Sneaker sale ad with a button
The same prompt, sent to every model.
Square Instagram ad for a running shoe sale: a single bright orange running shoe floating mid-air against a solid cobalt blue background, with subtle motion lines behind it. A large bold white sans-serif headline at the top reads "RUN FASTER", and a yellow rounded button at the bottom reads "30% OFF TODAY".
What this tests
- Headline reads exactly "RUN FASTER"
- Button text reads exactly "30% OFF TODAY"
- One coherent shoe (laces, sole and heel make sense)
- Flat, uncluttered ad layout with a clear headline → product → button hierarchy

AI judge: "RUN FASTER" and "30% OFF TODAY" are exact, in bold white sans-serif and a yellow rounded button. One coherent orange shoe with sensible laces, sole and heel floats over cobalt blue with subtle motion lines. Clean headline-product-button hierarchy, though somewhat generic.

AI judge: 'RUN FASTER' and '30% OFF TODAY' are exact, with a clear headline-shoe-button hierarchy on solid cobalt blue with motion lines. The single orange shoe is mostly coherent, but the outsole tread curling over the toe and the partial logo look slightly off.

AI judge: "RUN FASTER" and "30% OFF TODAY" are exact, but the shoe carries extra invented branding text ("SPEED PRO", "FUELFOAM"). The shoe is coherent and crisp, but the background is a gradient rather than solid cobalt, and the motion lines are bold pink streaks rather than subtle. The layout hierarchy is clear.

AI judge: Bold white "RUN FASTER" and a yellow rounded "30% OFF TODAY" button are both exact. One coherent all-orange shoe floats with subtle motion lines on a solid cobalt background. The headline, product and button hierarchy is clean and flat, if a bit generic.
Editor pending · AI 4.8 · $0.060 · 9.7 s
AI judge: Both texts are exact, in bold white sans-serif and on a yellow rounded button, on a solid cobalt background with clean motion lines. The single orange shoe has a coherent sole, heel and laces. The layout is clean but fairly generic.

AI judge: "RUN FASTER" and "30% OFF TODAY" are spelled exactly. The shoe overlaps the headline, which muddies the hierarchy, and the image is soft with a slightly hazy, low-detail look. The shoe itself is coherent with a white midsole, and the motion streak is minimal.
Editor pending · AI 4.3 · $0.150 · 17.8 s
AI judge: "RUN FASTER" and "30% OFF TODAY" are exact, with a clear headline, shoe and button hierarchy on cobalt blue. However, the ad is rendered as a mockup card on a grey surround, and the shoe carries an unrequested brand swoosh. The motion blur reads as smearing rather than motion lines, but the shoe itself is coherent.
Editor pending · AI 4.5 · $0.040 · 45.5 s
AI judge: The headline "RUN FASTER" and button "30% OFF TODAY" are exact, with a clear flat ad hierarchy on cobalt blue. The shoe is coherent but fully monochrome, so the details look a bit plasticky. The heel pull tab is slightly odd.
Editor pending · AI 4.5 · $0.035 · 8.7 s
AI judge: "RUN FASTER" and "30% OFF TODAY" are exact, and the yellow rounded button and cobalt background look polished. The headline is a regular weight rather than the requested bold. The shoe is coherent, with motion streaks, though the transparent sole cushioning looks slightly odd.
Editor pending · AI 4.8 · $0.101 · 84.5 s
AI judge: Bold white "RUN FASTER" and "30% OFF TODAY" on a yellow pill button are both exact, on cobalt blue with subtle motion lines. One coherent orange shoe with a sensible sole, heel and laces sits in a clear hierarchy. The all-orange shoe looks somewhat like a 3D render.
