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.

I instantly thought of exactly the same article. Compared to text, image generators seem much more prone to this kind of shit, just spitting society's worst impulses back at us because that's what its been trained to mimic via advertising.

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

I hate this timeline for reasons like this.

I remember it but it was hard to find. Might have been the case of Elizabeth Lazarki
