new state of the art turing test: drawing a rubik's cube
Raw
cube.md

a rubik's cube looks like this

image of a rubik's cube with arrows showing the various piece types

all the possible moves will change the position of the cubies relative to each other, but none will change which pieces the stickers are attached to. so you always have:

  • 6 centres with 1 sticker each, all 6 with different colours
  • 12 edges with 2 stickers each, each with 2 different adjacent colours (4 edges for each of the 6 colours)
  • 8 corners with 3 stickers each, each with 3 different adjacent colours (4 corners for each of the 6 colours)

now let's ask some ai to draw a cube, with images generation wherever possible or with svg if text only

chatgpt

pretty cube but inaccurate

told it to fix the wrong colours, result is wrong in a different way

wrong again in a new way

claude

complete mess of an svg where faces overlap each other

told it to fix the overlaps at least, which it did, but the result is super weird

deepseek

mess of overlapping faces

the faces now cannot touch each other but these are the most cube-accurate colours i managed to get

grok

weirdly messed up 4x4-ish cube

grok pls that's not even a cube

gemini

got a weirdly broken 4x4

what

perplexity

tells me how to generate one using tools online

forcing it to do the work

disappointing result

mistral

image no worky

that's not a cube

nope

llama

that's almost a gan cube but the colours aren't quite there

again similar issue

I guess kudos to chatgpt for knowing what a cube is at least?
