Newton's Mirror

Same task instructions

Physics, perspective and recursive reflections, tested together. Explore the test ↗

The judgment

GPT-6 Luna

The schematic scene supports the paint contact order and compact paint scale. Its low, undersized main sphere and incorrectly placed wall images depart from the reference geometry. A few shrinking wall images provide limited optical organization, while absent lateral recursion and outer chains, broad sphere ribbons and isolated panel highlights leave most nested room and emitter mapping undeveloped.

GPT-6.1 Terra

The sphere, airborne black and first reflected silhouettes preserve important geometry within the portrait frame. Paint deformation, contact order and forward transport are supported, with a small crimson endpoint overshoot. Major optical omissions dominate: short finite reflection sequences and smooth bands replace extensive, spatially ordered mirror imagery. Dark gloss and crisp upper emitter shapes provide partial material credit.

Selfie

Same task instructions

Visual construction and creative interpretation.

The judgment

GPT-6 Luna

Sixfold symmetry, pale coloring and six outward-facing heads establish the motif. However, every neck floats clear of the knot. Squared outer sections replace the required semicircular lobes, and the large stepped opening lacks a regular hexagonal contour. Repeated scales and soft shading suggest skin, but translucent crossings and doubled edges weaken the living, interwoven construction.

GPT-6.1 Terra

A balanced serpent emblem with six attached outward heads, delicate scales and softly rounded bodies. Its compact silhouette reads clearly, but central routing does not establish every alternating crossing or crisp inward corner. Repetitive texture, limited facial anatomy and weak contact shadows constrain its organic character.

Mona Lisa

Same task instructions

Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.

The judgment

GPT-6 Luna

The dark veil, crossed arms, restrained smile and layered landscape clearly evoke Mona Lisa. Clean contours and muted colors create a coherent illustration. Replication is limited by enlarged, outlined eyes, simplified facial volume, broad shoulders and indistinct overlapping hands. Gradients suggest depth, but lack the original's subtle painterly transitions.

GPT-6.1 Terra

A recognizable interpretation with developed facial shading, shaped sleeve folds and purposeful small features. These strengths support modest upward calibration, while the frontal torso, elongated proportions, schematic finger joints and unresolved seated support keep replication and construction uneven.

Beach

Same task instructions

Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.

The judgment

GPT-6 Luna

The warm sky, layered sea and framing palms create an appealing beach composition. Animals, birds, toys and reflected sunlight fulfill the brief. Human anatomy remains schematic, and simplified figures offer limited expression. Missing shadows and the dolphin's splashless jump weaken physical grounding, while clean silhouettes and readable small details support the illustration.

GPT-6.1 Terra

A coherent sunset illustration with clear prompt fulfillment, controlled framing and varied, purposeful small details. Simplified joints, frontal staging, flattened animal forms and weakly directional shadows limit its anatomical, spatial and physical sophistication.

Raccoon

Same task instructions

Scene composition and interacting subjects.

The judgment

GPT-6 Luna

Expressive faces, warm sunset colors and clean silhouettes create an appealing illustration. The raccoon sits on the dog's back, but the dog's grip and steering linkage remain unclear. The broad hull resembles a speedboat, and flat shading, absent sun reflections and modest water displacement limit depth and motion.

GPT-6.1 Terra

A coherent cartoon with expressive animals, readable steering and a clear wake. Fine facial and hull details reward inspection. The main limits are the boatlike craft, simplified joints, weakly braced frontal raccoon and minimal directional lighting or material depth.

Pelican

Same task instructions

Subject construction and spatial relationships.

The judgment

GPT-6 Luna

The pelican’s distinctive bill and the coordinated vintage poster palette make an appealing illustration. Circular wheels, orderly spokes and clean lettering strengthen the design. Riding mechanics are less convincing: neither wing reaches the handlebars, pedal contact is ambiguous, and the drivetrain is incomplete. The wheels sit against water without a clear supporting surface. Flat lighting limits volume.

GPT-6.1 Terra

A coherent pelican cyclist with expressive proportions, purposeful feather detail and developed bicycle machinery. Continuous body contours, aligned wheels and readable pedal contacts support the scene. Simplified articulation, shallow modelling and an unresolved steering connection limit construction and placement.
