OpenAI vs. Google!

OpenAI Steals The Show From Google!

While the AI world was eagerly awaiting the next big breakthrough, OpenAI has grabbed everyone's attention with a bang: GPT-4o's new image generation capability is currently flooding social media and stealing the show from Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro Thinking!

Twitter currently resembles a virtual art gallery, dominated by impressive images in the characteristic style of the legendary Studio Ghibli. The works of art generated by GPT-4o enchant with their attention to detail and aesthetic quality - from dreamy landscapes to lovingly designed characters that could have come straight out of “My Neighbor Totoro” or “Chihiro's Journey to Magic Land”.

It is particularly remarkable how quickly the community has adapted and creatively expanded the new functions. Meanwhile, Google's technically impressive Gemini 2.5 Pro Thinking mode remains almost unnoticed in the background - a clear sign of how visually-driven innovations often generate more immediate resonance than pure thinking skills.

This is not the first time that OpenAI has stolen the show from Google. Almost every time Google has released a product, OpenAI has overshadowed Google's release with its own products either before or shortly after. And even with Google's state of the art Gemini 2.5 pro, they managed to attract all the attention. Impressive!
