This happened with an academic conference (physics iirc). A professor was asked to speak and she submitted a headshot for use in their advertising, but the conference wanted a different aspect ratio. Rather than crop the image, the materials designer asked ChatGPT to expand the photo to the correct size. It gave the professor a low cut shirt, and no one at the conference company noticed until the promotional materials were distributed and the professor contacted them.

I instantly thought of exactly the same article. Compared to text, image generators seem much more prone to this kind of shit, just spitting society's worst impulses back at us because that's what its been trained to mimic via advertising.
This sounds a little made up. But it could also be true.
I hate this timeline for reasons like this.
I remember it but it was hard to find. Might have been the case of Elizabeth Lazarki

The twitter link from the article for those that want it
Wow. Thanks for providing a reference.
It's a bug, the translucent rectangle that usually goes behind the time stamp along the bottom right corner of a preview is bugged to the left. Happens to me from time to time
Example
Or, hear me out, the app is trying to give that field cleavage in your examples. Big ol' grass titties of mother earth.
...i'm listening
Great...tracts of land.
It's working for me
Don't bully Earth-chan.
Tnx for validating, I thought I was going crazy. Happy that it isn't some AI shenanigans going on ๐ฎโ๐จ
middle aged cis guy here. Thinking of opening a WhatsApp account to see if it will give me cleavage.
Enlarge your breasts with one weird trick. Doctors hate it!
Me too, but if I wore a v neck there'd be too much hair to tell.
Plot twist: the AI gives you a hairy set of badonkers
Wtf? Is this real?
It looks like a translucent black rectangular overlay that happens to line up with the chest to me.
Why they have it I'm not sure...
That's what it is. The same rectangle exists on pictures of the ocean I recently sent to someone on Whatsapp. Just a weird UI bug I guess.
It's on all pictures I send. Placement varies depending on image format.
Very much so.. no fucking idea why tho
Cleavage? Those look like pecs. Gurl can bench!
A lot of photos have the problem of photo preview having a weird shadow in the middle of the picture, its a recent update
Yep this has happened to other ppl too
Beta testing the residual self image filterโฆ your boobies have been inserted into the matrix.
Wtf
