In the day that I have had access, I gave the new model a wide range of tasks.

  • A friend asked me to make a memorial image of her recently deceased cat along with two favorite toys. It crafted an image that looked like a highly personalized sympathy card.

  • It elegantly took two photos from my wedding and made it appear as if they were in an old-style photo album with photo corners.

  • My colleagues suggested a poster for a fictional event. I decided to create a Mike Allen look-alike contest in Washington Square Park this Sunday. (Of course, it’s only fictional if no one shows up.)

It also made a handy infographic making “the case against candy corn” which I used unsuccessfully to convince two colleagues that the treat, which is neither candy nor corn, is also not good.

The full pages it designs are scary good. I’d go so far as to say this is definitely a shot across the bow for design work.

If you’re used to absurd lettering and poor design decisions, the output included in the story suggests otherwise.
