Images 2.5 Is More Fun Than I Expected, but is it Better?

From the creator

ChatGPT Images 2.5 surprised me with some seriously weird ideas. I test OpenAI's new image model and view some wonderfully cursed creations from the MattVidPro Discord. My verdict: an upgrade over Images 2.0, especially in how it handles complicated ideas, with familiar limits still showing up. ▼ Link(s) From Today’s Video: OpenAI — ChatGPT Images 2.5 announcement: https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-images-2-5/ Ivana — 36-image stop-motion experiment in Codex: https://x.com/ivanainai/status/2097446105906553188 Angel — sharing OpenAI's editing-consistency demo: https://x.com/Angaisb_/status/2097396424933589011 Gabriel Chua — Will Smith eating spaghetti: https://x.com/gabrielchua/status/2097546354373603554 Tim Jayas — Nano Banana / "Spicy Mayo" Minecraft comparison: https://x.com/TimJayas/status/2097776230636695760 MattVidPro Discord: https://discord.com/invite/mattvidpro Follow Me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattVidPro Buy me a Coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/mattvidpro ▼ Extra Links of Interest: General AI Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrfI66qWYbW3acrBQ4qltDBsjxaoGSl3I Instagram: instagram.com/mattvidpro Tiktok: tiktok.com/@mattvidpro Gaming & Extras Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattVidProGaming A couple of clarifications: the LEGO experiment used Codex's built-in image tool, which did not expose its exact backend version. The cause of the repeating texture I discuss is unconfirmed. "Spicy Mayo" is the preview codename discussed in the linked post; its final model identity was not confirmed there.
