Ask HN: Why does ChatGPT image gen want pyxl.pro?

1 points| Jupe | 11 months ago

Is anyone else seeing this? When creating an image with ChatGPT's "image generator" the system won't, and says:

"image generator wants to talk to pyxl.pro"

Followed by a pill-box button that reads: "Sign in with pyxl.pro"

I managed to get rid of it (I was blocked by this) by clicking the "..." button in the input frame and choosing "Create image" which was prepended to my prompt.

No idea what happened there... I have a valid/paid account, no browser extensions... strange stuff.

Actually, I have to re-do this operation to get rid of it. Each time I reload my browser. Killed browser data and still same issue.

No idea what's going on here.

This? https://openai.com/index/introducing-4o-image-generation/

Or something else?

I guess that. I have a paid account ($20/month flavor) and have the link saved. I just asked it to create an image of a landscape and it popped up this blocking request to use pyxl.pro

I found a work-around (see other comment)

Do you use a GPT to generate the image? Or only chat with ChatGPT?

Both, but much more chat-focused. I've created 20 or so images for various little home projects.
