A bit mixed opinions - I tried colorizing manga pages with it, and the results were perfect.

Interestingly, it can change pages with tons of text on them without any problem, but cannot seem to do translation, if I ask it to translate a French comic page, the text ends up garbled (even though it can perfectly read and translate the text by itself).

I tried with another page, and it copypasted the same character (in different poses!) all over the panels. Absolutely uncanny!

However when I asked to remake a Western comic book in a manga style (provided a very similar manga page to the comic one), it totally failed.

Also about 50% of the time, it just tells me it'll generate the image but doesn't actually do it - not sure what's going on but a retry fixes it, but it's annoying.

I had a similar experience.

It did not change the text on a hat (ended up changing 1 of 3 words).

On one occasion it regenerated the same image again, ignoring my instructions to edit.

I get the feeling that this model is optimised for images with people in it than objects or drawings etc
