In a CNET test, the ChatGPT hotline was able to create an old-school corded telephone image with the ChatGPT logo on it in about two minutes.

Why JPEGs Still Rule the Web After 30 Years

A version of this post originally appeared on Tedium, Ernie Smith’s newsletter, which hunts for the end of the long tail. For roughly three decades, the JPEG has been the World Wide Web’s primary image format. But it wasn’t the one the Web started with. In fact, the first mainstream graphical browser, NCSA Mosaic, didn’t initially support inline JPEG files—just inline GIFs, along with a couple of other formats forgotten to history.
