Follow up: they are the same resolution (72 DPI)

When asked to make an image lower res(olution), ChatGPT refuses because of built-in quality standards. I imagine this is something that could be “fixed,” but it points out that while we can create seemingly anything with models, doing so also flattens expression in unforeseen ways.

This series of attempts to get Google’s Gemini model depict a horse riding an astronaut is great, as it is the article by Gary Marcus explaining why it is so hard to get an image generation model to do so. Similar to my experience trying to code with a foundation model, the last mile is really tedious and maybe subject to Zeno’s paradox.
