Ask HN: Why does ChatGPT image gen want pyxl.pro?

Is anyone else seeing this? When creating an image with ChatGPT's "image generator" the system won't, and says:

"image generator wants to talk to pyxl.pro"

Followed by a pill-box button that reads: "Sign in with pyxl.pro"

    I managed to get rid of it (I was blocked by this) by clicking the "..." button in the input frame and choosing "Create image" which was prepended to my prompt.

    No idea what happened there... I have a valid/paid account, no browser extensions... strange stuff.

    Do you use a GPT to generate the image? Or only chat with ChatGPT?
