Description
How to repro?
TF version: 2.19.0
- Take an example from https://www.tensorflow.org/probability/api_docs/python/tfp/distributions/PixelCNN#examples
- Create Google Colab
- Past the example into the Google Colab
- Run it
The following exception occurs:

ValueError: A KerasTensor cannot be used as input to a TensorFlow function. A KerasTensor is a symbolic placeholder for a shape and dtype, used when constructing Keras Functional models or Keras Functions. You can only use it as input to a Keras layer or a Keras operation (from the namespaces `keras.layers` and `keras.ops`). You are likely doing something like:
```
x = Input(...)
...
tf_fn(x) # Invalid.
```
What you should do instead is wrap `tf_fn` in a layer:
```
class MyLayer(Layer):
def call(self, x):
return tf_fn(x)
x = MyLayer()(x)
```

Research direction
Start with the PixelCNN example at the TensorFlow Probability API documentation URL and reproduce it in Google Colab with TensorFlow 2.19. Inspect the failure at dist.log_prob(image_input) and trace the reported KerasTensor exception. Done means the documented example runs successfully without this exception.
