“The variety in attire has improved, though the inclusion of futuristic costuming arguably goes against the request for historical people. The request for more diverse gender representation was addressed to the most minimal degree possible, as seven out of eight figures are still men. Each ball does look different now, though in the first, fourth, and arguably third images, it's no longer necessarily discernible at a glance that the figures are meant to be playing catch. The variety of backgrounds is only okay, as 1 and 2 are still fairly similar, though the change in time of day in the third and the inclusion of buildings in the background of the fourth are appreciated.”

Wanted to vary but could not: The main thing that I would want the vary tool to do here, is take one image as the base and vary from that. Either that function was not working here, or there was only the option to do either complete new set / vary all four. Picking one and iterating from that would have been very useful.

Useful to say what varies: ★★★★★

Slider behaved as expected: ★★★☆☆

Enjoyed the task: ★★★★★

Preferred: Both, for different things

Uses image generators: A few times

Wanted to vary but could not: It could not take instructions where you want to lock in on one of the output images and only generate or make edits based on the first one. So what I mean is say you like mostly everything about the first image and you want to make variations on the first image you can single it out. There could be a feature where you select the best one and discard the rest and then keep making future variations of that selected one until you get the image you want.

Enjoyed the task: ★★★★★

Preferred: Edit these

Uses image generators: Weekly or more

Wanted to vary but could not: In the prompt for 8-tracks and cassettes, the assistant could have done a better job in adhering to what an 8-track tape actually looks like - it did better in the second round when I asked for a new set to be generated, but not 100% perfect, however this is a somewhat common problem with image generators and this model did a slightly better job than most.

Other: As someone who enjoys using image generators, I did purposely try to use a couple of difficult prompts that assistants often mess up, and this model did a better job than I was expecting, to be honest. Impressive.

Would do more: Yes

Suggestions: A mix of both

Enjoyed the task: ★★★★★

Preferred: Edit these

Uses image generators: A few times

Wanted to vary but could not: It made all the variations, just took a little editing of the sliders to get things correct.

Other: for the (third?) set of images, I was aiming for Olympic divers from a platform, instead the system thought I meant scuba divers and would not produce what I meant despite me trying to change the prompt to something else entirely. I therefore tried to reject that set so that I could try a completely different prompt and not have that round counted as one of the five. However that round was accepted as one of the five, which wasn't my intention. My bad.
