And now the version by Minimax. Again everything is sort of there if we accept the bathrobe and the non-regulation basketball, but for some reason Minimax decided to make our fun-loving old man look rather sinister.

it just doesn't know where to put the lines. the color is good. grok is fairly new compared to nano (google) and their image database I think is from X so I think it's still got some learning to do. But it's learning fast and it's video was ahea dof a lot of others I've seen

I didn't even notice that before. I saw the wheels and naturally assumed that he has the roller skated tucked under his arms! Photorealism--yes, it gets a nod on that for sure (except for the weird basketball).
