Where the models split.
Across the 1 category Ideogram and Midjourney both appear in, the models never break ranks: in each one, the same brand leads on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity alike.
No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks Midjourney ahead at least as often as not, with Gemini the most lopsided.
