I'm confused as well, I thought gpt-image could already do most of these things, but I guess the key difference is that gpt-image is not good for single point edits. In terms of "wow" factor it doesn't feel as big as gpt 3->4 though, since it sure _felt_ like models could already do this.

People really slept on gpt-image-1 and were too busy making Miyazaki/Ghibli images.

I feel like most of the people on HN are paying attention to LLMs and missing out on all the crazy stuff happening with images and videos.

LLMs might be a bubble, but images and video are not. We're going to have entire world simulation in a few years.
