This new update by OpenAI is crazy. Finally image generation is heading towards the usable and practical path. Link to OpenAI press release My experimentation Using pretty basic prompt techniques I’ve learnt while playing around with Midjourney, I managed to generate the following image on GPT-4o’s new image gen.
