Sorry, tangent, but does anyone remember the AI zoom in some old phone camera that was hallucinating a celebrity's face? It was much before the moon zoom hallucinations.

I think you are referring to this: https://petapixel.com/2020/08/17/gigapixel-ai-accidentally-a... Discussed 4 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24196650

Yes! That was it! Thanks! I looked for hours...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's the bit that puzzles me the most though: you want that bit gone , so why would it fill in what that shimmer looks like? If there's an airplane in the sky that you want gone from a medieval movie frame, so you select the airplane and select "remove", surely it doesn't fill in an airplane because that's the closest match for what's being selected? I must be missing something obvious but I don't see it mentioned…

What does gone mean though? You aren’t just drawing a black or transparent spot underneath what you want removed. You’re filling it in with the most likely background. Which is not a trivial operation. It’s an AI generative fill which is obviously unpredictable. You’d expect it to generate ocean but it drew a bitcoin. That’s just how AI generative fill works. You keep running it until it looks how you want.

> What does gone mean though?

Anything but the original. That the original might have shimmered (or otherwise looked like) this Bitcoin icon, should have no bearing on what it chooses to put there
