It seems some new update might have taken place concerning how pictures files are shown in chats. I cannot say if that update is related, but now when I ask chatgpt to generate a new image based on the one I just uploaded, it now generates something entirely different instead of referencing the picture I uploaded. Everything was working fine until this new update or whatever appeared and I am using my own content, not a copyrighted character.
Okay, I posted this elsewhere, but I’ll quote myself as I discovered this along with another user:
'Yes! I also noticed that, too. Chatgpt recommended that to me, itself. I noticed that after going to the library, uploading the image there and then asking for updates made the image upload like before in the chat: So, one big image instead of showing me a tiny image with the file name next to it.
Edit: Okay…wait, I just uploaded a picture without going through that library process and the picture uploaded like before. I need to test if the model anchors to the picture.
Edit: I just tested it in regular chat, just uploading the picture in there and asking for an edit…now it seems to be working like before, again. The model referenced the uploaded picture and generated based on my instructions instead of making a brand new character. I do see new options for editing the picture when I click on it directly.’
