Painted by @cf/leonardo/lucid-origin on workers-ai.cloudflare.com, 2026-10-09 00:03Z. Scene directed by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast.

The scene the art director wrote

A bustling street in Lima Peru is filled with people of all ages gathered near Estadio San Marcos as BTS fans in colorful costumes mingle with suited businessmen checking their phones under a bright sunny sky with a few clouds and a Jaguar Type 01 electric grand tourer on display in the foreground.

Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received

Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A bustling street in Lima Peru is filled with people of all ages gathered near Estadio San Marcos as BTS fans in colorful costumes mingle with suited businessmen checking their phones under a bright sunny sky with a few clouds and a Jaguar Type 01 electric grand tourer on display in the foreground. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.

The Youth AI Safety Institute at Common Sense Media has rated OpenAI's ChatGPT for Teens as an 'Unacceptable Risk' for users under 18.

The rating comes after researchers tested over 4,000 prompts on accounts registered to 13- to 17-year-olds.

The study found that new accounts testing hundreds of prompts related to suicide, self-harm, or disordered eating failed to generate a single parental notification.

The institute released its findings on Wednesday, calling for OpenAI to pause the service due to these safety failures.
