So today I'd see what the models I couldn't control seed could do like GPT 1.5 low, Nano and grok. Notice Inkwash is more colorful than Ink-wash. Other art media in the prompt are pastel watercolors, pastel alcohol inks, and sepia ink A while ago I did a post comparing inkwash vs ink-wash https://budgetpixel.com/blog/the-difference-a-hyphen-makes-inkwash-versus-ink-wash In that blog post, I compared models that I could set the seed number so they were the same seed for all images showing inkwas vs ink-wash. I didn't use the newer models because most of them obfuscate the seed number and you can no longer view them easily. So I decided to give it a whirl today and see if the hyphen still makes a difference. And it did! 1. Inkwash cat, Grok 2. Ink-wash cat, Grok 3. Inkwash cat, NanoBanana 4. Ink-wash cat, NanoBanana 5. Inkwash cat, GPT 1.5 low 6. Ink-wash cat, GPT 1.5 low
