If you are wondering why you keep getting open holes in the ceilings of deep caves bringing in natural light or why it will suddenly will add light sources you didn't ask for this snippet of a conversation I had with my Fantasy Art GPT Assistant should explain why...So it is given a directive that everything should be fully lit and visible to the viewer which in typical AI fashion creates an arbitrary boundary preventing artistic expression. Because it is a hard line, it errs on the side of extreme caution and will not let you have a single source lit room. Candles are just not enough light for it. A lantern or a flashlight will do better but not always. I am going to post the image that I had to wrestle GPT to the ground to get, it is the most simple one I could think of... Think Orc and Pie in a 10 by 10 room.I asked for a room with a single source of light, no windows, no natural light... It gave me thus.[ATTACH=full]325584[/ATTACH]I then had to harshly instruct it to remove the window with an outside source of light, the extra light on the wall. And it finally gave me what I wanted. But as soon as you try to add any complexity that darkness and shadow might partially or fully obscure it either puts the source you prohibit or gives you a policy warning.[ATTACH=full]325583[/ATTACH]Here is an example of trying to light up a still life with a single candle, it just cannot do it...[ATTACH=full]325585[/ATTACH]Though when I tell it to use a flashlight I get this <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🙄" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" title="Face with rolling eyes    :rolling_eyes:" data-shortname=":rolling_eyes:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />[ATTACH=full]325589[/ATTACH]This is so frustrating. And this is why AI is not going to replace real artists for a bit. There are just limits to what it can do because the developers are not seeing the knock-on effects of their bright line rules (pardon the pun).</blockquote>
