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.
Removing the background is impossible - or more to the point, it would yield a blank image. There is no foreground in the image, it would wind up removing everything. Which also means that its result for isolate the background is exactly right. Although we might want to argue that the lower part of the image is a midground, that's ambiguous.
You're mostly right to criticize the fisheye - it's plausibly a fisheye image, but not one derived from the original. For bokeh, you're right that it got the mountain wrong. But it did get the other samples, and it's the only one that seems to know what bokeh is at all, as the other models got none of them (other than Seadream getting the Newton right).
For the "metallic sheen", I assume you mean where they said "give the object a metallic sheen", since the first attempt had OpenAI giving the image itself a quality as if it were printed or etched on metal, arguably correct. But for that second one, for all but the 4th sample, OpenAI did it best for mountain and rubik's cube, and no worse for cats and car. Seadream wins for the Newton.
I don't have any knowledge of the Japanese styles requested, so I'm not judging those.
I've reviewed your examples, and it hasn't changed my mind.
