the guys presenting are probably all like 25x smarter than I am but good god, literally 0 on screen presence or personality.

That's a trained skill, and they presumably have focused on other skills.

Wow, the difference between AI and non-AI images collapses. I hate the future where I won't be able to tell the difference.

I wake up everyday, read the tech news, and usually see some step change in AI or whatever. It's wild to think I'm living through such a massive transformation in my lifetime. The future of tech is going to be so different from when I was born (1980), I guess this is how people born in 1900 felt when they got to see man land on the moon?

Image generation is now pretty much "solved". Video will be next. Perhaps things will turn out the same as chess: in that even though chess was "solved" by IBM's Deep Blue, we still value humans playing chess. We value "hand made" items (clothes, furniture) over the factory made stuff. We appreciate & value human effort more than machines. Do you prefer a hand-written birthday card or an email?

do they have anything similar to SynthID, or are they just pretending that problem doesn't exist? I know this is probably mega cherry-picked to look more impressive, but some of the images are terrifyingly realistic. They seem to have put a lot of effort into the lighting.

No mention of modifying existing images, which is more important than anything they mentioned.

I think we all know the feeling of getting an image that is ok, but needs a few modifications, and being absolutely unable to get the changes made.

It either keeps coming up with the same image, or gives you a completely new take on the image with fresh problems.

Anyone know if modification of existing images is any better?

Anything better that OpenAI?

I've been trying out the new model like this: OPENAI_API_KEY="$(llm keys get openai)" \ uv run https://tools.simonwillison.net/python/openai_image.py \ -m gpt-image-2 \ "Do a where's Waldo style image but it's where is the raccoon holding a ham radio" Code here: https://github.com/simonw/tools/blob/main/python/openai_imag... Here's what I got from that prompt. I do not think it included a raccoon holding a ham radio…

I just got a much better version using this command instead, which uses the maximum image size according to https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples... OPENAI_API_KEY="$(llm keys get openai)" \ uv run 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonw/tools/refs/heads/main/python/openai_image.py' \ -m gpt-image-2 \ "Do a where's Waldo style image but it's where is the raccoon holding a ham radio" \ --quali…

The people in this image remind me of early this person does not exist, in the best way

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I tried > please add a giant red arrow to a red circle around the raccoon holding a ham radio or add a cross through the entire image if one does not exist and got this. I'm not sure I know what a ham radio looks like though. https://i.ritzastatic.com/static/ffef1a8e639bc85b71b692c3ba1...

Also, the racoon it circled isn't in the original.

I love how perfectly this captures the difficulties of using generative AI for detection tasks.

There was an Edit button in one of the images in the livestream

Every time a new image gen comes out I keep saying that it won't get better just to be surprised again and again. Some of the examples are incredible (and incredibly scary. I feel like this is truly the point where understanding if something is AI becomes impossible)

So do you think there will be a better image model in a year?

eh, i don't think personalities are trained. on screen presence for sure, but you'd see right through it IRL.
