Unlike Nano Banana it allows generating photos of children. Always fun to ask AI to imagine children of a couple but it's also kinda concerning that there might be terrible use cases.

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

My pet theory is that OpenAI screwed up the image normalization calculation and was stuck with the mistake since that's something that can't be worked around. At the least, it's not present in these new images.

There's still something off in the grading, and I suspect they worked around it

(although I get what you mean, not easily since you already trained)

I'm guessing when they get a clean slate we'll have Image 2 instead of 1.5. In LMArena it was immediately apparent it was an OpenAI model based on visuals.

I still use Midjourney, because all of these major players are so bad at stylistic and creative work. They're singularly focused on photorealism.

This is surprising. Is there a gallery of images that illustrates this?

Midjourney has a gallery on their website: https://www.midjourney.com/explore

I was able to generate photos of my imagined children via Nano Banana

Not really, but there's a number of theories. The simplest one is that they "style tuned" the AI on human preference data, and this introduced a subtle bias for yellow.

And I say "subtle" - but because that model would always "regenerate" an image when editing, it would introduce more and more of this yellow tint with each tweak or edit. Which has a way of making a "subtle" bias anything but.

their explore page is a firehose of examples created by users and you can see the prompt used so you can compare the results in other services https://www.midjourney.com/explore?tab=video_top

There was also the theory that is was because they scanned a bunch of actual real books and book paper has a slight yellow hue.
