A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Well, assuming that a tool that is marketed as "smart" and "able to reason" is true was your first mistake, Akshay. It doesn't surprise the rest of us. An image generator tool will "generate image" when that is in the instructions. Of course it cannot reason that the "image to be restored is blank", its job in this case is to generate an image related to "no questions, no explanations".
Why would interrogating it yield any truth? It can't explain it's 'reasoning' because it didn't, it generated. And it'll generate responses to your questions.
"Why did you make creepy image?" "I didn't" "yeah you did" "your 100% right to pushback, I guess I did"
