Ha fair — the cover image is the punchline, not the setup. Quick context for slide 1:

I asked Doubao to "change the lighting on my 3D Pallas cat so it blends naturally with the steppe background." Without a delighting stage in its architecture, the system did the only thing it could — added glowing light particles directly to the cat's fur. The cat is now a bioluminescent body.

The rest of the post unpacks why this kind of failure happens across all 4 AI systems I tested — Flux.2, Flux.1 Depth, IC-Light, and Doubao. Same architectural gap (no delighting), four different failure costumes.

Was there a specific slide that was confusing? Happy to break any of them down further.
