A couple of weeks ago, I shared an article titled, Sunrise or Sunset? Thoughts on AI, Creativity and Why We're Often Wrong. In it, I highlighted a conversation I had:
At one of our Compassion Gallery events, I had an interesting exchange that’s stuck with me.
Someone walked by our booth, glanced at a wall filled with sunrise and sunset prints, and confidently stated, “I can always tell the difference between a sunrise and a sunset.”
I smiled. “Want to test that theory?”
We went photo by photo. One by one. “Sunrise or sunset?”
When we were done going through the photos, they scored about 25%. You could have flipped a coin and done better.
As a fun exercise, we thought you might enjoy giving this a try. And if you get 18 or more right on your first try — we're using the honor system here — we'll enter you into a draw to win a free $50 Amazon gift card.
Below, you’ll find a series of 20 photos I’ve taken over the years (which are also available on Compassion Gallery). Your job is to determine whether they are photos of a sunrise or a sunset. Write your answers down on a piece of paper, and then at the end, I’ll tell you the answers.
