I've been playing around with it for the past hour. It's really good but from my preliminary testing it definitely falls short of gpt-image-1 (or even Imagen 3/4) where reasonably complex strict prompt adherence is concerned. Scored around ~50% where gpt-image-1 scored ~75%. Couldn't handle the maze, Schrödinger's equation, etc.

Is it fair to call the OpenAI octopus “real”?

Those are the wrong images - the CDN was caching older media - I've since purged it so the right ones should show up now. Thanks for the call out!

No problem. I am seeing the correct image now.

Fantastic comparisons! Great to see the limitations of the latest models.

interesting to see how many still can't handle the nine pointed star correctly

Great work, thanks.

Midjourneys images are the only ones which don’t make me uncomfortable (most of the time), hopefully they can fix their prompt adherence.

I too have have been underwhelmed by these pelican on a bicycle creators. We used to use them for company blog art, by lately we've switched to using attributed images from Wikimedia commons.

Prompt idea: "A person holding a wooden Penrose triangle." Only GPT-4o image generation is able to make Penrose triangles, as far as I can tell.

Thanks for that comparison/overview/benchmark!

However, you have mistakenly marked some answers as correct ones in the octopus prompt: only 1 generated image has octopus have sock puppets on all of its tentacles. And you marked that one image as an incorrect one due to sock looking more like gloves.
