OpenAI has released a significant upgrade to its AI chatbot, ChatGPT, introducing an image generation feature that has been overwhelmingly well-received by users. This advanced feature produces higher-quality, more realistic images than its predecessors. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman himself noted the feature's popularity, exceeding even the company's expectations. However, free users may need to wait for access.
GPT-4o Replaces DALL-E, Enabling Superior Image Generation
To enhance image generation capabilities, OpenAI has replaced DALL-E 3 with GPT-4o. This new model's key advantage lies in its ability to generate more accurate and detailed images, albeit with increased processing time. Furthermore, it offers advanced editing and transformation capabilities for existing images. Features such as foreground and background editing have been added, significantly improving the overall image editing experience. OpenAI trained this model using publicly available data and partnerships with companies like Shutterstock.
New Image Generation Feature a Hit with Users
The new ChatGPT feature has generated significant buzz on social media. Many users are sharing images created with the feature on X (formerly Twitter), praising its advanced image creation tools. OpenAI acknowledges that user enthusiasm surpasses initial projections.
Free Users to Await Access: Sam Altman's Statement
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X, stating that while the company anticipated the feature's popularity, the positive response has exceeded expectations. However, he clarified that the feature is currently exclusive to Pro plan users, with free users facing a waiting period. He did not provide a specific timeline for the rollout to free users but hinted at its imminent availability for everyone.
