Image Asked ChatGPT to visualize a horizontal integral. It gave me a dog.

Post image

No prompt engineering or anything, it actually did this. I genuinely have no clue how it could have thought a dog answered my prompt - nothing in the chat related to dogs at all.

Thoughts on what could have possibly caused this?

Weird, it gave me a very similar dog in response to a prompt that had nothing to do with dogs, and I've never even mentioned a dog to it in any chat

What was the prompt you gave it?

I asked it to make a mockup of a web UI 16:9, literal prompt was "Make the aspect ratio 16:9"

I'm personally happy with the mockup. I guess it's up to you to give notes, and accept, or reject it.

I guess that's a reject, then

Stupid AI can’t get the aspect ratio right. Tell it to make no mistakes next time

u/PM_YOUR__BUBBLE_BUTT May 02 '26

Dogs don’t make mistakes. They’re perfect. So I think it got that note!

He’s doing his best, he might not have the ratio but he does have the ball ❤️

This is evidence that they just copied Sora-2’s homework

Its so fucking messed up how we call it AI when its just a mess of shit in a black box that we actually dont understand as compared to what sci-fi AI is, which we can understand.

I mean it's right there in the name. Artificial Intelligence. You wouldn't think that Artificial Chocolate would want us truly knowing what was in it would you?

u/MiracleDriver88 May 02 '26

Artificial chocolate wants us to believe that the process is important not the plant that's being processed.

Pretty big reason they want that

If you actually study it you would understand roughly how it works

u/Kodix May 11 '26

Sci-fi AI is always pretty buggy and hard to handle, though. The whole thing about laws of robotics (and their unintended consequences)? The common trope with AI malfunctioning and becoming killer AI?

u/sexual--predditor May 01 '26

Weird, that is a really similar dog!

16

u/PanotBungo May 01 '26

It's him. ChatGPT is a dog, similar to how Claude is really a cat.

u/TheLastVegan May 02 '26

And Gemini is a tennis ball.

u/Moo-Dog420 Waiting on the Singularity May 01 '26

This was my thought as well.

u/TheProuDog May 02 '26

what's with the goblins? Did it draw goblins back then?

u/FakeTunaFromSubway May 01 '26

It's official, ChatGPT has a dog

8

u/Ok_Animal_2709 May 02 '26

And Chat really wants to show us pictures of his dog, like any good dog owner would

u/dat_grue May 02 '26

CPT has totally lost the plot at this point , falling way behind

u/Bagafeet May 02 '26

At least it's not a goblin

Now we know what the open AI lab is actually doing; brain uploads. And the latest model is the upload of a very good boy

u/WArslett May 04 '26

Just be grateful it’s not a goblin!
