Analysis ChatGPT’s new image model turned my article into handwriting Images 2.0 is easily the best text-rendering image model I’ve seen. , PDT OpenAI says Images 2.0 is its first image-generation model with “thinking” capabilities, meaning it can stop and ponder an image prompt before diving right in. When it comes to text, Images 2.0 supports a variety of languages, including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Bengali, and others that employ non-Latin text. It can also search the web for real-time information before rendering images, as well as create multiple images in one shot, good for rendering catalog images, comicbook-style panels, and storyboards. OpenAI promises that Images 2.0 will deliver an “unprecedented level of specificity and fidelity,” meaning (hopefully) that it will do a better job at prompt adherence–that is, creating images that follow your prompts to the letter. With this level of accuracy, Images 2.0 could offer an answer to the question I’ve long asked about image-generating models: What are they good for, aside from creating goofy memes or creepy deepfakes? What’s the actual, practical application? Near-instant typesetting, infographic creation, and catalog rendering could be some of the solutions, although fixing a typo would require completely re-rendering the image. It’s also possible that the more you experiment with Images 2.0 (I’ve only been playing with it for an hour or so), the more the rendered images may look same-y, which is why you’d likely need a skilled human prompter with an eye for design at the helm. : Ben Patterson, , Ben has been writing about consumer technology for more than 20 years, and now focuses his reporting on AI as it relates to the basic human experience.
