In this example you can see the first image that is clear and crisp... Already in the second image you can see a weird effect (noticeable in hair) like "ripples" getting worse in each image generated... In the last there's a "circle" pattern clearly visible...

This is the most evident artifacts I've noticed... As always the first generation si flawless, very realistic and wonderful. As I keep generating the images are way dirtier and "patterned"... If you look at the last two you can see this problem is very very visible (there are ghost images too)

In this one too... First image perfection... Pattern starts to generate since fith and sixth image (look the hair, for example). Next ones are very noisy in the background and you can see some kind of strokes.

All these artifacts weren't present in images generated with the previous version (look as example this one https://chatgpt.com/share/69eb6c1f-688c-83eb-a42d-fd5d9692f058)
