I decided to use this recipe to compare AI image creation. These are, in order:

😞I feel like the Copilot and ChatGPT ones were the least realistic.

🎯And as is often the case, the one from Aria stood out as one of the best.

🪄The image creation prompt was created by Claude AI (which does not itself make images) based on recipe information I gave it, including name, ingredients, directions, the "blurb" that tells about the recipe, and any comments that are in Uncle Dave Says... It has basic standing instructions** in its project file for what to do when I ask it to write an image creation prompt for me.

✏️This is the prompt it created:

"Please create an image of a steaming bowl of creamy turkey-veggie soup. The soup should have a rich, velvety texture with visible chunks of roasted turkey meat, orange sweet potatoes, green zucchini and broccoli florets. The soup should be served in an elegant, white ceramic bowl on a rustic wooden table with a cloth napkin and silver spoon nearby. Include a small basket of crusty artisan bread in the background. The lighting should be warm and inviting, suggesting comfort food on a cool day. The image should have a shallow depth of field with the bowl in sharp focus, styled like professional food photography with natural-looking steam rising from the soup. The colors should be vibrant yet warm, showcasing the fresh vegetables and creamy broth."

** The standing instructions Claude has for creating images: 

'When I provide you with the recipe information, create a prompt that will allow image creating AIs to create an enticing and professional looking image of the resulting dish.
Make your prompts less than 1024 characters whenever possible.
I may include additional instructions, which will appear inside [...] at the top of the text.
