Anecdotal, opinion:

Gpt is really good in vision stuff, or at least their MoE seems to be really cohesive. From my experience Claude models can be really good at language but the moment they need to look at a picture and decide why the design is not good what parts need improvement it degrades a lot. My easiest benchmark is giving them a screenshot of a feature in my app and tell it "identify non-normative UI blocks and improve readability and consistency". Sol does a great job at re-structuring the page into composable units that build upon each other and the general looks and feels of the app. Claude tends to over-focus one one part while completely forgetting about the rest or the cohesion as a whole.

For the last 2 weeks I've been trying to get Codex to "outpaint" a wonderful image it generated as placeholder art for a level background.

After I increased the game's resolution, I asked it to increase the image's size while keeping the same scale and existing content, and gosh, it constantly keeps getting something wrong no matter what I tell it, even on Sol Max with the $100 Pro subscription.

An organically-grown meat-based pixel-artist could have recreated the image and more within 2-3 days, in exchange for food and shelter.

did you try segmenting it first?

My anecdotal evidence says its still as blind as any other model, it has no taste, no attention to any sort of detail.

How can a vision model have taste?

Replace taste with consistent if that helps you. Can it follow a design system...

If you're doing any kind of inference that is multi-modal and non-factual, opinions and biases will affect any kind of assessment of a visual that you provide to a model.

For example, a UI / UX professional being asked to appraise a website screenshot may determine that the image in question has "desirable" traits which are inherently not deterministically measurable. Such as, if the interface elements have strong information hierarchy, or if they are deemed to be "fashionable" with current UI trends.
