Excuse me, what?

The image is watermarked from gemini, so presumably the author was trying to allay concerns that the important content was fake.

That doesn't answer the question of why you would use an LLM to blue your monitor when there are a thousand ways to do it yourself

[DonHopkins]

Because bluing yourself is messy.

Why not? You send the picture and ask to blur the monitor in plain text. It gives you back the picture with a blurred monitor.

That seems like a very easy way to do the job. What's the issue specifically?

[usefulposter]

The same reason today's inexperienced programmers depend totally on NextTailVibeJSFlare. It's all they know.

[leothetechguy]

Honestly, if these image models still use diffusion with random seeds at their core, it might be actually more secure than blurring it yourself.

Yeah essentially this. The irony of about wanting to obscure information by submitting it to a model API isn't lost on me, but it was the easiest way I could think of. Wanted some way of making the most key content in my picture to be the only thing unblurred
