This happened with an academic conference (physics iirc). A professor was asked to speak and she submitted a headshot for use in their advertising, but the conference wanted a different aspect ratio. Rather than crop the image, the materials designer asked ChatGPT to expand the photo to the correct size. It gave the professor a low cut shirt, and no one at the conference company noticed until the promotional materials were distributed and the professor contacted them.

    This sounds a little made up. But it could also be true.

    I hate this timeline for reasons like this.

    It's a bug, the translucent rectangle that usually goes behind the time stamp along the bottom right corner of a preview is bugged to the left. Happens to me from time to time

    Example

    Or, hear me out, the app is trying to give that field cleavage in your examples. Big ol' grass titties of mother earth.

    It looks like a translucent black rectangular overlay that happens to line up with the chest to me.

    Why they have it I'm not sure...

    That's what it is. The same rectangle exists on pictures of the ocean I recently sent to someone on Whatsapp. Just a weird UI bug I guess.

    This is not what it is. You can see the bottom of the v neck in the picture on the right. The cleavage was added to skin that was visible in the original shot. It is not skin that was below the image on the right.

    Yes, Whatsapp adds a black rectangle to the bottom left of the image thumbnail for all images. I see it every morning when I send a picture of today's calendar puzzle to my family.

    Here you can see it. Same thing. It's on all pictures I send. Placement varies depending on image format.

  • I misunderstood your statement. I thought you meant a solid black rectangle along the entire bottom of the image. The picture you posted shows me that you mean a transparent black rectangle in the bottom left corner. The edge of that rectangle lines up exactly with where OPs apparent cleavage appears. The black shirt and their picture hid the rest of the effect. Thank you for helping me see it.
