This topic is intended to serve as a model for other NewMars members, or for folks who are not currently members but who might be interested in this concept.
The theme of this project (and all projects created in this category) is Open Source / Education.
The specific problem I am addressing today is a mysterious behavior I ran into when attempting to work with images on two different systems.
The file type in question is BMP.

Apache Server error forced multiple posts for this content.
Microsoft created the BMP file type decades ago, and it is used widely.
The specific activity in work is to compare a set of pixels on a screen in snapshots to find when the first instance of the pixel set has returned.
The specific application is the ChatGPT input window, which is running in a browser to provide ChatGPT with a communications interface with a (normally) human operator.
The reason this topic is created is that while the capture and compare code works perfectly on a development PC with static documents used for testing, it fails when installed on a different computer where ChatGPT is running live.

The problem to be solved is that a snapshot of a region on the ChatGPT window is darker when captured before the capture screen is hidden, than it is when captured after the capture screen has been restored from hidden status.
The number of bytes in the BMP file is exactly the same in the before and after files.
The headings are identical.
The difference is that the pixel captures differ.
In display of the two files using a utility program (in this case Kodak IMAGE VIEWER) it is easy for a human to see that the "before" image is darker than the "after" image.
The reason for the change to the pixel capture is not obvious (to me for sure).

As stated earlier, the identical procedure on the development PC did NOT have this problem.
However, on the live test PC, the browser is providing the display, so there may be some changes introduced there. The only "for sure" difference I can think of right now is the Hide operation.
In the current design, the pixel region of interest is captured and saved at program start.

The purpose of the activity is to be able to know when the ChatGPT program has returned from a work session.

OpenAI on Thursday announced its first partnership with a higher education institution. Starting in February, Arizona State University will have full access to ChatGPT Enterprise and plans to use it for coursework, tutoring, research and more.
The partnership has been in the works for at least six months, when ASU Chief Information Officer Lev Gonick first visited OpenAI’s HQ, which was preceded by the university faculty and staff’s earlier use of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools, Gonick told CNBC in an interview.
ChatGPT Enterprise, which debuted in August, is ChatGPT’s business tier and includes access to GPT-4 with no usage caps, performance that’s up to two times faster than previous versions and API credits.
With the OpenAI partnership, ASU plans to build a personalized AI tutor for students, not only for certain courses, but also for study topics. STEM subjects are a focus and are “the make-or-break subjects for a lot of higher education,” Gonick said. The university will also use the tool in ASU’s largest course, Freshman Composition, to offer students writing help.
ASU also plans to use ChatGPT Enterprise to develop AI avatars as a “creative buddy” for studying certain subjects, like bots that can sing or write poetry about biology, for instance.
Gonick said ASU’s prompt engineering course has become one of the university’s most popular courses, not limited to engineering students. The access to ChatGPT Enterprise means students will no longer be limited by usage caps. He also said that after conversations with OpenAI’s leadership, he feels confident that the tool provides a “private walled-garden environment” that will safeguard student privacy and intellectual property.
OpenAI and ASU’s joint release specified that any prompts the ASU community inputs into ChatGPT “remain secure,” and that OpenAI “does not use this data for its training models.”
AI chatbots such as ChatGPT have sparked criticism in the past year due to cheating concerns, with several school districts — including districts in Seattle, Los Angeles and New York City — outright banning the tool.
“There’s no cookbook for this yet, but the key piece is around the capabilities of moving away from the token economy — to using the tech in a mindset of abundance, which is what we’re going to be able to do with the Enterprise version for research activities, data analysis, discovery-based work and so forth,” Gonick told CNBC.
In a release, OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap said the company is “keen to learn from ASU” and to expand the use of ChatGPT by higher education institutions.
“As OpenAI begins to explore how to go to market or align a business for universities, they’re looking for a design partner, a thought partner, and I think that’s a significant measure why we’ve come together today to make this announcement,” Gonick told CNBC.
In another topic, I had hoped to enlist ChatGPT to assist GW Johnson with his course on Basic Orbital Mechanics, by serving as a tutor ... it looks as though the University of Arizona has been exploring that capability.

Programming of AI is astounding but as most tools they can be used for something that they are not intended to be used for.. It is good that that so far has not been the course so far.
