I think you've picked the most cynical interpretation for each one. More charitably, you could say:

- Ideate on things you can build for your fish tank

- Iterate quickly on ideas for a tattoo

- Get inspiration for a new metalworking (or 3D printing?) project

- Get a sense for what a new haircut might look like, before you commit

- Iterate on arrangements for a bouquet of flowers

- Do silly things with childhood photos

- Do silly things with pet photos

- Clean up low-res, damaged, or weirdly formatted photos

- Do some creative storytelling with your long-distance friends

- Okay yeah fine they should just make the damn bed, but I can imagine small tweaks being useful for staging a home (easy to abuse though)

This is fair criticism, I was being pretty harsh.

> Did anyone else notice that all the use cases they show here are "use ChatGPT Images to imagine all the things you'd like to have, but don't"?

What else could they highlight? The other major use case for these models for normal people (generating NSFW images) is explicitly blocked by them.

If someone shows me a picture of a haircut, or a dress and asked me if it would look good on them, I can't imagine it. My mind does not work like that. I just can't visually see it.

At least it saves them asking you now, I guess?

There's no way to win in that situation anyway - if you said "yes I think it'd look great!" and then they went and got their hair cut to match your suggestion but didn't like it, is it your fault for saying "yes"?

> None of the examples show things where you just need an image directly, e.g. product labels, signage, sprites, textures, images for websites etc.

I think this is because recently there has been extreme backlash to this sort of thing.
