Three different GPTs just told me there's a Color.blend() function. But there doesn't appear to be one. Did there used to be and it got removed?

[ephemient]

there never was, they're hallucinating

All these GPTs are really good at botsplaining and sounding 100% certain of what they randomly string together.

[Travis Griggs]

i get such a kick out of them. It's fun to compare them. They are stochastic parrots. They say the most plausible thing. Often, correct and plausible overlap, which is why they seem to be useful (and sometimes are), but they tell no truth. Just plausible

We have blendARGB(), blendHSL() and blendLAB() in androidx-core-ktx

[romainguy]

As well as a + overload on Color and @ColorInt Int to do SrcOver blend

[ephemient]

I assumed OP was talking about androidx.compose.graphics.Color

[romainguy]

Yeah but explaining why those hallucinations may happen

[romainguy]

Because we have adjacent APIs that are called blend

[ephemient]

fair. plus there's APIs from other languages too

they are going to create some new desire paths in generated docs https://link.medium.com/NGOnsgK3Pzb
