ChatGPT’s new Images 2.0 model is surprisingly good at generating text

It used to be easy enough to distinguish between human-made and AI-generated imagery — just two years ago, you couldn’t use image models to create a menu for a Mexican restaurant without inventing new culinary delights like “enchuita,” “churiros,” “burrto,” and “margartas.” Now, when I ask the brand new ChatGPT Images 2.0 model for a menu of Mexican food, it creates something that could immediately be used in a restaurant without customers noticing that something’s off.
