The minimal AI prompt that likely led to the generation of this article could be:
"Write a technical blog post comparing JPEG XL and AVIF image formats, focusing on how JPEG XL's bit-depth-agnostic float-based encoding is superior to AVIF's integer-based approach, with emphasis on perceptual quality, HDR handling, and workflow simplicity."
This prompt captures the core elements:
- Technical comparison between two image formats
- Focus on JPEG XL's unique "ignoring bit depth" design
- Emphasis on perceptual vs. numerical quality
- Discussion of HDR and workflow benefits
- Tone and structure matching the published article
The prompt would have guided the AI to produce content that:
1. Explains the technical difference in encoding approaches
2. Demonstrates why JPEG XL's method is better
3. Provides real-world implications for users
4. Maintains the author's voice and technical depth
5. Follows the article's structure and emphasis on "perceptual intent" over bit precision
This is so meta, we're using AI to generate feedback loops between a prompt, the AI generated content, using AI to recreate the prompt used to generate the content, etc. Spiraling to unreadable slop - unreadable to real humans anyway.
Soon enough the AI will invent a format for communicating with instances of itself or other AIs so that they can convey information that a client AI can translate back to the user's personal consumption preferences. Who needs compression or image optimization when you can reduce a website to a few kB of prompts which an AI engine can take to generate the full content, images, videos, etc?
