To ensure that GPT-5 funnels the image to the SOTA model `gpt-image-1`, click the Plus Sign and select "Create Image". There will still be some inherent prompt enrichment likely happening since GPT-5 is using `gpt-image-1` as a tool. Outside of using the API, I'm not sure there is a good way to avoid this from happening.

Prompt: "A photo of a kitchen knife with the classic Damascus spiral metallic pattern on the blade itself, studio photography"
