Hands-on with ChatGPT's powerful new image engine (www.axios.com)

In the day that I have had access, I gave the new model a wide range of tasks.

A friend asked me to make a memorial image of her recently deceased cat along with two favorite toys. It crafted an image that looked like a highly personalized sympathy card.

It elegantly took two photos from my wedding and made it appear as if they were in an old-style photo album with photo corners.

My colleagues suggested a poster for a fictional event. I decided to create a Mike Allen look-alike contest in Washington Square Park this Sunday. (Of course, it's only fictional if no one shows up.)

It also made a handy infographic making "the case against candy corn" which I used unsuccessfully to convince two colleagues that the treat, which is neither candy nor corn, is also not good.

The full pages it designs are scary good. I'd go so far as to say this is definitely a shot across the bow for design work.

If you're used to absurd lettering and poor design decisions, the output included in the story suggests otherwise.

That's asking which one someone likes more, not which they think is AI. It's a subtle but important distinction. For me it was a tossup. I picked the AI 3 to 2.

In reality all the passages felt like over-written attempts to say something simple, as poetical as possible. I've never really liked that style of writing. I try to be much more direct.

But generally, yah. That's what I mean. You need that kind of test to know if you can tell something is AI or not.

yeah, I edited the comment saying something similar, but maybe the edit didn't federate to your server in time to be seen. I'd rather they just ask me to identify which is which, because I don't really know which I prefer really as I agree in not liking that prosey poetic sort of style - overwritten as you put it. and I identified 3/5 AI texts but sometimes preferred them to the human text. So they're not great choices of examples really.
