Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Riley Goodside (prominent AI/prompting researcher) shares a ChatGPT-4o-generated image that recursively depicts a Wikipedia article about itself, containing a nested copy of itself — a demonstration of image-generation self-reference and the model's characteristic text-rendering glitches/garbling at small scale. Interesting artifact of AI image-gen capability/limitation from a well-known AI researcher's account.
