I'm having a hard time believing this site is honest, especially with how ridiculous the scaling and rotation of numbers is for most of them. I dumped his prompt into chatgpt to try it myself and it did create a very neat clock face with the numbers at the correct position+animated second hand, it just got the exact time wrong, being a few hours off. Edit: the time may actually have been perfect now that I account for my isp's geo-located time zone

i read that the OP limited the output to 2000 tokens.

  ^ this! there's a lot of clocks to generate so I've challenged it to stick to a small(er) amount of code

    I wonder if you would get better results if you tell the LLM there's a token limit in the prompt. something like "You only have 1000 tokens. Generate an analog clock showing ${time}, with a CSS animated second hand. Make it responsive and use a white background. Return ONLY the HTML/CSS code with no markdown formatting"

  I got a ~1600 character reply from gpt, including spaces and it worked first shot dumping into an html doc. I think that probably fits ok in the limit? (If I missed something obvious feel free to tell me I'm an idiot)

    On the second minute I had the AI World Clocks site open the GPT-5 generated version displayed a perfect clock. Its clock before and every clock from it since has had very apparent issues though. If you could get a perfect clock several times for the identical prompt in fresh contexts with the same model then it'd be a better comparison. Potentially the ChatGPT site you're using though is doing some adjustments that the API fed version isn't.

On the contrary, in my experience this is very typical of the average failure mode / output of early 2025 LLMs for HTML of SVG.
