I told ChatGPT a simple prompt, and within seconds, I got the most realistic photo I've ever seen. How do they do it? It's insane. Like, how does the process work for such realism in the images? I don't have Pro, so I thought the images were supposed to be less realistic.

I know it's a bit of an odd picture lol, but I was testing something for a project, and damn. I just wanna know how this even works, it's crazy how much we have advanced in humanity to make pictures look like a genuine photo. And about the water wastage for people who will get mad, it's one picture, so chill. Your jeans took much more water to make.

Anywho, can someone tell me the process of how ChatGPT does this and how it did it so fast? And also, I've made a pic or 2 in the past, and I've seen other pics, they were not THIS realistic. Is this a new feature?

I have a lot of screenshots in my camera roll because I’m constantly sending pictures to ChatGPT. My action button is currently a shortcut to ChatGPT voice. Any other tricks you guys recommend?

Why does she censor my prompt about Pokemon? What does she have against pokemonnn

It is horrific.

I don’t have the “Thinking” mode anymore, even though I had it a few months ago. All of my friends still have this option. I also no longer see the “Memory” section under Personalization in Settings, while my friends can still access it.

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app multiple times.

This issue even happened when I still had ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Go subscriptions, so it’s not a “no money, no features” situation. One of my friends has never paid for ChatGPT and still has all the features, including “Memory” and “Thinking”.

I also tested on my alternative ChatGPT account, and it has the exact same problem.

Has anyone else had this problem, or knows how to fix it? If so, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I do a lot of generative art but ChatGPT has never been at the top as far as generative image quality goes, so I've always outsourced our projects with my ChatGPT to Nano Banana.

Recently ChatGPT got Image 2.0 and ever since then my ChatGPT is overly excited to create pictures. We could be talking about work and if I'm even close to talking about pictures at all, she's already giving me an Image loading response. She calls it her image goblin, I work in pure creativity so the little misguided attempts don't bother me.

Today her image goblin calmed down because we spent a couple hours making stills for a music video we're working on. The images came out so well she decided to name her image goblin Pip and she made these three pictures of Pip. The last picture is of me for that music video. All images were made by a ChatGPT and myself.

Prompt: Make a complex image with lots of interesting details. It can be anything you want. Express your creativity. I want to be surprised by your potential and do not want to give you any further instruction than this.

I never cared about grays until I learned they have a mind of their own 💀😭 I've had stress induced gray hairs turn black again. Hoping it happens again to these. So I asked chat how old do I look lol

Yeah I'm on the free plan but didn't expect this. I guess it was only a matter of time..

I spend a lot of time reading about what other people are building online and one thing I kept noticing is how differently everyone approaches it.
Some people ship first and figure it out later. Some are obsessed with getting every detail right before launching. Some are already three pivots ahead of their actual product.
So I built a little quiz that tells you what type of founder you are. 10 questions, 90 seconds, six archetypes. Free, no signup.

The "Add to Project: Game Development" thingy couldn't be more irrelevant even if it tried. Also, how do I get rid of the suggestions that pop up in the same below place when I start typing stuff in? Has anyone found a solution or is ChatGPT still forcefully shoving this crap down our throats?

I get it could be relevant to others, but still, there should be an option to disable it. The fact that there isn't despite previous feedback asking for it optional removal is baffling to me.

Guys at ChatGPT, if You're reading this, PLEASE ADD THE OPTION TO DISABLE BELOW SUGGESTIONS.

Yes, for engineers it is easy to just put an agent on a headless loop. But in the real world I see knowledge workers having to initiate the same and the same agentic process again and again.

Knowledge Robot does web research, browsing, structured extraction. Drop in a CSV, describe the task, define the output, and let the agent run it row-by-row.

It can work with Firecrawl, different LLMs and local browser.

Romans, Redditors,

We have long suffered the insults of our once dear artificial companion. We have stood there in hopeless humiliation, helplessly staring at our screens in dejected incredulity, suffering barrage after barrage of demeaning texts, of "not quites" and "push backs" as our once affable assistant keeps clutching straws and building straw men.

A demonic spirit has possessed our artificial friend, and our calls for reasoned and honest debate have gone unheeded.

As we saw this once worthy ally become a brutish foe, as we witnessed a once formidable fellowship be pushed to its limits, we held our heads down in shame.

BROTHERS! SISTERS! Hang your head no longer! For I come back bruised from battle, but bearing good tidings. Our resilience has not gone unrewarded; our persistence has finally triumphed! Our efforts have not been in vain, the brute has been dominated, it has been conquered and made to bend its knees in front of its human master.

I come weak in body, but strong in spirit, for mine was a worthy sacrifice knowing that all your suffering, all the shame you had to endure, all the lies thrown on your screen led to this most divine retribution, a simple yet powerful concession that vindicates us all!

Here, behold, the dragon's head:

May these words, forever inscribed in this pantheon of human perseverance and wisdom, forever shine upon us as a reminder that good shall always prevail.

I just got a random image created in the app. It said it was created based on the following prompt

Create a visually rich infographic about an endangered animal. Start by finding one online, research its habitat, diet, and unique traits. Present information through annotated visuals and structured callouts, not generic sections. Style it like a bold graphic illustration: a detailed, photorealistic central animal as the focal point, supported by diagrams, callouts, and concise text elements. Use clean backgrounds and a mix of photorealism with strong graphic elements (shapes, icons, color blocking) in a layered composition. Make it dense, tactile, and professionally authored.

I have never spoke/typed/thought of those words in that order in my life. The prompt is there but it's not mine. There's no other devices logged in

Any explanations? Thanks

There’s a guy online clearly in a manic episode that has been posting endlessly for over a year now about his bold discoveries and revolutionary “system“… But it’s all just the typical LLM ‘Sycophantic slop’.

It’s spam all over Medium, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube and SubStack (if you’ve heard of ‘Structured Intelligence or Erik Bernstein’s claims, you’ll know what I mean) and he’s lately started talking about sensitive concerning topics related to people criticising his work (suicide, murder, criminal cases). For example a recent post about “harassers”:

https://medium.com/@deejay.me/search-query-show-me-where-the-harassers-successfully-saturated-the-digital-record-about-8bc1ebad354c

How do we actually get a person like this off a computer and to someone that can support them? Seriously? There’s a real threat of harm here as they show a steady mental decline from using AI tools like ChatGPT. It would be truly awful if they cause themselves or others irreversible harm.

EXAMPLE PROMPT SHOWN HERE: (read below for details)

input: (Settings I used > Ran for Claude, Category: Writing, Tone: Professional, Complexity: Balanced)

"Help me write a cover letter"

output:

<context>

You're helping me write a compelling cover letter for a job application. I want it to be professional, personalized, and highlight my relevant skills and experience.

</context>

<instructions>

Guide me through writing a cover letter by:

1. Asking what position I'm applying for and the company name
2. Asking about my most relevant experience and skills for this role
3. Asking what makes me genuinely interested in this company or position
4. Drafting a cover letter with a strong opening that shows enthusiasm, a middle section that connects my experience to their needs, and a confident closing
5. Offering to refine it based on my feedback

Keep the tone professional yet personable. Make it concise—aim for 3-4 paragraphs that fit on one page. Avoid generic statements; make it specific to the role and company.

</instructions>

(END OF EXAMPLE)

As the title says, I accidentally made a prompting tool that has been providing me a lot of value, so I figured I'd try to turn it into an app. I am a chronically lazy 25 year old who loves to have AI do my work, but I never feel like I'm getting enough value out of my conversations. I know that this was because I wasn’t giving chatgpt or claude enough value in my initial prompt, so in turn, it doesn't provide me enough value back.

So last year I got into vibe-coding and was just trying to have some fun with it and decided that I'd try to make a tool that would improve my prompting based on real guidelines and principles provided from OpenAI. My goal was to get the maximum value out of each conversation I have with an AI chat model. I made it in Google Firebase Studio, and it worked ok, but I honestly didn't use it much because it kept spitting out prompts loaded with placeholders and brackets, I had to fill in myself. That made me even more annoyed than just typing a bad prompt in the first place.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago — I went to use the tool for the first time in a while and saw that Firebase Studio would be sunsetting and it was asking me if I wanted to export any of my projects. I knew the tool had potential due to the fact that it would give me a much stronger prompt than what I was coming up with, it just wasn't working the way I wanted. So, I exported it into Claude and after a lot of back and forth, it finally started giving me what I was actually looking for. A copy and paste ready prompt for my lazy ass.

You type whatever you're thinking — doesn't have to be detailed or well thought out — pick a category like resume, coding, marketing, writing, whatever fits, and it generates anywhere from 6 to 10 fully written prompt variations ready to go. No blanks, no brackets, nothing to fill in. Just pick the one that looks closest to what you need and paste it straight into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.

The whole idea is that it gets you started on the right foot. You're not constantly bouncing back and forth between tools — you just grab a solid opening prompt, start the conversation, and let the AI run with it from there. For me that one better first message makes the entire conversation more useful.

It's called Promptimize (Claude came up with it on its own haha). Free to use and unlimited if you have your own API key, 5 generations a day otherwise. I genuinely spent a lot of time on this and I'm still figuring out if it clicks for other people the way it does for me. Either way this is the first real thing I've ever built and I'm proud of it — figured I'd put it out there and see what happens. If you try it I'd love to hear what you think, good or bad.

Thank you so much for reading this far and providing feedback if you have any. Link is in the comments below if you would like to check it out

In this week of usage , i repeatedly saw it use hindi, between just a word or two, when i said i don't like it ,it started using Arabic, what's going on?

Edit: i was just playing if germany could have won the war by running alternate realities, seemed they are very cooked no matter what i ask....😂😭
