Grok "Speed" vs. "Quality"

There was a weird update for desktop users of Grok Imagine that happened sometime in the last few days where image generation now has the option to priorities "speed" or "quality."

It doesn't look like that has been implemented as the mobile app yet.

And I am not sure how I feel about it yet.

Part of it is that I don't necessarily like the "quality" images better than the "speed" images.

Part of it is that I don't think "speed" and "quality" are the right descriptors - it's really more like "realistic" vs. "stylized," and even then I don't know if that is entirely accurate.

I've posted some images for comparison sake. The first 4 images were created using the "speed" setting - the remaining 4 were created using the "quality" setting. This was the prompt:

>A highly detailed and realistic cinematic portrait with vibrant colors, 8k resolution, Leica camera aesthetic, 85mm lens aesthetic, soft diffuse natural lighting, dynamic and dramatic camera angle. A nude woman with a pale curvy body, goth makeup, pixel art tattoos and shoulder-length black hair, wearing neon green stockings and neon green bunny ears, standing in a crowded and smoky arcade while playing a classic arcade game called Shadow Doll. The scene is dominated by rich yellow and green color tones

I need to run some different prompts through it and see what it outputs with both settings. I'll probably have a website post at some point about it.
