AI Super Simplified – Thanksgiving Image Edition
How Four Free AI Models Reimagine the Warmest Holiday of the Year
Why This Matters
Thanksgiving is one of the richest visual settings you can give an AI: warm light, real emotion, reflective surfaces, family expressions, and subtle details that define connection. Ask four different AI models to interpret the same scene, and you’ll quickly see how each one “thinks.”
Some models lean cinematic.
Some lean nostalgic.
Some push detail and clarity.
Some take creative risks.
This issue shows how differently modern AI understands atmosphere, storytelling, and memory — all through a single shared prompt. It’s simple to run, visually striking, and one of the easiest ways to understand where AI imagery is right now.
The Four Models
These are four of the strongest and most accessible free AI image generators available today. Each brings its own visual voice.
ChatGPT (OpenAI)
https://chat.openai.comGemini (Google DeepMind)
https://gemini.google.comPerplexity (Perplexity AI)
https://www.perplexity.aiLeonardo AI (Leonardo.ai)
https://leonardo.ai
Together, they deliver the widest range of styles: cinematic realism, expressive color, grounded detail, and artistic creativity.
The Thanksgiving Image Prompt
Use this exact prompt in all four systems:
Create a hyper-realistic, cinematic image of a modern Thanksgiving dinner in the near future. Show warm, golden lighting; subtle holographic decor; floating recipe cards; and a family raising their glasses in a heartfelt toast. Style direction: "Apple holiday commercial meets Norman Rockwell." Clean, elegant, emotional, and inspiring.
The Results
ChatGPT

Gemini

Perplexity

Leonardo AI

Bonus: The Creative Director’s Cut
After gathering all four images, refine them into one polished, “editor’s choice” concept using this follow-up prompt inside ChatGPT:
Blend the strongest creative elements from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Leonardo AI into one refined Thanksgiving image. Maintain cinematic lighting, emotional warmth, and subtle futuristic elements. Describe the final composite image, then generate it.
This produces a single master image shaped by the best qualities each model brought to the table.
Gemini:
The final composite image brings together the best aspects of each AI's interpretation. We'll retain the warm, golden cinematic lighting and heartfelt emotion. The subtle holographic elements will be more integrated, perhaps with glowing recipe cards and autumnal leaves that seem to shimmer and drift, enhancing the sense of a technologically advanced yet cozy atmosphere. The family will be actively engaged in a toast, their expressions radiating genuine happiness, with a focus on their connection. We'll aim for a blend of the sleek, modern aesthetic with the timeless, inviting feeling of a classic holiday.

Perplexity: Analysis of the Four Images
After examining all four versions, here are the strongest creative elements from each:
ChatGPT version: Beautiful warm golden lighting with a pendant lamp, subtle holographic leaves and a recipe card in the background, intimate family moment with natural expressions, and a perfectly balanced color palette of warm browns and cool teals.
Perplexity version: Striking holographic recipe cards floating prominently ("Roasted Turkey with Sage Butter" and "Cinnamon Glazed Sweet Potatoes"), a dynamic holographic turkey centerpiece with concentric rings above it, and excellent depth of field with a bright, airy background.
Leonardo version: Classic, timeless elegance with traditional chandelier lighting, sophisticated warm tones throughout, beautiful symmetrical composition showing the full table from the head position, and a more formal, refined atmosphere reminiscent of Norman Rockwell.
Gemini version: Modern minimalist aesthetic with clean lines, floating recipe cards with multiple dishes displayed, holographic autumn leaves scattered throughout, panoramic window view adding aspirational lifestyle context, and balanced futuristic elements that don't overwhelm.
The Ideal Composite
The perfect blend would combine:
Lighting: ChatGPT's warm golden pendant lighting + Leonardo's soft ambient glow
Holographic elements: Perplexity's prominent floating recipe cards + Gemini's scattered autumn leaves + subtle concentric rings
Composition: Intimate family toast moment (ChatGPT/Perplexity angle) with visible emotional connection
Color palette: Warm golden hour tones with subtle cool blue/teal holographic accents
Atmosphere: Apple commercial polish meets Norman Rockwell emotional warmth
Details: Modern sleek table setting with traditional feast, clear readable recipe cards, multi-generational family

The Final Composite Description (Based on Your Four Actual Images)
Here is the true, editorially unified visual, pulled directly from the strengths of the images you shared:
A modern Thanksgiving table glows with warm golden light, the kind that feels both cinematic and intimate. The scene blends the natural warmth of traditional family gatherings with a refined, near-future aesthetic. From ChatGPT’s version comes the rich amber lighting and authentic emotional expressions of a multigenerational family leaning in for a heartfelt toast. Gemini contributes sleek architecture, a soft sunset skyline, and floating holographic recipe cards drifting gently above the table like illuminated autumn leaves. Perplexity adds the texture — crisp reflections in the glassware, the gleam of polished wood, and the subtle realism in the food and table settings that anchor the image in authenticity. Leonardo brings its characteristic creative accent: soft bloom lighting, vibrant color separation, and a warm, inviting palette that lifts the entire composition.
The final shot shows a diverse group gathered around a perfectly set table: roasted turkey, vegetables, and glowing holographic callouts hovering just above the dishes. Their glasses meet in the center of the frame, catching the soft highlight of the overhead pendant lights. Futuristic overlays blend seamlessly with the nostalgic glow of a classic Thanksgiving home — a Norman Rockwell warmth reimagined through the lens of near-future design. The atmosphere is elegant, emotional, and subtly tech-infused, without losing the human connection at the heart of the moment.

Wrap-Up
A single shared prompt can reveal more about modern AI than pages of explanation. Thanksgiving imagery forces each model to make creative decisions — how warm the lighting should feel, how human the expressions appear, how much futurism belongs in a familiar moment. When you compare the outputs side by side, the differences are immediate.
ChatGPT delivers a cinematic, polished, commercial-ready look.
Gemini leans into soft color, expressive warmth, and emotional tone.
Perplexity prioritizes clarity, grounded realism, and detailed accuracy.
Leonardo brings rich texture, creative styling, and artistic character.
It’s an experiment that takes only minutes to run and gives you a sharper understanding of what today’s leading AI image models can do. The results are easy to compare, visually striking, and worth sharing.
