ChatGPT's 2.0 Image Generator Is Corrupting Iterative Edits — 'It's Like a Virus Spreading Over the Whole Generation'
An r/ChatGPT post with screenshots (74 upvotes, 37 comments) documents a specific, reproducible failure in the 2.0 image generator: using a generated image as a reference or changing a single detail produces strange patterns across every texture — skin, ground, rock, metal — plus white dots on cloth and armor, with each re-generation compounding the artifacts. The poster says multi-step editing is effectively unusable and that starting a new chat and using GPT's own suggested prompts don't fix it. Worth tracking for anyone with an image pipeline that depends on iterative refinement rather than one-shot generation; no OpenAI acknowledgment has been published.
