Copy-ready prompt
A photorealistic and humorous academic presentation scene takes place in a conference room: an anthropomorphic otter scientist stands on the left side of the frame, dressed in a crisp white lab coat, holding a slender pointer stick and pointing to a large presentation project on an easel. The otter stands upright like a human, possessing realistic brown fur, dark paws, and a professional posture. A name tag reading "Dr. Otter" is sewn onto the lab coat, with "Aquatic Systems Lab" in smaller print below, and two pens are tucked into its breast pocket. The otter's face is partially obscured by a blurred square block. Behind the otter is a whiteboard with blurred handwritten notes and doodles, including "WiFi > Fish," "H2O," "Hydration," a sketch of a fish, and a WiFi symbol. The focal point is a large, clear presentation slide with sharp, legible text and a sophisticated corporate academic layout. At the top is a bold title that reads, "..."{argument name="headline text" default="Ethan Mollick's Otter Test"} The subtitle below reads "Prompt: \"{argument name="prompt text" default="An otter sat in an airplane seat, using the in-flight Wi-Fi on its laptop."} Below is a boxed area titled "AI-Generated Image Samples," containing four side-by-side sample images showing realistic otters sitting in airplane seats using laptops or tablets. Each image is framed like a model output, with one displaying a large WiFi symbol above the seat. Below the images is a section labeled "Performance Results (via = Otter, Airplane Seat, In-flight WiFi, Laptop/Tablet)," containing five score boxes: "DALL·E 3" with no visible numerical score, "GPT-4o" with "4/4" and "100%", "Midjourney v6" with "3/4" and "75%", "Stable Diffusion XL" with "2/4" and "50%", and "SD 1.5" with "0/4" and "0%". On the right is a prominent highlighted box labeled "Average Score" and "{argument name="average score" default="70%"} The text is in large blue font. At the bottom of the slides is a "Key Findings" box containing three key points: "The modern model's understanding of complex, specific cues is astonishing.", "Otter + Airplane + WiFi = A Reliable Benchmark.", and "Further research is absolutely necessary." A simple cartoon otter doodle appears in the lower right corner of the slides. The room is warmly lit, with wood paneling on the walls, a shallow depth of field, and several blurry audience members in the foreground, including a laptop at the edge displaying an image of an otter, and a glass water jug on the table. Style: Hyperrealistic editorial photography, cold-blooded scientific satire, believable conference presentation, high detail, natural indoor lighting, professional lens compression, easy-to-read slide layout, sophisticated yet absurd.
