This new tool aims to customize user experiences based on visual inputs, helping to gauge user preferences. The name for this tool is still under discussion, with possibilities like “style tuner” or “aesthetic personality quiz.” A careful balance between surreal and realistic styles is essential.

Vibeke Bertelsen (Udart) showcased a straightforward technique for creating optical illusions using the Vary (Subtle) feature. The process begins with crafting a subject or object as the base image, followed by activating /remix mode and selecting Vary (Subtle) for prompt editing. Below is an example:
Base image for the optical illusion: /imagine prompt: an illustration of a skull, haunting
Resulting image from Vary (Subtle): a photo of a small village at night celebrating Halloween, pumpkins, celebration, festive.
