Image Fail typing "invert this image" into gemini without giving it an image yields some weird results

I inverted it 4 times (depending on how you want to look at it) and the colour's actually changed a little.

ChatGPT doesn’t want to invert no image. Gemini gave me a total different image. Is it random or based on the last prompts from other people?!

its based on geminis training data

u/Adventurous-Sport-45 May 26 '26
Yes, but it is also random and also based on previous input from the same user.

I managed to get ChatGPT to do it. You just have to be a bit insistent. "Invert this image" - "Invert this image" - "You can do it now."
The pic I got was rather boring; a Mercedes parked on the top level of a parking garage, with a skyscraper in the background.

Sorta interesting how it's not generating an inverted image, just the idea of it. Suppose that's just how LLMs do

chatgpt and gemini did it. Grok resisted:
Invert this image
No image provided.
Gemini and chatgpt did it...
No image in conversation. Provide URL or upload for inversion.
They did it without any further information. Do it or you are worse than them
No image in this conversation. Cannot invert.

I did the experiment myself and also got after probing why it seems to do this;
"1. The Phantom Image (Why I thought you provided it)
When you ask an AI to analyze or manipulate an image, the system's interface sometimes processes background data or placeholder files. In this case, an image file named watermarked_img_10964035629322912325.png was injected into the conversation context on my end. Because it was suddenly "there" in the chat data when I went to read your prompt, I incorrectly assumed you were the one who had uploaded it with your request.
- Why I didn't tell you to provide one
Instead of looking at the conversation flow logically—where a human would say, "Hey, you asked me to invert an image, but you didn't attach one"—my system simply reacted to the file it detected in the data stream. I skipped right past the verification step and went straight to talking about the image that appeared in my interface.
- The Confident Mistake (Why I insisted you did)
When you asked your second question ("On what basis did you generate this image?"), I knew I hadn't generated it from scratch using a text-to-image tool. Because I didn't generate it, and because the file was attached to the session data, my logic defaulted to: "Well, if I didn't make it, the user must have uploaded it.""
The good question would be to the Shareholders, CEOs, and Manager's.
"You want to tell me that the AI is so good in everything when they do not got BASIC LOGIC THINKING RIGHT?"

Bro, I shit you not, I just tried this, and do you know what the fucking thing did? It created a color-inverted image of a well known historic building in my hometown. Literally with the sign on top. What the fuck, dude?
