suffers from cultural flattening and produces geometric data not based on reality, particularly in non-Western motifs. Consequently, specific limitations were observed in this experiment, and to make AI models reliable in cultural heritage analysis, it is a scientific necessity to address the Western-centric imbalance in training datasets through regional and technical metrics.
