Did they fix the noise gradient?

I hope my local kebab shops switch to this for their signs.

Does multi turn image consistency mean they have solved the yellow tint issue?

Composite party photo...this is going to revolutionize tinder profiles.

The "composite party photo", while impressive, shows that still the miniscule details are being lost, like the teeth structure of the guy in the middle or the fact that the guy on the left is holding the cup with three fingers. Wondering why they chose this edit for the showcase.

Ah. Another 3 months delay for gemini-3.5-pro.

Surprised to see no acknowledgement of how "AI Menu Slop" has become deeply associated with ChatGPT. Everywhere I go now I see places that blatantly used ChatGPT for their menus or posters and they all look the same. It feels almost existential to the service, I know its a bit of survivor bias but so many images you can tell immediately are ChatGPT vs other image providers, and I feel many people are sick of them.

ChatGPT Images is for me the most impresive of all models, but also the one I hate the most, because of what it's used for: either funny wasteful use, or nefarious use, basically nothing else.

Is this even public?

Omg, I love how the first examples just show how easy you can fake things. Fake being at a party with your friends. Didn't make your bed, no problem, just fake it. The sad part is my mother would love "remixing" my old child photos of me.

Do all Silicon Valley corporations use the same jingle for their product promotional videos? The creator must be really rich by now.

Still can't make sprite sheets :(

Where is Dall-e?

Great idea, get an AI art tattoo so you can always be reminded how AI art looked in 2026.

the clothing examples are super odd because its not actually useable. the clothes will not look like that on you, it just fits them to your body.

A big wtf at the LM Arena scores: https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-image gpt-image-2.5-sunburst: 1421 gpt-image-2.5-flare: 1399 gpt-image-2 (medium): 1381 mai-image-2.6: 1331 Even with LM Arena being flawed, this is significant. I was planning to do a writeup on the original gpt-image-2 as it crushed every complex image comprehension benchmark I had...I'm glad I procrastinated since ChatGPT Images 2.5 seems like an even better starting point to test out what these models can actually do nowadays. Many people still think AI images output the wrong number of fingers on a regular basis. (EDIT: this was an ironic comment to make in hindsight and I own it)

The AI tattoo. Hope you don’t have any ragrets.

vgalin

The introductory video is a bit... daring. Generating tattoos that clearly look AI-generated is not one of the use-cases I'd try to sell.

feels this something backhanded
