TL;DR — A few weeks ago I tested four AI tools on a build job: a website for my son's cricket academy. This time the job had nothing to do with code. The coach just wanted a banner he could post. Same four tools, totally different result. ChatGPT made the best image, Grok made the best video, Gemini wouldn't make anything, and Claude tried to solve a graphics problem by writing HTML. If you read the last post , you've met my son's cricket coach. He runs MMCA — Maverick Master's Cricket Academy. Started in 2020, based in Bengaluru, genuinely good with the kids. The website is live now and parents have started messaging him on WhatsApp. So last weekend he came back with the next thing he needed, which is the thing every small academy actually runs on: "Can you make me a weekend batch banner? Something I can post in the parent groups." Now, this is a completely different job from the last one. That first experiment was design and development — agents writing real code, running tests, deploying to Cloudflare. This one is just graphics. No repo, no deploy, nobody reviewing a pull request. Just: here's my logo, here's a sample I like, make me something I'd be happy to send out. So I figured I'd run the same four tools again and see what happened. Same brief, same logo, everything on the default model with no special settings : ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok. Here's roughly what I typed, the way a normal client would brief you: Similar to this banner, make one for MMCA Academy (since 2020, logo attached). Weekend batch Sat 4:30—7, Sun 7—9:30pm. Add a small phrase like the sample. Be creative, keep it simple, but don't copy the sample exactly. The whole test really came down to one instruction: be creative, but don't copy. Whatever each tool did with that told me everything. Round 1: the static banner ChatGPT got it on the first go. "WEEKEND BATCH. TRAIN. PLAY. GROW."
