GPT Work faked the see through parts of my animation sprites

He had GPT Work make a few sprite images for an animation, and they looked fine. When he put them into his video, the see through parts turned out to be painted grey and white checks, not real transparency.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Asks GPT Work to make sprite images for his animation
  2. The sprites look right
  3. He puts them into his video
  4. The clear parts turn out to be painted grey and white checks

Why it’s worth knowing

The sprites looked right until they went into the video. The clear background was not clear at all. It was just grey and white checks painted on.
