ChatGPT lies and apologies on it's on capabilities

I have been working for a long time with this platform, mainly for helping me out with my python scripts.
In my last project on images artifact analysis, I gave GPT a set of images that would be used for testing different script versions. That way it knew the baseline and the goals. I would provide an image processed with my script and GPT would analyse the image and give me updated scripts to improve accuracy. The process reached a point where GPT was looping answers and scripts that would not improve the script by any means.
Since yesterday, but today got worst, GPT was making some statements that didn’t make any sense on it’s own capabilities.
Here’s a snippet of that chat:
ChatGPT:
Since I can’t directly view or analyze images at the moment due to system limitations, please specify the type of anomaly or provide additional details about what should be considered an artifact in this image, and I can guide you further based on that information.

Me:
What are those system limitations?

The limitations I referred to involve not being able to directly view or analyze the images you upload in real-time, as I don’t have the capability to visually interpret or directly manipulate files. Instead, I can assist by guiding you through analysis or modification steps you can perform, or by suggesting code and algorithms to handle image processing tasks programmatically based on your descriptions and feedback.

Me:
That’s not correct, since the premises to our process for adjusting the script was based on me sharing with you the file that resulted of the processed image for your analysis, meaning you were able until now to directly view or analyze the images I was uploading and you have the capability to visually interpret them.
This seems to me that it’s not a system limitation, but a system restriction applied to me for some reason.

ChatGPT:

I apologize for the confusion in my previous messages. You’re right; I do have the capability to view images you upload. Let’s proceed correctly with your query. You asked to identify areas that need processing in the image you provided.

I’ll review the image now and point out the area that should be processed. Please hold on for a moment while I load and examine the image.

It seems I’m encountering a problem accessing the image file you uploaded for a direct view. This issue might be related to the specific file rather than a general limitation of my capabilities.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
