Fable just got announced and I did a rush out article because people are curious. I released the post mere hours afterwards and it takes time to create the output, slice into videos, make a wordpress article on top of taking my son to basketball training and eating dinner. I’m in London and this was all happening at 1am.

If you check the links my previous articles have all the juicy stuff you are criticising me for not having with little preparation.

How is a side by side direct comparison NOT precise?

[2] https://generative-ai.review/2026/05/vibe-coding-my-way-to-e... . Second in series 2026 has a side by side table of what changed. This is what is possible with more than a few hours advanced warning.

I get them to make a 3D explainer animation. You can clearly see Fable is much improved on both Opus 4.8 and ChatGPT 5.5.

Better Textures . A nifty camera follow . Humans rendered better . ... see for yourselves

Side by side videos to compare and contrast.

The amount of masterpiece level art flowing per hour was astounding.

For every one doing a ninja waifu, there were ten doing art from davinci and leonardo crossed with hockney.

it almost gave you art sickness

Also Novelty Automation (WC1R 4AX) is a tiny interactive museum/wharf end arcade which has some very intricate mechanical entertainments. Some are tiny.

I've done a series over all the OpenAI models.

gpt-image-2 has a lot more action, especially in the Apple Cart images.

Zillions of options. Some important, some not

fyi Affinity Photo has recolor and hue filters that will do just that.

I used it for my video game art.

I have decided to lean in to it and I will document all the places I use AI in the game on my blog[2]. Not everything works, notably 3D assets[3] and sound effects.

There is a lot of human content… i paid for a lot out of my own pocket and have limited budget. It started in 2021 before chatgpt. LLMs cannot do everything and that’s not the purpose.

Generative AI makes me as an solo indie dev able to make the game. Without the AI the game wouldn’t exist

POH = Plain Old Human

Easy to achieve.

Why NOT include a link back? Why deprive yourself of information?

* Ad Hoc

requirements change and terminal gives ultimate empty workbench flexibility. awesome for tasks you never new you had until that moment.

* Precision

run precisely what you want, when you want it. you are not constrained by gui UX limits.

* Pipeline

cat file.txt | perl/awk/sed/jq | tee output.result

* Equal Status

everything is text so you can combine clipboard, files, netcat output, curl output and then you can transform (above) and save. whatever you like in whatever form you like, named whatever you like.

comparing one shot results is a foolish way to evaluate a statistical process like LLM answers. we need multiple samples.

for https://generative-ai.review I do at least three samples of output. this often yields very differnt results even from the same query.

e.g: https://generative-ai.review/2025/11/gpt-image-1-mini-vs-gpt...

Still… a really good application of agent hands-off replication.

Seems like creating a quality negative mould and then that single negative mould makes multiple positive objects en-masse.

quick, easy and consistent. entirely voluntary.

Bravo
