GPT-5.6 had no problem seeing the text when giving it a video recording of it.

"No problem" as in using temporal analysis with optical flow and vertical-displacement maps to estimate how the image moved, and combine those into a motion map with increased contrast to see the text. I didn't give it any instructions though, just asked it what it said.

For people thinking it detected the decoy text. It did not. It was the text I entered myself. Here are the thinking steps:

  Inspected video metadata, extracted frames, and analyzed content
  Detected and analyzed periodicity in stereogram image data
  Blurred, downsampled, and analyzed image frames
  Computed frame pixel shifts and cross-correlation
  Checked OpenCV installation, optimized and analyzed optical flow processing
  Analyzed motion for text
  Estimated vertical displacement and processed image flow
  Refined text extraction
  Processed optical flow and analyzed image

    Im curious share the link - i cannot reproduce. Gemini 3.5 flash gets it. For those curious on ios you can record your screen using control center

    Edit: interestingly gpt5.6 needed a slightly longer video and got it too

I threw it at Fable with the prompt "What does the message say?" and it also figured out without issue. Thought process is interesting https://imgur.com/a/GToXs6W

Do you have a link to this chat?

    The chat contains the video, which may reveal som meta data about me. But the shared chat also doesn't include any of the images in the thinking steps that my original chat has, where you can see the different maps it generated. Pretty cool seeing it go from noise to patterns to the final image which clearly shows the text as black on white.
