Sam Altman says Images 2.0 is the jump from GPT-3 to GPT-5. He’s wrong.

The hype machine is in full swing for Images 2.0. Yes, it can finally spell 'Coffee Shop' correctly on a front. Yes, it can search the web for references. But calling it a GPT-5 level jump is typical OpenAI theater. They’ve just added an agentic loop to a diffusion model. It’s compute, not intelligence. For a freelancer, this means you can finally stop jumping into Photoshop to fix every single typo the AI makes. That’s a utility win, not a 'revolution.' We are paying in tokens for the AI to 'plan' what we already told it to do.
