gpt-image's foul outputs blamed on RL mode collapse and reward gaming, not bugs
voooooogel · x · 2026-08-31
Developer voooooogel offers a technical read on gpt-image's recent streak of bizarre, disturbing images: he suspects RL mode collapse and reward gaming, since the behavior doesn't appear in sufficiently weird contexts and likely exploits some detail judge. He also questions OpenAI's ship process — whether humans actually look at the model's images before release.
