Pro AI Artist: ChatGPT 2.5 Falls Flat vs Seedream 5.0 Pro in Realistic Photography Test
maynmaynmayn · reddit · 2026-09-17
A professional AI imagery artist (3 years experience, 5-20 images daily for clients) ran an identical complex prompt — specifying lens characteristics, camera angles, depth of field, and bokeh shape — through ChatGPT Images 2.5 Sunburst (MAX quality) and Seedream 5.0 Pro.
His verdict: ChatGPT 2.5 is "practically unusable" for realistic photography requiring aesthetic quality or visual fidelity, calling the hype around it undeserved. Side-by-side comparisons are attached for readers to judge.
