Unlock Creative Potential: OpenAI’s New Image Generator Now Accessible to Everyone!
OpenAI has launched its revolutionary image generator, utilizing the advanced GPT-4o model, now accessible to all users. This exciting development was announced by CEO Sam Altman in a recent post on X. Previously, this powerful feature was available exclusively to paying users of ChatGPT.
Image Generation Tool Now Open to All Users
While the specifics regarding the number of images that free-tier users can generate remain unclear, Altman indicated a tentative limit of three images per day last week. This new update has significantly broadened access to OpenAI’s innovative tools.
High Demand and Immediate Popularity
OpenAI’s image generation tool saw an immediate surge in popularity upon its launch. Altman reported that the demand was so intense that the company’s GPUs were “melting” under pressure. The tool has quickly gained a reputation for its ability to transform images into the artistic style reminiscent of Studio Ghibli, a renowned Japanese animation studio. This capability has sparked discussions about copyright issues and the training data used by OpenAI.
Concerns Over Misuse
In addition to artistic transformations, some users have exploited the tool to create fake receipts, such as restaurant bills. In response to these concerns, an OpenAI spokesperson informed TechCrunch that all generated images contain metadata indicating they were created by ChatGPT. The company is committed to enforcing its guidelines and takes action against any violations.
OpenAI’s Impressive Growth and Funding
In a separate announcement, OpenAI revealed it has successfully raised $40 billion in funding, led by SoftBank, with a staggering $300 billion valuation. Furthermore, the company has reported that ChatGPT has reached 500 million weekly active users and 700 million monthly active users, highlighting its immense popularity and widespread adoption.
