Steering Arena

How it works

You’ll see an image. Your job is to prompt an AI image generation model to get as close to that image as you can.

This might sound really hard. But here's the catch: the image you're trying to reproduce was originally produced by the model itself.

Can you steer better than other people? Play the game and find out.

Why do we care?

AI image generation models can produce really nice images. But how good are they at producing the images we actually want?

The goal of this game is to measure how well people with specific images in mind can guide models to produce those images. We refer to this quality as steerability. Because the goal image is generated by the model itself, our game only measures steerability and not other metrics (e.g. how realistic an image looks).
