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?

As a professional cinematographer/photographer I am incredibly uncomfortable with people using my art without my permission for unknown ends. Doubly so when it’s venture backed private companies stealing from millions of people like me as they make vague promises about the capabilities of their software trained on my work. It doesn’t take much to understand why that makes me uncomfortable and why I feel I am entitled…

The day after I first heard about the Internet, back in 1990-whatever, it occurred to me that I probably shouldn't upload anything to the Internet that I didn't want to see on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper.

Apart from the 'newspaper' anachronism, that's pretty much still my take.

Sorry, but you'll just have to deal with it and get over it.

Was it ever explained or understood why ChatGPT Images always has (had?) that yellow cast?

Not always, it started at a very specific point. Studio Ghibli craze + reinforcement learning on the likes.

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…

Using references is a standard industry practice for digital art and VFX. The main difference is that you are unable to accidentally copy a reference too close, while with AI it’s possible.

I'll be running gpt-image-1.5 through my GenAI Showdown later today, but in the meantime if you want to see some legitimately impressive NB Pro outputs, check out: https://mordenstar.com/blog/edits-with-nanobanana In particular, NB Pro successfully assembled a jigsaw puzzle it had never seen before, generated semi-accurate 3D topographical extrapolations, and even swapped a window out for a mirror.

The mirror test is cool!

Subtle detail but the little table casts a shadow because of the light in the window and the shadow remains unchanged after the mirror replaces the window.

Is there a watermarking, or some other way for normal people to tell if its fake?

I ran exiftool on an image I just generated:

Even from their own curated examples, this looks quite a bit worse than nano banan in terms of preserving consistency on image edits.

Nano Banana became useless for image edits once the safety training started rejecting anything as “I can’t edit some public figures.”

My own profile picture? Can’t edit some public figures. A famous Norman Rockwell painting from 80 years ago? Can’t edit some public figures.

Safety’d into oblivion.

I didn't have a good experience with NB. I am half Indian. Immediately changes my face to a prototypical Indian man every time I use it. This tool is keeping my look the same.

I find including "don't change anything else" in the NBP prompt goes a long way.

I tried all of those types of prompts

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…

Love the samples of the app you are making, will be testing it!

Okay results are in for GenAI Showdown with the new gpt-image 1.5 model for the editing portions of the site! https://genai-showdown.specr.net/image-editing 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 ae…

I really love everything you're doing!

Personal request: could you also advocate for "image previz rendering", which I feel is an extremely compelling use case for these companies to develop. Basically any 2d/3d compositor that allows you to visually block out a scene, then rely on the model to precisely position the set, set pieces, and character poses.

If we got this task onto benchmarks, the companies would absolutely start training their models to perform well at it.

Here are some examples:

gpt-image-1 absolutely excels at this, though you don't have much control over the style and aesthetic:

Nano Banana (Pro) fails at this task:

Flux Kontext, Qwen, etc. have mixed results.

I'm going to re-run these under gpt-image-1.5 and report back.

Edit:

gpt-image-1.5 :

And just as I finish this, Imgur deletes my original gpt-image-1 post.

Hopefully imgur doesn't break these. I'll have to start blogging and keep these somewhere I control.
