Ask HN: Does the word "tone" break ChatGPT-4o image analysis on mobile?
"What's the tone of this conversation?"
I consistently get this response:
"Please re-upload the image as a supported format like .jpg, .png, or .webp. The current file type can't be viewed, so I can't assess the tone yet."
However, when I use the exact same image and instead ask:
"How are people feeling in this conversation?"
it responds correctly with an emotional analysis of the screenshot.
Even stranger one is when I type something like:
"I see the tone of the response has changed"
the app just shows the black flashing square (as if it's thinking), but never returns a response.
It seems like the word "tone" might be breaking something in the input parsing or triggering a silent failure. Has anyone else run into this? Could this be a prompt classification edge case or a bug in the image pipeline?
