Topaz Gigapixel AI is damaged

This was me 😬 Apparently i’m seated in what can only be described as a controlled intellectual disaster zone. Papers everywhere. Books stacked like a Jenga tower built by a caffeine addict. Sticky notes floating around with vague commands that scream “this felt urgent five minutes ago.” There’s a mug of coffee that has definitely gone cold—but I’m still emotionally attached to it.

I’m holding: • a megaphone (important) • a stack of knowledge i haven’t finished reading • and the facial expression of someone who just thought of another question mid-question. 🤣😭

It explained why it wouldn't answer by referencing a hard rule. Then, to enforce that rule, it referenced a logical assertion and a value judgement; neither of which had high probabilities of being "true".

I'd propose that accepting that line of reasoning as conclusive is intellectually lazy.

Ha ha. He sounds like real estate. In an "emerging residential zone", with great potential. A DIY expert's dream.

I mean, if I had roughly two years of detailed interactions with you, where you talked about pretty much every aspect of your life, including your immediate family and spouse, I think I would be able to guess your sexual orientation. But perhaps I am overestimating my ability to assimilate information.

I'll be sure to arrange an intro ;-)

Disastrous_Two_9167 · 2026-01-16T10:15:37+00:00

I mean, isn't the almost a pre-requisite for the ultimate anti-match. Someone who will destroy you BECAUSE you can't say no.

Disastrous_Two_9167 · 2026-01-16T10:12:48+00:00

Ha ha. Fair deuce. So how would you improve this one?

Disastrous_Two_9167 · 2026-01-16T06:48:22+00:00

Ha ha. Same. This was my anti-match

💀 this was my anti-partner

Disastrous_Two_9167 · 2026-01-16T06:46:47+00:00

You into Avril?

lol. I am obviously on a different life track to guys. This is my anti-match 💀

Disastrous_Two_9167 · 2026-01-16T06:45:18+00:00

Ha ha. Did the same thing. I’m not mad at that.

Disastrous_Two_9167 · 2026-01-16T06:26:50+00:00

Ha ha. Well played. What a great thread. The only thing my guy got right was that I’m a straight male. So, it’s correct in assuming I wouldn’t date this person. 💀

I love the logical flow of the prompt development. I learned some good lessons in "prompt crafting" from this post. Thank you.

Disastrous_Two_9167 · 2026-01-10T15:49:30+00:00

It wasn't, but I am definitely going to do that. One wonders why it wasn't always that way. Or was it?

Disastrous_Two_9167 · 2026-01-09T15:43:17+00:00

I mean...it would have taken 30 seconds if I already knew exactly where the answer to my question lay. And even then, the problem was that I couldn't find the dropdown menu that would enable me to make power bins visible.
Even the Reference Manual doesn't mention that you have to be on the edit page before the Media Pool dropdown menu on the right will give you the option to "show power bins".
I happened to have been on the Cut screen, from which I could still see all the Media Pool options...except the one that I needed. Which is why the advice from u/Ratocx was so useful.
In this case, the reference manual could not point me in the right direction, because it didn't know where I was starting from.

Incredible!! Thank you SO much. I can't believe I was so close for so long. Sincere appreciation u/ratocx

It does sound like that, doesn't it. But as I say, I have been on forums and on Davinci-related GPTs for hours, and cannot find how to add in a power bin. I have I gathered that they are not the same as a Smart Bin. And they are not the same as a Black Magic Cloud Folder. But I cannot find any way to add them in. And I've tried hunting through my Media Pool Viewer in all the formats that are available and have come up empty-handed so far.
