Is this trolling or a suggestion that AI doesn't understand that transparent gif is 100% a thing?

I think they just got gif mixed up with jpg. The letters have the same pattern in qwerty and one could have autocorrected to the other.

The original GIF format did not support transparency. 89A added support for fully transparent pixels. There is still no support for alpha channels, so a partially opaque drop shadow is not supported for example.

Depends on what “transparent” means.
