Some of those were pretty misguided and couldn't be answered yes/no/not sure. For example a post saying that it couldn't produce a convincing illustration misses the point: it can produce coherent and sensible pictures, but they're all too similar. You need novel input and even then there's no guarantee. "Convincing" has way more than one dimension. The problem of output variety was obvious and well known in 2024 when it was posted and is painfully obvious now when everyone is tired of slop, and neither big labs nor other researchers are interested in solving this. Another problem is that the agentic/coding training leaks like crazy, and models became worse in creative department even compared to 2024, despite being more coherent and convincing. So the answer is technically yes (and was yes when it was posted), but practically "it depends", and goalposts stay in the exact same spot they were in 2024.
