AI Fails To Render Accurate Analog Clocks

Researchers and projects testing image-generation models find models produce correct analog clocks less than one in four times, often confusing hour and minute hands or defaulting to 10:10. Tests and a public project by Brian Moore show numbers misplaced, phantom hands, and non-physical configurations. The results illustrate models copy visual patterns without temporal or geometric world models, prompting rule-based or math-guided fixes for practitioners.
