AI is 10% Technology - 90% People

Daily Image Ritual
Chat GPT - 4o
Recently released image generation capabilities allowing the user to upload one or more images as a basis for the subject.
WhatsApp - Llama 4
Enables the user to take left/right profile, and front images of themself, allowing you to "imagine" yourself in different settings.

Both have been remarkable breakthroughs in AI and Generative AI.
Daily Ritual: Scheduled prompts via Chat GPT Tasks. Beginning with the same image (left); I input the same prompt in both models, evaluate, and compare the outputs.

The Prompt Allows Me To:

Get a daily dose of inspiration with a new, structured image prompt delivered at 9am via Chat GPT tasks. Each prompt includes: Outfit Location (setting) Pose Artistic Style EXAMPLE PROMPT Imagine me wearing a neon-green spacesuit with chrome accents, walking through a Martian bazaar lined with alien vendors and glowing lanterns, giving a thumbs-up to a curious creature, in the hyper-detailed, sci-fi realism of a Moebius illustration.

Prompt Rejected by Chat GPT
Punk Street Art on the Berlin Wall
Created in WhatsApp Llama 4, but rejected by Chat GPT Policies.
I suspect that this was rejected due to the mention of politics (Berlin Wall), or the act of defacing the wall.
PROMPT
Imagine me dressed in a classic punk ensemble with tartan pants and safety pins, spray-painting a peace symbol on the Berlin Wall while laughing defiantly, in the raw, anarchic aesthetic of street art by Banksy.

Observations
✅ Chat GPT - 4o
  • Artistic styles
  • Easier to iterate your prompt to your liking
  • Can be slow, especially as they release new functionality
  • Creative liberties taken with my appearance, unless photo-realism is in the prompt
  • Always a static image
  • Image shape varies from portrait to square to landscape. Some control allowed over dimensions via your prompt.
❌ WhatsApp - Llama 4
  • Always photo-realistic
  • Not as responsive to iterations
  • Fast
  • Almost always looks much more like me
  • Aware of mentions of motion or animation resulting in the delivery of an animation (GIF)
  • Images are always square shaped (likely for easy posting)
  • Limited to you. Cannot upload other images as a basis for the subject.

Though both are fantastic; I give the WIN to Chat GPT for iterations, artistic styles, and flexibility
