Excuse me, what?
- Stefan-H 8mo agoThe image is watermarked from gemini, so presumably the author was trying to allay concerns that the important content was fake.
- idiotsecant 8mo agoThat doesn't answer the question of why you would use an LLM to blue your monitor when there are a thousand ways to do it yourself
- usefulposter 8mo agoThe same reason today's inexperienced programmers depend totally on NextTailVibeJSFlare. It's all they know.

- StopDisinfo910 8mo agoWhy not? You send the picture and ask to blur the monitor in plain text. It gives you back the picture with a blurred monitor. That seems like a very easy way to do the job. What's the issue specifically?
- DonHopkins 8mo agoBecause bluing yourself is messy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GYtgFdXCGE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GYtgFdXCGE
- leothetechguy 8mo agoHonestly, if these image models still use diffusion with random seeds at their core, it might be actually more secure than blurring it yourself.
- nkaz123 8mo agoYeah essentially this. The irony of about wanting to obscure information by submitting it to a model API isn't lost on me, but it was the easiest way I could think of. Wanted some way of making the most key content in my picture to be the only thing unblurred
