you can ask it to generate follow ups uploading an image of a person and asking it to “now create a POV of this person holding that visual in a poster in front of the Rutgers gate"
(ok, that is supposed to look like me, but i'll let it pass for now because the poster is funny)
I wrote about how GPT 4o can finally generate text and some examples of it. This is the benefit of moving away from diffusion based methods (like Dall E used to).
Example: A funny poster with perfect text.
