# ChatGPT Integration (DALL-E)

## 📌 한 줄 통찰
> **"매 LLM 의 image 의 wrap"**. 매 user prompt → 매 GPT 의 expand → 매 DALL-E 3 의 generate. 매 entry barrier 의 lower 가, 매 control 의 lose. 매 modern LLM image pipeline 의 fundamental tension.

## 📖 핵심

### 매 architecture
1. **User input**: 매 simple prompt.
2. **GPT-4**: 매 understand + 매 expand to detailed.
3. **DALL-E 3**: 매 image generation.
4. **GPT-4**: 매 caption / interpret.

### 매 benefit
- 매 entry-level user 의 friendly.
- 매 conversation 의 iterate.
- 매 multi-turn refinement.
- 매 natural language only.

### 매 problem (architectural conflict)

#### 1. Prompt embellishment
- 매 GPT 의 verbose, poetic.
- 매 DALL-E 의 precise, visual descriptor 선호.
- 매 conflict.

#### 2. Negation handling
- 매 DALL-E 의 weak ("no text", "without...").
- 매 GPT 의 unaware 의 limitation.
- 매 confusion.

#### 3. False Visual Feedback ("gaslighting")
- 매 GPT 의 image 의 visually inspect 의 X.
- 매 "fixed it" 의 claim 가, 매 unchanged.
- 매 user 의 confuse.

#### 4. Style drift
- 매 multi-turn 의 매 prompt 의 cumulative augment.
- 매 unintended style.

### 매 mitigation

#### "Use unchanged"
- 매 GPT 의 augment 의 explicit X.
- "Use the following prompt as-is, without any modifications: ..."

#### Show the actual prompt
- "Show me the exact text you sent to DALL-E."
- 매 debugging 의 essential.

#### Negation 의 rephrase
- 매 "no text" → "completely blank canvas, no symbols or letters anywhere".
- 매 positive 의 reframe.

#### Reset conversation
- 매 drift 가 의심 시 의 new chat.

#### Direct API
- 매 `images.generate` 의 직접 call (GPT 의 wrap X).

### 매 vs direct DALL-E API
| 측면 | ChatGPT integration | Direct API |
|---|---|---|
| Prompt | Auto-expand | Verbatim |
| Iteration | Conversational | Manual |
| Control | Less | Full |
| Cost | ChatGPT Plus | Pay-per-image |
| Use case | Casual / explore | Production / batch |

### 매 modern alternative
- **GPT-4o image** (2025+): 매 native multimodal 의 image edit + 매 generate.
- **Claude image** (2024+): 매 understand 만 (generate 의 X).
- **Gemini Imagen**: 매 native.

## 💻 패턴

### Anti-augmentation directive
```
Use the following prompt EXACTLY as written, without expansion or modification:

"a single red apple on a white background, studio lighting, photorealistic"

Do not add any descriptors, mood, or details.
```

### Show actual prompt
```
After generating, please show me the exact text string you sent to DALL-E (revised_prompt field). I want to verify what was actually generated from.
```

### Negation rephrase (positive)
```
❌ "An empty street, no people, no cars, no text"
✅ "A completely empty street at dawn, devoid of any human or vehicle presence, pure architectural lines only"
```

### Iteration control
```
Iterate from this exact image, changing ONLY the lighting from golden hour to overcast.
Keep all other elements (composition, subject, color palette of subjects) unchanged.
```

### Direct OpenAI API (Python)
```python
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

response = client.images.generate(
    model='dall-e-3',
    prompt='a single red apple on a white background',
    size='1024x1024',
    quality='hd',
    style='natural',  # 매 'natural' or 'vivid'
    n=1,
)
print(response.data[0].url)
print(response.data[0].revised_prompt)  # 매 actual prompt sent
```

→ 매 revised_prompt 의 read 의 control 의 가능.

### Multi-turn within single call (GPT-4o)
```python
# 매 GPT-4o (2025+) 의 image 의 native
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model='gpt-4o',
    messages=[
        {'role': 'user', 'content': [
            {'type': 'text', 'text': 'Generate an image of a cat. Then describe it.'},
        ]},
    ],
    tools=[{'type': 'image_generation'}],
)
```

### Programmatic prompt validation
```python
def validate_dalle_prompt(prompt):
    issues = []
    if 'no ' in prompt.lower() or "n't " in prompt.lower():
        issues.append('Negation detected — DALL-E may ignore. Rephrase as positive.')
    if len(prompt) > 1000:
        issues.append('Prompt too long — DALL-E truncates around 1000 chars.')
    if prompt.count(',') > 30:
        issues.append('Too many comma-separated descriptors — may dilute focus.')
    return issues
```

### A/B test (auto-augmented vs verbatim)
```python
def compare_prompts(simple_prompt):
    augmented = client.images.generate(prompt=simple_prompt)  # ChatGPT-augmented
    verbatim = client.images.generate(
        prompt=f"I NEED to test prompts. My prompt is: {simple_prompt}",
    )  # 매 less augmentation
    
    # 매 visual A/B
    return augmented.data[0].url, verbatim.data[0].url
```

### Workflow: ChatGPT as planner, direct API as executor
```python
# 매 1. GPT 의 prompt 의 design (explicit)
plan_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model='gpt-4o',
    messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': '''
    Design 3 DALL-E 3 prompts for a brand campaign.
    Return JSON only, no embellishment beyond visual descriptors.
    Format: {"prompts": ["...", "...", "..."]}
    '''}],
    response_format={'type': 'json_object'},
)
prompts = json.loads(plan_response.choices[0].message.content)['prompts']

# 매 2. 매 direct API 의 generate
images = []
for p in prompts:
    img = client.images.generate(prompt=p, model='dall-e-3', n=1)
    images.append(img.data[0])
```

## 🤔 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| Casual / explore | ChatGPT |
| Reproducible | Direct API |
| Bulk | Direct API + script |
| Iterative refine | ChatGPT (conversational) |
| Brand consistency | Direct API + locked prompt |
| Editing existing | DALL-E 3 edit / GPT-4o |
| No ChatGPT augmentation 필요 | "Use as-is" directive |

**기본값**: ChatGPT 의 explore. 매 production 의 direct API + 매 verbatim prompt.
