Glad you enjoyed the technical postmortem!
I agree with what you said, but I think it's reductive for a few reasons:
- It was (and still is) amazing to me that GPT Image 2.0 was this good at making a coherent manga page in one shot.
- This project was focused mainly on the animation pipeline, not the manga page content.
- As with all things AI, it is up to the user's creative direction to make the output good. I did not give much creative direction at all to the example manga page, thus the AI catchphrases. With some guidance, this seems to be a very promising way to get your manga ideas onto "paper" quickly if you desire.
