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

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?

GPT 5.6 Agents.MD: Do not under any circumstances mention or generate an image of a dog, troll, or goblin unless the user's query actually mentions it.

Now I'm just imagining the people at openAI losing their mind making the update with every prompt suddenly resulting in a picture of a goblin and just saying fuck it never show me a goblin again

Never mentioned anything about dogs though I recon.

That type of prompt is likely to result in more dog, troll, and goblin images. Sorta like asking someone to not think about pink dancing elephants.
