A PNG of an illustration of som jars filled with coffee beans on top of a pile of books. The background of the image is a grey-and-white checkerboard field, the kind that you might see on a transparent image but this is actually part of the image.

   I asked ChatGPT to make me an image with a transparent background and this is what I got.

   I can see how it got there, what with all of the pollution on the web (do a google search for "transparent PNGs" and you will get page after page of spammy image-selling thumbnails) but JFC, if anyone still thinks that the current generation of extra-large ML systems are actually "AI" then buddy do I have a "transparent" PNG to sell ya.
