> ChatGPT is replying to a prompt, there is nothing “Spontaneously” about this.
The spontaneity isn't that ChapGPT woke up and sent this to the author. The spontaneity is that ChatGPT was asked to restore an image that was attached without filtering it, and when no image was attached, instead of generating an error message, it cobbled together random outputs, some of which included graphic, disturbing imagery.
> Then there’s this line, which falls flat but is meant to prompt an emotion akin to a mic drop: ”Today what I found left me shaken, and in tears. This is rare.”
That you've deadened your humanity to such a degree as to be incapable of empathy is not a valid criticism of the piece.
> It’s the same as asking google for gore photos. Garbage in, garbage out.
Where in their prompt is the term gore? Further, if it was in the prompt, why on earth did OpenAI's generator accept it as a valid input?

But that's not what happened. The missing image was described as "graphic" or "violent." If I were to receive an email with that request and a missing attachment, my imagination certainly would not conjure images of butterflies & unicorns. Seems the model is working as designed.
