Well, that's cheating :) You asked it to generate code, which is ok because it does not represent a direct generated image of a clock.

Can grok generate images? What would the result be?

I will try your prompt on chatgpt and gemini

Gemini failed miserably - a standard 12 hours clock

Same for chatgpt

And perplexity replaced 12 with 13

> Please create a highly unusual 13-hour analog clock widget, synchronized to system time, with fully animated hands that move in real time, and not 12 but 13 hour markings - each will be spaced at not 5-minute intervals, but at 4-minute-37-second intervals. This makes room for all 13 hour markings. Please pay attention to the correct alignment of the 13 numbers and the 13 hour marks, as well as the alignment of the hands on the face.

This gave me a correct clock face on Gemini- after the model spent a lot of time thinking (and kind of thrashing in a loop for a while). The functionality isn't quite right, not that it entirely makes sense in the first place, but the face - at least in terms of the hour marks - looks OK to me.[0]
