My copium is that analog photography makes a come back as a way to recover some level of trust and authenticity.

Conclusions
- OpenAI has always had some of the strongest prompt understanding alongside the weakest image fidelity. This update goes some way towards addressing this weakness.
- It's leagues better at making localized edits without altering the entire image's aesthetic than gpt-image-1, doubling the previous score from 4/12 to 8/12 and the only model that legitimately passed the Giraffe prompt.
- It's one of the most steerable models with a 90% compliance rate
Updates to GenAI Showdown
- Added outtakes sections to each model's detailed report in the Text-to-Image category, showcasing notable failures and unexpected behaviors.
- New models have been added including REVE and Flux.2 Dev (a new locally hostable model).
- Finally got around to implementing a weighted scoring mechanism which considers pass/fail, quality, and compliance for a more holistic model evaluation (click pass/fail icon to toggle between scoring methods).
If you just want to compare gpt-image-1, gpt-image-1.5, and NB Pro at the same time:

we seriously can't be burning GW of energy just to have sama in a GPT-Shirt Ad generated by A.I impressive stuff though - as you can give it a base image + prompt.
I am very impressed a benchmark I like to run is have it create sprite maps, uv texture maps for an imagined 3d model Noticed it captured a megaman legends vibe .... https://x.com/AgentifySH/status/2001037332770615302 and here it generated a texture map from a 3d character https://x.com/AgentifySH/status/2001038516067672390/photo/1 however im not sure if these are true uv maps that is accurate as i dont have the 3d m…
I can tell you with 100% certainty they are not. For example, Crash doesn't have a backside for his torso. You could definitely make a model that uses these as textures, but you'd really have to force it and a lot of it would be stretched or look weird. If you want to go this approach, it would make a lot more sense to make a model, unwrap it, and use the wireframe UV map as input.
Here's the original Crash model: https://models.spriters-resource.com/pc_computer/crashbandic... , its actual texture is nothing like the generated one, because the real one was designed for efficiency.
> Still some scientific inaccuracies, but ~70% correct That's still dangerously bad for the use-case they're proposing. We don't need better looking but completely wrong infographics.
If this was a farm of sweatshop Photoshopers in 2010, who download all images from the internet and provide a service of combining them on your request, this would escalate pretty quickly. Question: with copyright and authorship dead wrt AI, how do I make (at least) new content protected? Anecdotal: I had a hobby of doing photos in quite rare style and lived in a place where you'd get quite a few pictures of. When I…
Air gap. If you don’t want content to be used without your permission, it never leaves your computer. This is the only protection that works.
If you want others to see your content, however, you have to accept some degree of trade off with it being misappropriated. Blatant cases can be addressed the same as they always were, but a model overfitting to your original work poses an interesting question for which I’m not aware of any legal precedents having been set yet.
I have a Nano Banana Pro blog post in the works expanding on my experiments with Nano Banana ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45917875 ). Running a few of my test cases from that post and the upcoming blog post through this new ChatGPT Image model, this new model is better than Nano Banana but MUCH worse than Nano Banana Pro which now nails the test cases that previously showed issues. The pricing is unclear bu…
I've been a filmmaker for 10+ years. I really want more visual tools that let you precisely lay out consistent scenes without prompting. This is important for crafting the keyframes in an image-to-video style workflow, and is especially important for long form narrative content. One thing that gpt-image-1 does exceptionally well that Nano Banana (Pro) can't is previz-to-render . This is actually an incredibly useful…

gpt-image-1 excels in these cases, despite being stylistically monotone.
I hope that Google, OpenAI, and the various Chinese teams lean in on this visual editing and blocking use case. It's much better than text prompting for a lot of workflows, especially if you need to move the camera and maintain a consistent scene.
While some image editing will be in the form of "remove the object"-style prompts, a lot will be molding images like clay. Grabbing arms and legs and moving them into new poses. Picking up objects and replacing them. Rotating scenes around.
When this gets fast, it's going to be magical. We're already getting close.

We are probably entering the post-copyright era. The law will follow sooner or later.
- Gemini/Nano did a pretty average job, only applying some grey to some of the panels. I tried a few different examples and got similar output.
- GPT did a great job and themed the whole app and made it look great. I think I'd still need a designer to finesse some things though.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
my question to your anecdotal: who cares? not being fecicious, but who cares if someone reproduced your stuff and millions of people see your stuff? is the money that you want? is it the fame? because fame you will get, maybe not money... but couldn't there be another way?
Suddenly, copyright doesn't matter anymore when it's no longer useful to the narrative.
