An interesting test in this vein that I read about in a comment on here is generating a 13 hour clock—I tried just about every prompting trick and clever strategy I could come up with across many image models with no success. I think there's so much training data of 12 hour clocks that just clobbers the instructions entirely. It'll make a regular clock that skips from 11 to 13, or a regular clock with a plaque saying "13 hour clock" underneath, but I haven't gotten an actual 13 hour clock yet.

Right you are. It can do 26 hours just fine, but appears completely incapable when the layout would be too close to a normal clock.

I thought giving it a setting would help, but just skip that first response to see what I mean.
That's a 24 hour clock that skips some numbers and puts other numbers out of order.

"just fine" is not really an accurate description of that 26-hour clock

It was ugly. But I got ChatGPT to cheat and do it
