Chalkboard Menu
Text-to-Image“Handwritten-style chalkboard menu in a cozy café, all text rendered in the exact same realistic chalk handwriting style with natural variations in letter size, slight slant, and chalk texture — no printed or digital fonts anywhere on the board. Title at the top in elegant cursive chalk handwriting: ‘TODAY’S SPECIALS – APRIL 30, 2026’. Below it, three menu items also in the same handwritten chalk style: ‘Truffle Mushroom Risotto – $24’, ‘Grilled Octopus with Lemon & Herbs – $28’, ‘Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – $9’. At the very bottom, smaller text in the identical handwritten chalk style (slightly smaller but still clearly legible with the same handwriting characteristics): ‘All items made fresh daily • Ask about our gluten-free options’. Warm ambient café lighting, visible chalk dust and smudges, realistic handwriting imperfections, no clean printed text anywhere.”
AI Judge Analysis
Qwen Image 2512
- + Excellent chalk texture with visible smudges and powdery effects.
- + Captured the requested cursive handwriting style for the heading and items.
- + Rich wood texture on the frame and realistic café background
- − Spelling error in 'Risitto' instead of 'Risotto'.
- − Slightly less clean layout with line breaks that cut off words awkwardly.
Wan 2.7 Pro
- + Perfect spelling on all requested menu items.
- + Very clean and readable layout with consistent line spacing.
- + Good adherence to the full list of items within the frame.
- − The text looks a bit more like a digital font than authentic chalk handwriting.
- − The 'handwritten' style is very uniform, lacking natural human variation in the title.
Verdict: Qwen Image 2512 produces a much more authentic chalk texture and artistic handwriting style, capturing the 'handwritten' feel requested in the prompt, despite a small spelling error. Wan 2.7 Pro excels at literal text accuracy and layout but the resulting image looks more like a digital chalkboard template than a hand-drawn sign.
The Capybara Taxi Driver
Text-to-Image“Photorealistic scene inside a yellow New York taxi at night. A capybara is driving, wearing a yellow taxi driver cap and a dark jacket. It has a calm, professional expression and both front paws on the steering wheel. In the back seat sits a human businesswoman in a coat, looking at her phone with a completely normal, bored expression (as if this is just another normal ride). Through the windows you can see the streets of Manhattan at night with blurred lights. Realistic taxi interior, photorealistic, detailed fur and fabric, 35mm lens, night lighting with reflections, shallow depth of field.”
AI Judge Analysis
Qwen Image 2512
- + Perfect adherence to character positioning with the woman correctly in the back seat.
- + Accurately captures the 'bored' expression of the businesswoman as requested.
- + High level of texture detail on the capybara's fur and the leather steering wheel.
Wan 2.7 Pro
- + Excellent side-profile composition showing the movement of the street through the window.
- + Very realistic lighting integration between the interior and the city lights.
- − Failed the spatial positioning requirement by placing the passenger in the front seat alongside the capybara.
- − The capybara's paws are rendered as primate-like hands rather than animal paws.
Verdict: Qwen Image 2512 is the clear winner as it correctly followed the spatial instruction to place the woman in the back seat, whereas Wan 2.7 Pro placed her in the front passenger seat. Qwen Image 2512 also better captured the 'bored' expression of the businesswoman and provided more anatomically appropriate paws for the capybara.
