Looks amazing,can you please also create a unconventional image like the clock at 2:35 , I tried it something like this with gemini when some redditor asked it and it failed so wondering if 4o does do it


I tried and it failed repeatedly (like actual error messages):

> It looks like there was an error when trying to generate the updated image of the clock showing 5:03. I wasn’t able to create it. If you’d like, you can try again by rephrasing or repeating the request.

A few times it did generate an image but it never showed the right time. It would frequently show 10:10 for instance.


If it tried and failed repeatedly, then it was prompting DALL-E, looking at the results, then prompting DALL-E again, not doing direct image generation.


So it's not doing what they are saying/ advertising, I think you are onto something big then


No... OpenAI said it was "rolling out". Not that it was "already rolled out to all users and all servers". Some people have access already, some people don't. Even people who have access don't have it consistently, since it seems to depend on which server processes your request.


I tried and while the clock it generated was very well done and high quality, it showed the time as the analog clock default of 10:10.


The problem now is we don't know if people mistake dall-e for the new multimodal gpt4o output, they really should've made that clearer.


I’m using 4o and it gets time wrong a decent chunk but doesn’t get anything else in the prompt incorrect. I asked for the clock to be 4:30 but got 10:10. OpenAI pro account.


Shouldn't reasoning make the clock work though.

Why does it sound like this isn't reasoning on images directly but rather just dall e as some other comment said , I will type the name of the person here (coder543)
