ChatGPT Images 2.5 Is Getting Weird

ChatGPT Images 2.5 is here, and people are already making some pretty weird stuff with it. But is more detail actually making the images better? I'm going through the edits, animations, comparisons with Nano Banana Pro, and the posts where people prefer the competition. There's a laser-eyed banana, a stop-motion caterpillar, and a surprisingly useful argument about what a normal photo should look like. These are creator-posted examples, not tests I ran myself. The reactions are a small early sample, not a poll of everyone using ChatGPT. 00:00 The small edit problem 00:47 Repeated edits 01:39 The stop-motion caterpillar 02:42 Comparing portraits 03:33 Five strange prompts 04:28 More detail or more noise 05:16 The strongest disagreement 06:10 What counts as realistic 06:49 The disputed reflection 07:37 Sketching inside ChatGPT 08:25 The eighties portraits 09:04 My early takeaway Original posts and creators Chetaslua https://x.com/chetaslua/status/209740...
