Earlier quoted context omitted.

I tested it with two prompts: // In this one, Gemini doesn't understand what "cinematic" is "A cinematic underwater shot of a turtle gracefully swimming in crystal-clear water [...]" // In this one, the reflection in the water in the background has different buildings "A modern city where raindrops fall upward into the clouds instead of down, pedestrians calmly walking [...]" Midjourney created both perfectly.

As others have said, this is an image editing model. Editing models do not excel at aesthetic, but they can take your Midjourney image, adjust the composition, and make it perfect. These types of models are the Adobe killer.

Noted that! The editing capabilities are impressive. I was excited for image gen because of the API (Midjourney doesn't have it yet).

I naively went onto Gemini in order to try to use the new model and had what I could only describe as the worst conversation I've had with an AI since GPT 3.5[1]. Is this really the model that's on top of the leaderboard right now? This feels about 500 ELO points worse than my typical conversation with GPT 5. Edit: OK, OK, I actually got it to work, and yes, I admit the results are incredible[2]. I honestly have no i…

Are you doing roleplay?

What?

In EU they forbid us newspapers from non-approved countries, impose cookies banners everywhere, and now block porn. Soon they will forbid some AI models which have not passed EU censorship ("safety") validation. Because we all know that governments (or even Google with Android) are better at knowing what is the safest for you. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/eu-rules-gener...

How do you do, fellow europeans?

This is technically impressive though I really wish they'd choose other professions to automate than graphic design.

AI is supposed to set us all free. Yet, so far all the tech companies have done is eliminate the jobs of the lowest-paid people (artists, writers, photographers, designers) and transfer that money to billionaires. Yay.

“Internal server error Sorry, there seems to be an error. Please try again soon.” Never thought I would ever see this on a google owned websites!

Really? Google used to be famous not only for its errors, but for its creative error pages. I used to have a google.com bookmark that would send an animated 418.

Still fails the “full glass of wine” test, and still shows many of the artifacts typical of AI generated images like non-nonsensical text, misplacement of objects, etc.

To be honest I am kind of glad. As AI generated images proliferate, I am hoping it will be easier for humans to call them out as AI.

I digitised our family photos but a lot of them were damaged (shifted colours, spills, fingerprints on film, spots) that are difficult to correct for so many images. I've been waiting for image gen to catch up enough to be able to repair them all in bulk without changing details, especially faces. This looks very good at restoring images without altering details or adding them where they are missing, so it might fina…

Do you happen to know some software to repair/improve video files? I'm in the process of digitalizing a couple of Video 2000 and VHS casettes of childhood memories of my mom who start suffering from dementia. I have a pretty streamlined setup for digitalizing the videos but I'd like to improve the quality a bit.

I've used products from topazlabs.com for the same problem and have generally been happy with them.
