ChatGPT Images 2.5
- Kloopvram 17d agoDon't tap the aquarium glass man
- YCIsntCool 17d agoGood, keep going. text-to-text is a solved problem.
- mudkipdev 18d agoDid they fix the noise gradient?
- wrcwill 18d agodoesn't look like it, looking at the motocross photo (0:19 in the "Structure your prompts for better results" video)
- mattbettinson 18d agoI hope my local kebab shops switch to this for their signs.
- coffeebeqn 18d agoI see a lot of the slop posters in real life now and I hate them
- arrowleaf 18d agoI still don't know if I hate them because they are visually slop, or that the businesses farmed out sign creation to the slop machine
- rexskimmer 18d agoAll of the above for me.
- infecto 18d agoI love them because while not perfect it’s a good way to filter out businesses that don’t have good taste.
- tyjen 18d agoI think every restaurant on Uber Eats in my area uses AI slop or, minimally, AI "enhanced" food pictures.
- Insanity 18d agoProbably some other type of ads '[..] in your area' will use this as well.
- nxc18 17d agoI see a ton of AI generated images and descriptions on DoorDash. I get the sense the restaurant is not doing it themselves, I’m not sure if they have any control over disabling it or perhaps they are opting in.
- Betelbuddy 18d agoIf they wanna loose customers...
- yoz-y 18d agoIt would be an improvement, probably, because they are still using Dall.e 1 apparently.
- steve_adams_86 18d agoNot OP but my guess is that they're already using bad AI images for their kebab business, and OP wants them to use better AI for their images (so they may actually lose fewer customers because the AI imagery isn't so awful)
- dude250711 17d agoThe normier the user the crazier the pics.
- bko 18d agoWhy do you care what your kebab shop uses for their menus? These people are trying to run a business. If this can allow them to clearly communicate prices in a well designed pleasant way, it's great. Why must they slave away in design and technology or pay someone to do it for them? I think it's great
- Betelbuddy 18d agoI care, the same way I wont read your blog, if you use AI photos. Same mechanism.
- ks2048 18d agoIf I eat at a restaurant and that restaurant has images of their food, I want those to be “real images” of what they will bring me when I pay. Otherwise it’s misleading.
- 17d ago
- throwaway613746 18d ago[dead]
- sanid 18d agoI can't disagree more. A lot of shops in our city have done this and I actually miss the shitty photoshopped images that did not even look like the real life dish anyway. AI signs are way worse.
- embedding-shape 18d agoI thought that was parents point, that currently they're using so shitty AI generated logos, that even if we despise that as a concept, at least better models output slightly less sloppy shit. But re-reading it, I'm not sure that was the right initial reading.
- visarga 18d agoI am wondering if in 2-3 years AI will be heads and shoulders above us in both images and text. Then will we continue to see the slop accusations? Maybe its slop is better than most of our work.
- lambdas 18d ago“Stop calling it slop you guys, I’ll have you know I am even sloppier”
- magicalist 17d ago> Then will we continue to see the slop accusations? If it doesn't look like the food you're about to purchase, yes? Why is this even a question in this context.
- WarmWash 17d ago"Here is a picture of the dish, make it look nicer and use that as a reference"
- strangecasts 17d ago"Users will voluntarily prompt better to avoid misleading people" will be the "people can simply write memory safe C" of the late 2020s
- icedrift 18d agoThis is hilarious and it's killing me people are taking it literally
- Macuyiko 18d agoSarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but...
- emsign 18d agoIf it was only the small shops doing it... companies that could easily hire ad designers use AI slop images full of errors.
- 100percentjake 17d agoOne of my locally owned fried rice places doodled a simple pencil cartoon of them cooking fried rice to satisfy their evil landlord and it has cascaded into a series of mildly unhinged pencil cartoon doodles every few days on Facebook. It is an incredibly refreshing break from the local food/eats FB groups being utterly flooded with identical looking slop posters and has earned my business several times. Also it's just... incredibly in-touch marketing in general.
- mattbettinson 17d agoAbsolutely. I hope with all these Ai generated images it will only raise the value of human creativity/output
- charcircuit 18d agoDoes multi turn image consistency mean they have solved the yellow tint issue?
- gottagocode 18d agoComposite party photo...this is going to revolutionize tinder profiles.
- Jonovono 18d agoWill be updating my dating app photo generator asap: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pull-ai-dating-app-photos/id6757320039 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pull-ai-dating-app-photos/id67...
- pelzatessa 18d agoThe "composite party photo", while impressive, shows that still the miniscule details are being lost, like the teeth structure of the guy in the middle or the fact that the guy on the left is holding the cup with three fingers. Wondering why they chose this edit for the showcase.
- nzach 18d agoAnd don't forget the 'Thing' from Addams Family in the shoulder of the guy on the left.
- pllbnk 18d agoThe guy on the left in that same photo only has three fingers (and a thumb, I suppose). I thought image generation has already outlived that. Edit: I feel stupid I didn't see the original OP already mentioning three finger issue. I'll just leave it here.
- headz 18d ago> Wondering why they chose this edit for the showcase. They probably didn't care to check those images in detail.
- polytely 18d agoI'm guessing if you work on these images the whole day you start to lose the ability to judge image quality. like your brain becomes slopified
- vunderba 18d agoThe OpenAI PR/doc team seem to have a history of this kind of attention lapse - their 4-panel comic strip using gpt-image-2 was an absolute mess too. https://mordenstar.com/blog/gen-failures https://mordenstar.com/blog/gen-failures
- Caracas288 17d agoAnother example was the doc for GPT-5, which had all its graphs messed up, but they said it was human error rather than AI.
- clement_b 18d agoAh. Another 3 months delay for gemini-3.5-pro.
- bearjaws 18d agoSurprised to see no acknowledgement of how "AI Menu Slop" has become deeply associated with ChatGPT. Everywhere I go now I see places that blatantly used ChatGPT for their menus or posters and they all look the same. It feels almost existential to the service, I know its a bit of survivor bias but so many images you can tell immediately are ChatGPT vs other image providers, and I feel many people are sick of them.
- mickeyp 18d agoIt's not like a lot of these small-time outfits used their own photography to begin with. They'd pick a kebab from a menu of professionally made kebab pictures the printer has in stock. Or worse, they'd take pics of their own plated food with a dead-centre point flash in a dark cupboard or something and you end up with awful-looking food, no matter how good.
- core_dumped 18d agoIt's still more honest than generating virtual kebab.
- infecto 18d agoIs it though? I don’t find using stock art to be any better myself.
- breezybottom 18d agoStock art food doesn't usually look unappetizing and bizarre.
- infecto 18d agoSounds like a great self-selection problem.
- shagie 18d agoI'm not sure if I'm working with ChatGPT Images 2.5 or 2.0 here... The original photo I took was at https://www.reddit.com/r/Tovala/comments/1pfuwrb/meatloaf_paradise_by_the_heatingelement_light/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Tovala/comments/1pfuwrb/meatloaf_pa... - it's a cheeseburger meatloaf with potato wedges taken with a phone camera. And I was going for a consistent documentation approach for the photograph, not trying for menu proper. https://chatgpt.com/share/6aa05d33-3e6c-83ea-9e32-f1371c1ad663 https://chatgpt.com/share/6aa05d33-3e6c-83ea-9e32-f1371c1ad6... ( https://imgur.com/a/fPB5VKP https://imgur.com/a/fPB5VKP for just the image) I suspect that someone doing a menu could take a properly plated meal from the kitchen (rather than me photographing on top of my oven) and have it get redone for a good image for a menu without fundamentally changing what is being served.
- iLoveOncall 18d agoChatGPT Images is for me the most impresive of all models, but also the one I hate the most, because of what it's used for: either funny wasteful use, or nefarious use, basically nothing else.
- leokennis 18d agoJust like WordPerfect enabled your mom to create a professional-enough cover letter, ChatGPT allows your mom to send you a more or less visually pleasing virtual birthday card of you wearing a party hat.
- _pdp_ 18d agoIs this even public?
- AyanamiKaine 18d agoOmg, I love how the first examples just show how easy you can fake things. Fake being at a party with your friends. Didn't make your bed, no problem, just fake it. The sad part is my mother would love "remixing" my old child photos of me.
- echelon 18d agoThis is an artificial modern world problem. For thousands of years people have told embellished stories, and humanity has thrived upon it. Tall tales, fish stories. Heck, that's still the average person's experience unless they've really worked their critical thinking muscles. Today's working adults are used to the short thirty-year "safe space" of smartphones and internet. We grew up in a temporary meta stability where "truth" was "recorded" and could be "relied upon", and now that the fundamentals are shifting, we're complaining that the physical world is amenable to storytelling and imagination once again. Cry me a river. This is awesome and is a direct consequence of everything I ever wanted the future to be: magical creative superpowers. I wanted to graduate into the world that is emerging now rather than spend the first third of my career in incrementalism and slow progress. 2008 - 2020 sucked. What a total lull. AI is healing these things and putting us back on track for the jet pack future we grew up dreaming about. It's taking us back to a creative world without shitty platforms controlling what we say and do, and without a ceiling on what we can accomplish. It feels like every day we're unwrapping a new present or several. Not small things, but reality-shattering things that fill me with inspiration to build and explore. It's so much fun.
- wetpaws 18d ago[dead]
- conradludgate 18d ago[flagged]
- Black616Angel 18d agoReading the comments here is worse.
- Citizen_Lame 17d agoIt's like I am on Reddit or Facebook.
- ryan_n 17d agoWhy? Because you disagree with them? Would you rather it be an echo chamber?
- rs_rs_rs_rs_rs 18d agoHaving a lot of fun with my son using an image of him and dressing him in all kinds of costumes. How is that depressing to you?
- davidweatherall 18d agoDidn't you hear? you must hire a real artist to do that for you or you're exploiting the industry
- ksd482 18d agoI think @conradludgate was alluding to that we have so much of AI slop these days. But I see your point too. I too like to generate cute and funny images and share it with my friends and family. But this being done at scale can lead to overall degradation of the online experience.
- paimapi 18d agoplus the energy cost - https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/12/01/1084189/making-an-image-with-generative-ai-uses-as-much-energy-as-charging-your-phone/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/12/01/1084189/making-a... >Generating 1,000 images with a powerful AI model, such as Stable Diffusion XL, is responsible for roughly as much carbon dioxide as driving the equivalent of 4.1 miles in an average gasoline-powered car. In contrast, the least carbon-intensive text generation model they examined was responsible for as much CO2 as driving 0.0006 miles in a similar vehicle
- pllbnk 18d agoDo all Silicon Valley corporations use the same jingle for their product promotional videos? The creator must be really rich by now.
- scurnus 18d agoIf they all use it, then it is free
- bufbupa 18d agoStill can't make sprite sheets :(
- RobinL 18d agoInteresting. I'm surprised they haven't prioritised/deliberately trained for this more because of how useful it is to ask codex to generate some images/assets/sprites when building sill games. It would dramatically enhance how polished it's games were. That said for single images the old model was already okayish for prototypes
- vunderba 18d agoYou can get semi-decent sprite work out of GenAI models, but you still have to put in some manual work (scale normalization, palette reduction, grid alignments, etc). It's definitely not "out-of-the-box" yet. https://mordenstar.com/other/hobbes-animation https://mordenstar.com/other/hobbes-animation
- gpt5 18d agoReally nice share. I bet you could automate the manual work with today's models
- vunderba 17d agoYeah, I think you’re right. I think the hardest part would honestly be maintaining some level of consistency as your project grows its number of assets - otherwise there's no sense of a common stylistic theme. The agentic tooling in some of the latest models is getting pretty crazy too - somebody on Reddit recently shared an example of using GPT-6 Astra to generate sprites with Aseprite, an open-source, popular pixel art editor and it worked shockingly well.
- itomato 18d agoNo but it can write a tool that can.

- deleted 18d ago[deleted]
- srott 18d agoWhere is Dall-e?
- Sivart13 18d agoGreat idea, get an AI art tattoo so you can always be reminded how AI art looked in 2026.
- kridsdale1 17d agoLots of people have tattoos of what cutting edge video game graphics looked like in 1992.
- hspeiser 18d agothe clothing examples are super odd because its not actually useable. the clothes will not look like that on you, it just fits them to your body.
- minimaxir 18d agoA big wtf at the LM Arena scores: https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-image https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-image gpt-image-2.5-sunburst: 1421 gpt-image-2.5-flare: 1399 gpt-image-2 (medium): 1381 mai-image-2.6: 1331 Even with LM Arena being flawed, this is significant. I was planning to do a writeup on the original gpt-image-2 as it crushed every complex image comprehension benchmark I had...I'm glad I procrastinated since ChatGPT Images 2.5 seems like an even better starting point to test out what these models can actually do nowadays. Many people still think AI images output the wrong number of fingers on a regular basis. (EDIT: this was an ironic comment to make in hindsight and I own it)
- yoz-y 18d ago> Many people still think AI images output the wrong number of fingers on a regular basis. Last time I used a frontier image model it made me a seal with three hands so…
- yawn 18d ago> Many people still think AI images output the wrong number of fingers on a regular basis. There's literally an image of a dude with 3 fingers in the Composite Party Photo.
- minimaxir 18d agoSo this is a valid point (and I admit I eat crow on my earlier statement), but not for that reason. In that photo, there are three fingers in front of the cup, but you would not expect 5 fingers because the way humans hold cups, the thumb will be occluded by the cup itself. That said, I don't think there is a way to hold a cup with both thumb and index occluded, so the correct number of fingers would be 4 in that case.
- deleted 18d ago[deleted]
- addandsubtract 17d agoIf you zoom in, the index finger is just obscured by the middle finger. You can also see the knuckle, so it's not incorrect, just an awkward way to hold a cup.
- teaearlgraycold 18d agoThe AI tattoo. Hope you don’t have any ragrets.
- vgalin 18d agoThe introductory video is a bit... daring. Generating tattoos that clearly look AI-generated is not one of the use-cases I'd try to sell.
- VladVladikoff 17d agoIt hit me just now that people might actually getting tattooed with AI slop. That’s… depressing
- dude250711 17d agoThink on the bright side, it will be easier to judge them based on how they look, possibly saving you time and effort.
- Auracle 17d agoI mean, it would probably be better than many tattoo artist’s art. At the very least it’s not a bad way to see how something would look on you before you permanently do it.
- starone99 18d agofeels this something backhanded
- tyjen 18d agoThe Facebook Marketplace experience for used items has depreciated considerably with the widespread adoption of LLMs. Between placing attractive models in photos to help sell items to "improving" the visual condition of items that completely misrepresent the real condition of the item, it's becoming a trickier landscape to navigate to find what you're looking for.
- Auracle 17d agoI just saw a Twitter thread of someone calling out realtors with absolutely egregious editing examples. Think pools and landscaping being added to backyards, a background being changed to a mountainous region, and furniture being “staged” in an attic space that definitely couldn’t fit that furniture. A realtor in the comments said they legally need to also post the same images but unedited, but I’m sure when you’re doing this the first 50 are the edited ones and the last 50 are the unedited. How many people make it to the unedited?
- johnnyApplePRNG 17d agoThis is going to get regulated pretty quick.
- raincole 18d agoI feel it's more like a Nano Banana 2 update. It's much faster than gpt-image-2 but the quality isn't much different.
- deleted 17d ago[deleted]
- TomGarden 18d agoThe societal hurt coming out of public releases of image/video generation models must surely outweight the gain. That said, this is super impressive.
- UltraSane 18d agoTrump is going to have so much fun with this!
- dogomatic 18d agoFine tuned slop. It still isn’t very visually appealing, what’s the end game here?
- furyofantares 18d agoallllll the way at the bottom > Pricing and availability > Images 2.5 is rolling out today to ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex users across all tiers on desktop, mobile, and web. > GPT‑Image‑2.5 Sunburst and GPT‑Image‑2.5 Flare are available in the API. See pricing details here. and the link to the pricing details is a page where i am either too dumb to find the pricing details, or they don't exist
- raincole 17d agohttps://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing#image-tokens https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing#image-tokens
- furyofantares 17d agoLooks like they updated the link to that page now too. Thanks. Same price as image-2, and I'm guessing it's not more tokens (given the speedup).
- webdood90 18d agoComing to HN to read comments on releases like this reminds me that there is a small, vocal minority that is pushing so hard for more and more features like this. The majority of the world does not want or need any of this, yet the nerds in SF that can hardly hold a conversation with another human being are pumping it out as quickly as they can. I truly think we're fucked.
- charcircuit 17d agoPeople love being able to generate flyers and stuff with AI. This isn't an SF only phenomenon.
- weird-eye-issue 17d agoDo you travel? I've visited several countries in the past couple of years, and everywhere I go I see AI-generated images used widely by businesses.
- meerita 18d agoI've really enjoyed using AI to generate images. For example, Long time ago, I read an amazing five-book saga called Riverworld, and I used AI to recreate many scenes, places, and ideas from the story. Seeing the books come to life through hundreds of images was a great experience. Definitely one of the coolest things to enjoy in 2026. Try it with your favorite books.
- Starlevel004 18d ago[flagged]
- RobinL 18d agoI wish I could do it better. There seems to be a lot of variability. This episode of radiolab on the topic is fascinating: https://radiolab.org/podcast/aphantasia/transcript?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://radiolab.org/podcast/aphantasia/transcript?utm_sourc...
- fsloth 18d agoNot all people can!
- SirMaster 17d agoI feel like the reason I dislike reading or find reading boring is because I can't. But it's just a theory. Meanwhile I absolutely love movies.
- parasxos 18d ago[flagged]
- benatkin 18d agoEarlier today I couldn't get ChatGPT to draw a horse on the moon. Idea taken from Stable Diffusion's wikipedia page. I tried three times with that prompt, "a photograph of an astronaut riding a horse" and again with a horse on the moon. I got it to do another image. However, the original prompt just worked, though it didn't happen to choose the moon, it didn't say the moon. Edit: finally, I have my horse on the moon. https://chatgpt.com/share/6aa0627e-b168-83e9-98e5-d5ad5a9cad03 https://chatgpt.com/share/6aa0627e-b168-83e9-98e5-d5ad5a9cad... Though the horse doesn't have a spacesuit, neither does it have one in the Stable Diffusion wikipedia page. Edit 2: finally got the kind of result I wanted https://chatgpt.com/share/6aa06813-4818-83e9-9c19-8c8ac9a34815 https://chatgpt.com/share/6aa06813-4818-83e9-9c19-8c8ac9a348... https://chatgpt.com/s/p_359c0c38939c81918addaaa9de196f4e https://chatgpt.com/s/p_359c0c38939c81918addaaa9de196f4e
- nilsherzig 18d agoNothing will ever beat this one https://cf.preview.redd.it/a-photo-of-an-astronaut-riding-a-horse-three-years-apart-v0-xjin9ua4t53g1.png?width=2816&format=png&auto=webp&s=abef836df12cd7ccfa6219369dc4c3f2fb8d2634 https://cf.preview.redd.it/a-photo-of-an-astronaut-riding-a-...
- benatkin 17d agoWow, that's amazing. I was about to tell it to make the helmet similar to the human one, with the gold visor, but thought it wouldn't convey it as well, but not only is it obvious, it still has the feeling of being a horse.
- vunderba 17d agoThat’s surprising even gpt-image-1 was able to handle the equestrian astronaut prompt pretty trivially, albeit yellow-tinged as all hell. For the heck of it, I ratcheted up the difficulty of the prompt (two-headed horse, astronaut with the visor up, etc.), and gpt-image-2 got it right every time. https://imgpb.com/HwDVcJo https://imgpb.com/HwDVcJo
- rarisma 18d agodrink more water is a crazy thing to ai generate
- jjcm 18d agoI use gpt image 2 very heavily for my current project (ai UI design tool). The biggest improvement I'm seeing with this is in speed. I've generated around 50k images with gpt-image-2 via api, the the average latency has held at around 104s. It's wild how much of a difference this is - images are coming in at around 35-40s. Very noticable, and makes a difference when you're iterating quickly: https://jjcm.org/gpt-image-2.5-speed.mp4 https://jjcm.org/gpt-image-2.5-speed.mp4
- raincole 17d agoI'm confused. Isn't diffui using its own model?
- jjcm 17d agoIt's both. I have several models loaded into diffui. Which one each prompt uses is determined based on user preference over time. Whichever image is currently at the top of any image node stack marks a win for the model that generated it, I assign each model an ELO score based on that, and I bias the chance each model is selected based on their ELO score. Right now gpt-image-2 is better than my own model, and it services around ~96% of the requests in diffui. I'll also be adding in microsoft's mai-image-2.6 soon, but I need to update my SOC2 to add MS as a provider before I turn that on for other users. The full list of models in rotation is here: https://image.non.io/d53a9760-8b74-4386-b032-d59da2cd5319.webp https://image.non.io/d53a9760-8b74-4386-b032-d59da2cd5319.we...
- raincole 17d agoOh, you're the dev of diffui? It's completely off-topic, but I've notice that RMB -> Download image will download an .png but it's actually a .webp and it can cause issues (e.g. file explorer doesn't show thumbnail correctly).
- jjcm 17d agoIndeed I am! Also nice catch - should have a fix up in the next hour. Hit me up with any other reqs - j@diffui.ai Edit: confirmed that the download should be fixed now - should be properly a png now.

- sunaookami 17d agoIt must be, I'm not on any plan (free user) and got a modal on ChatGPT.com that let's me use it (for 3 images a day). Should be much higher for Plus users.
- arjie 17d agoNone of the improvements are particularly useful for my principal use-case. Creating infographics to visualize how things interact and so on. But it’s always nice to see improvement here.
- __MatrixMan__ 17d ago> Arrange these flowers What kind of person cares enough to buy flowers for an arrangement, but is uninterested in arranging them? What's next, will we buy music for our AI's to listen to? Food for them to eat? There's a lot of drudgery that can be automated away, but this seems to be focused on automating the fun parts away.
- 72deluxe 17d agoI believe the next step will be from Douglas Adam's "Dirk Gently" book where an electric monk exists to believe things for you, to save you the effort and "bother" of having to have religious belief. It's very sad.
- WarmWash 17d agoDoes it still have that distinct off-white shading of previous models though? I'm 99% sure that that is the main tell AI sniffers rely on.
- throwaway314155 17d ago> that distinct off-white shading Let's see Paul Allen's card.
- _doctor_love 17d agoSurprised there is no mention of the Sketch feature so far. That's very powerful! I do art on the side and I know no better of getting the result I want than passing in a first draft sketch. I super encourage others to learn just a little bit of art technique and your images are going to go to the next level. You need a little construction, perspective, gesture, anatomy, and you're pretty much off to the races. Knowing names of illustration styles is great too. Look up "style transfer" if you are not familiar.
- kiririn7 17d agowtf are these comments what happened to hn.
- geooff_ 17d agoStill far too expensive. At this point, I'm much more interested in seeing releases for models chasing down prices on "good enough" to unlock new use-cases than I am SOTA. I've been using Grok Imagine V1 in prod for months now as its quality for my use-case is already more than enough.
- somenameforme 17d agoShould probably mention this as a root comment, but various local image gen models like fooocus [1] run on basically any remotely modern hardware, have phenomenal output quality, and cost basically nothing. I think companies trying to sell image gen at this point are just banking on ignorance. [1] - https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus
- lefty2 17d agoEven GPT Images 2.0 was already the best image generator that I have tried, however it has one massive disadvantage: draconian censorship. Even rendering a gun in a scene will get flagged as "violent" and I need to create a battle scene... there's no way to do that with the censorship the way it is
- redox99 17d agoI hate so much how every food menu is now AI slop. I wish that was outlawed under false advertising.
- Nition 17d agoDid anyone else notice that all the use cases they show here are "use ChatGPT Images to imagine all the things you'd like to have, but don't"? For some, they then show the thing being done, since just imagining it is a bit sad. But ChatGPT Images can't help you with that part. At best, it's providing creative inspiration - but that's often the most rewarding part of the process for a human... None of the examples show things where you just need an image directly, e.g. product labels, signage, sprites, textures, images for websites etc. I guess aspirational stuff sells? In order, there's: - Imagine you had better decorations for your fish. - Imagine you had a tattoo of your pet. - Imagine you had a unique candle holder. - Imagine you had a worse haircut. - Imagine your flowers were arranged. - Imagine your child had a suit. - Imagine your dog had a costume. - Imagine you owned a scanner. - Imagine you could hang out with friends. - Imagine your bed was made.
- abound 17d agoI think you've picked the most cynical interpretation for each one. More charitably, you could say: - Ideate on things you can build for your fish tank - Iterate quickly on ideas for a tattoo - Get inspiration for a new metalworking (or 3D printing?) project - Get a sense for what a new haircut might look like, before you commit - Iterate on arrangements for a bouquet of flowers - Do silly things with childhood photos - Do silly things with pet photos - Clean up low-res, damaged, or weirdly formatted photos - Do some creative storytelling with your long-distance friends - Okay yeah fine they should just make the damn bed, but I can imagine small tweaks being useful for staging a home (easy to abuse though)
- Nition 17d agoThis is fair criticism, I was being pretty harsh.
- razorbeamz 17d ago> None of the examples show things where you just need an image directly, e.g. product labels, signage, sprites, textures, images for websites etc. I think this is because recently there has been extreme backlash to this sort of thing.
- tezza 17d agoI've done a side by side comparison of the two new models across all quality levels. Versus all the previous models https://generative-ai.review/2026/09/rush-openai-image-gen-2-5-vs-2-vs-1-5-vs-1-vs-1-mini-at-all-quality-levels/ https://generative-ai.review/2026/09/rush-openai-image-gen-2... right, off to bed now

- plastic041 17d agoI can't stop thinking that these use cases aren't real, and OpenAI is just gaslighting people. Humans don't need AI for these trivial things. This ad feels like a science fiction, where humans can't do anything without the help of their AI assistants. - Design a tattoo of my cat - What hairstyle should I have - Arrange these flowers What next? Who should I date? Open the door?
- sebzim4500 17d agoYou're right that no one needs this, but OpenAI are right that many people will use it

- ashing 17d agoI plan to try something for designing the UI of my website.
- Hoftheater 17d agoThis is a nice showcase of what it can do but so little of it seems to be actually useful or rather odd choices. Some examples were already mentioned, but also the Gdocs presentation: apart from the terrible layout, why would one use fake photos of the sun in a "science" talk when there is an abundance of real high-res photos available? For educational purposes these are even free to use.
- ivraatiems 17d agoThere's maybe something cool at the core of this - help you ideate by seeing things in images! - but it's lost in all the other awful ways this gets used. More fake menus with food that looks nothing like the real thing. More fake book covers displacing real artists. I can admire and enjoy the work of coding agents, which mostly just help solve problems and save me time. I can appreciate that there are creative uses for agents with text, that they could save people time, and that the environmental and safety concerns potentially have solutions. I just can't see my way to appreciating these art agents, or any use of AI as a replacement for a human creative process. It's not because their output is bad, anymore (though sometimes it still isn't great). It's because it is bereft. Even if I could, nobody in my life would be okay with my using them alongside my actual creative work. In fact, they'd be pretty upset if I did. And if I found out they'd been sharing stories with me written by AI, I'd be mad, too. I'd rather just see the prompts.
- King-Aaron 17d agoAI art is making me realise that through my whole artistic career, the reason it's so hard to convince people that they need good design is because no one really appreciates good art and design other than people who have studied art and design.
- iamacyborg 17d agoIt’s okay to make nice things for a small group of people, the challenge, obviously, is finding those people and exposing them to your work.
- qbit42 17d agoAnd getting paid…
- etdznots 17d agoAs a software user, I feel just as frustrated and disappointed when I look at a projects website, code, and commit history and it’s slop, why in the world would I use this garbage when I can just prompt my model to make my own? Realize the people using this to make slop menus and book covers feel the same way, wow this is useful and saves me so much time/money!
- jve 17d agoCan someone recommend a correct way for interior design ideas? Yesterday tried GPT-6-Astra Light to have a kitchen remodel... well it did understand 2D space, an improvement when tried on GPT-5.6-Sol But the image representation was way off and I was not satisfied... misplaced the window, drew a wall which was not on 2D image, cabinet size issues. Eh.
- earthnail 17d agoLook at the kid in a costume. The shoulders of ChatGPT’s output are just wrong. Sure, the kid looks prettier, stronger with a wider upper body, closer to society’s ideal of a child. But it’s not him. If you put that child in a suit, he’d still have a smaller upper body and the arms wouldn’t fill out the suit as nicely as the child in the AI image does. It’s just not the same child. I know we’re gonna get there eventually, but still, seeing as this is their first demo image on the page I just can’t help but scream inside “HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THIS?” It really makes me question whether the people building, or at least the people marketing this, actually understand their product. I love image generation for all kinds of use cases, but I find that particular example creepy.

- amelius 17d agoI'm trying to make a looping animation of a small icon, for a UI. Does anyone here know which AI tool is good for this usecase? I've tried Gemini and Adobe Firefly with 2 keyframes, but they cannot do looping animations, and they seem to have trouble getting icons right (they invent features that I don't want).
- erichocean 17d agoAstra with an animation app (pick whichever one you like)
- vib08 17d agothis is just amazing, i had very good results with gpt-image-2 as it generates more realistic images than gemini.
