GPT-Image 1.5 doesn’t do that — it simply applies a visual style that falls apart when examined closely.
Since the new update, creating images with high artistic value has been impossible for me.
I can no longer create breathtaking, ultra-fine detail fine art paintings!
When I say the model is unusable for me , I don’t mean it’s “bad” in general — it simply doesn’t meet the quality requirements needed for more advanced work
