“Generative image models are capable of creating cool-looking images that can replace generic images that you might use in a project, but no matter how many different prompts you use, they all kind of look the same, and that's even before you notice how the minute details look off.”
Our reading:
Generative image models can create cool-looking images that can replace generic project images, but however many prompts you use they all kind of look the same, and their minute details look off.

Why
HEIM evaluated 26 models available as of July 2023 across separate dimensions, including aesthetics, originality and image quality [e1]. It found that different models had different strengths [e1]. These results do not supply a shared test for images that “all kind of look the same” or details that “look off” [e1]. Applying the benchmark to that combined judgment would require added definitions of visual sameness and acceptable defects [e1]. The statement is therefore not adjudicable as written.
Caveats
- The benchmark neither establishes nor refutes the combined judgment about usefulness, visual sameness and detail quality.
- The statement does not specify the models, the meaning of visual sameness, or the frequency and severity of unacceptable detail defects.
- Different subjects or styles alone would not refute a judgment about a recognizable shared aesthetic.

How we judged it
- Kind of claim
- Observation
- Deadline
- None given. We don’t add one.
Where we had to interpret
- The statement combines practical usefulness, aesthetic similarity, and visual defects.
- All kind of look the same can mean limited stylistic range or a recognizable visual character despite different subjects and styles. These are materially different propositions.
- Cool-looking, generic, and look off supply no shared standard for judging the combined statement. Treating it as literal pixel or subject similarity would unfairly strengthen the wording.
- Contemporaneous benchmarks can inform particular components, but do not provide a faithful binary test of the statement as a whole.
