Then after the initial image, for a long time, I couldn’t find a model that came close to the quality of this image.

For example, this robot generated by DALL-E in 2024 was more like Teletubbies:

Another attempt produced a robot like EVE from the film WALL-E or like ASIMO:

Then asked to generate a robot more like from the film Robots, but the result was too bleak.

And both Gemini and Grok produced even much worse images, but I even don’t want to show here. This wasn’t progress but rather regress.
