This works great for many purposes.

One area where it does not work well at all is modifying photographs of people's faces.* Completely fumbles if you take a selfie and ask it to modify your shirt, for example.

* = unless the people are in the training set



> We’re aware of a bug where the model struggles with maintaining consistency of edits to faces from user uploads but expect this to be fixed within the week.

Sounds like it may be a safety thing that's still getting figured out


Thanks, I had not seen that caveat!


It just doesn't have that kind of image editing capability. Maybe people just assume it does because Google's similar model has it. But did OpenAI claim it could edit images?


Yes it does, and that's one of the most important parts of it being multi-modal: just like it can make targeted edits at a piece of text, it can now make similarly nuanced edits to an image. The character consistency and restyling they mention are all rooted in the same concepts.


That's to be expected, no? It's a usian product so it will be a disappointment in all areas where things could get lewd.


What is usian? Never heard of that.


US-ian, as in from the United States.


So should we be using Eusians for citizens of the Estados Unidos Mexicanos?


Why?

The Americas are quite a bit larger than the USA, so I disagree with 'american' being a word for people and things from mainland USA. Usian seems like a reasonable derivative of USA and US, similar to how mexican follows from Mexico and Estados Unidos Mexicanos.
