For years, the fastest way to spot an AI image was to look for text. Letters melted, kerning wandered, and anything longer than three words collapsed into gibberish. GPT Image 2 is the first model we trust with a headline.
What changed
The model treats short strings as first-class compositional elements rather than texture. Keep the text brief — a title, a label, a short tagline — and render it as part of the scene's geometry, not an afterthought.
Where it matters most
Packaging mockups, event posters, and UI concepts are the obvious wins. The subtler one is editorial illustration: a magazine-style cover with a legible masthead instantly reads as finished, not drafted.
