A comparative study evaluated four leading AI models—GPT-5.6, Claude Fable 5, Grok 4.5, and Gemini 3.6 Flash—on their ability to draw the Mona Lisa using a simulated colored-pencil toolset. The experiment involved both reproducing a target image and responding to open-ended prompts, assessing output quality, cost, and tool usage. While all models demonstrated capability in generating images, Claude Fable 5 was noted for taking significantly longer and incurring higher costs for comparatively worse results on this specific task. AI
IMPACT Demonstrates that mainstream LLMs can generate coherent images from text, enabling inline design tasks and faster prototyping within workflows.
