ChatGPT vs Google: AI Image Editing Is Impressive, But Not Good Enough

All right. So, what you see here is a new chat GPT update uh which lets you do all your image editing from this new tab. And all of this comes with a new model. I gave it this base image and I said make me Santa and like not a long prompt just like very simple. And this is what it came up with. The belt is is this normal? No, that's uh that's not great. It's not great. But the rest is I must say it's pretty good. Now compare this to something from Google. This is from Google uh Nano Banana Pro. Oh wow. Same image, same exact prompt. And we see how different it is. Yeah, it looks not good. Uh the chat GPT1 is much closer. The image is much more preserved. The Google one is kind of like more I would say it makes more sense if it would be like me actually as Santa. Anyway, what we need to remember is or sorry, what we need to remind myself is ourselves is and it kind of really exemplifies this bubble is we need to put aside the technical prowess or the technical um it's no doubt very very cool some of this stuff that it's creating, but is it what you want? Is it something you would be proud to put in front of a client that they've paid, you know, x amount of money for? No, a lot of this stuff is we're not there yet. Like and and and and there's a great great video that I watched about Apple. We can get into this next week about how their their their plan to kind of step back a little bit and announcing that we didn't release stuff because it's not good enough like in a bubble. Yeah. Um sorry relative I've forgotten relative or absolute whatever it is, but it's like no like it's just not good enough. Impressive, but is it good enough? And that's what we got to ask. So to me it's not good enough and hallucination absolutely exists. So if you do coding, if you do image generation, if you do any sort of work with AI, the hallucination hits too bad like it's still not close to the Apple level that you mentioned and even not enough for my clients. Like I showed you this earlier uh that we are doing this um Christmas card, right? This image is generated with AI. Do you think this is going in front of my clients? No, absolutely not. Like this is dog Like if you uh zoom in, it's hallucinating so much. I cannot put this in front of my client. So my 3D guy, he's creating like a full on like 3D Christmas tree with with like Web Flow and Figma and logos of like these companies, our logo and like these logos um added and like all with care and detail and the level that I want. I I literally took pictures of my own Christmas tree and sent it to him as a reference. So no, this is this is good. These tools are good for doing like these prototyping. It's really quick to get a Christmas tree in the aspect ratio and form and direction that we want to put it on on the canvas to play with. But when it comes to the final touch and getting it to the client, unfortunately, these tools are not there. Nothing's taken away from the fact that it's impressive. It's very clever. And I I've got something to show you in just a second. So, and I wouldn't even create a Christmas card for my friends with AI. I wouldn't I I would find that offensive, man. Tough tough nut to crack. You are, aren't you? Jesus. People like if it was my best friend and they did this to me, right? Yes, I'd be a little bit pissed off. Or if it was like, you know, but if it was someone like that I wasn't that close to, I'd be like, "Yeah, whatever." This is part of a larger conversation on my show, Command AI, which we stream live every single week. We discuss the news and all things related to AI in the world of design and web. Catch us next week and join in the banter. Get ready for the jump scare, guys.
