ComfyUI vs GPT-4o & Gemini: Is Local Image Generation Dying? (Inpainting, Control, Composition)

I compared ComfyUI (Flux, SD 3.5, SDXL) to GPT-4o, Gemini and Copilot for inpainting, ControlNet/control and composition. If you’re deciding between local image generation vs cloud LLM image tools, this shows strengths, weaknesses and real workflow trade-offs. 👀 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN • Which LOCAL model actually beats cloud on CONTROL & iterative refinement • Where cloud wins (speed / zero setup) vs where it still lags (precision, privacy) • Inpainting & structure control: Flux / SD 3.5 vs GPT‑4o / Gemini • Text-in-image & styling consistency: tradeoffs explained • 2025 outlook: will l…
