Why GPT's image generator keeps giving you the same picture
Users are observing that GPT's image generator frequently produces similar-looking images across diverse prompts, a phenomenon attributed not to a malfunction but to the model's training data. This tendency is explained by the concept of 'gravity wells' in learned distributions, where the model is pulled towards the most represented visual styles in its training corpus, often dominated by stock photography and earlier generative outputs. The convergence of outputs is a diagnostic tool, revealing the statistical fingerprint of the training data, which heavily influences the default aesthetic of generated images. AI
