Honestly, I think it was misfounded. As an photographer and artist myself, I find the OpenAI results head-and-shoulders above the others. It's not perfect, and in a few cases one or the other alternative did better, but if I had to pick one, it would be OpenAI for sure. The gap between their aesthetics and mine makes me question ever using their other products (which is purely academic since I'm not an Apple person).

How many of those result did you actually look at? I thought it did ok with the cats, but check the other images and OpenAI strait up failed to do the prompt a large fraction of the time.

  • I'm wondering if I read the same article. Yeah, I looked at every single one the results. And although it's been a couple of hours since, I don't recall ANY examples where it completely failed to do anything. Can you point me to an example?

    • I don’t want to go through every image, for the mountain:

      It failed Remove background, Isolate the background, long exposed (kept people), Apply a fish-eye lens effect (geometry incorrect), Strong bokeh blur (wrong blur type)

      Some were more ambiguous. Give it a metallic sheen looked cool but that isn’t a metallic sheen and IMO it just failed ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock print style but I wouldn’t object to calling it a vaguely Japanese style. Compare how colors blend with ukiyo-e woodblocks vs how OpenAI‘a sky is done.
