A Year of Progress in One Prompt

I did something fun this weekend.

I dug up an image prompt I posted a year ago.

Back then it ran on Google's "Nano Banana" model.

I ran the exact same prompt through ChatGPT's new Image 2.0.

And HOLY CRAP has the technology improved.

Same words.

Twelve months apart.

Night and day.

So I'm giving you the prompt, because you're going to want to play with this one.

Here's what it does.

It turns YOU into a collectible action figure.

Realistic 1/7 scale.

Sitting on a desk on a clear acrylic stand.

A computer screen behind it showing the 3D modeling process.

And a toy box beside it with your artwork on the front.

It's absurd how good this looks now.

Here's how to run it.

Go to ChatGPT.
Upload 1-4 full-sized photos of yourself in an outfit.
Paste this exact prompt:

"Using the nano-banana model, design a 1/7 scale commercialized figure of the illustrated character in a realistic style and setting. Position the figure on a computer desk, mounted on a clear circular acrylic base without any text. On the iMac screen, showcase the Blender modeling process of the figure. Beside the monitor, place a TAKARA-TOMY-inspired toy packaging box featuring the original artwork."

That's it.

Yes, the prompt still says "nano-banana" from a year ago.

Doesn't matter.

Image 2.0 reads the intent and nails it anyway.

And here's the real reason I'm sharing it, beyond the fun.

This is what a year of progress looks like when you can actually SEE it.

Same instruction.

Wildly better output.

Zero extra effort from you.

Every tool you gave up on twelve months ago because "the output wasn't good enough"...

Go try it again.

The tech kept moving while you weren't looking. 🫡

Run the prompt, then reply and send me your figure.

I want to see these. 😂

Did You Know?

Google just mapped the complete brain of a male fruit fly...

Every one of its 166,000 neurons.

All 125 million connections between them.

It's the most complete map of any brain ever made.

Turns out the hardest part of understanding intelligence wasn't the AI...

It was the fly. 🪰

Blu Dot surpasses 2,000% ROAS with self-serve CTV ads

Home furniture brand Blu Dot blew up on CTV with help from Roku Ads Manager. Here’s how:

After a test campaign reached 211,000 households and achieved 1,010% ROAS, the brand went all in to promote its annual sales event. It removed age and income constraints to expand reach and shifted budget to custom audiences and retargeting, where intent was strongest.

The results speak for themselves. As Blu Dot increased their investment by 10x, ROAS jumped to 2,308% and more page-view conversions surpassed 50,000.

“For CTV campaigns, Roku has been a top performer,” said Claire Folkestad, Paid Media Strategist, Blu Dot. “Comping to our other platforms, we have seen really strong ROAS… and highly efficient CPMs, lower than any other CTV partner we've worked with.”

Using Roku Ads Manager, the campaign moved from a pilot to a permanent performance engine for the brand.
