Image generation in ChatGPT delayed for free users
Around a day after the release of image generation in ChatGPT, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that the feature would not be rolled out to free users as promised, citing its popularity. Users could previously generate crude AI images with OpenAI’s DALL-E text-to-image generation models, but the results were often far from impressive and contained multiple jarring errors or distortions. However, image generation in ChatGPT attracted new users soon after release when Altman and other early users shared pictures of themselves converted into an anime style. “elieve it or not we put a lot of thought into the initial examples we show when we introduce new technology,” posted Altman on X, in response to a user who approved of the use of Studio Ghibli aesthetics to introduce image generation in ChatGPT.
