Rather than announcing a release date for the ChatGPT GPT-5 upgrade this week, which I expected might come in response to DeepSeek's V3 launch in China, OpenAI went a totally different route. The AI firm unveiled a brand-new AI generation model available directly inside ChatGPT chats.
The tool doesn't have an easy-to-remember name, as OpenAI refers to it as "4o image generation." Notably, you don't have to pick the model when you want to create AI images from the ChatGPT menu. You just tell the AI what sort of images you want, and 4o image generation delivers them.
That ease of use, combined with ChatGPT's new features and impressive ability to follow instructions, made the new image generator go viral. In just a few hours, ChatGPT users with access to 4o image generation created all sorts of mind-blowing images with simple text prompts.
ChatGPT already had a built-in image generator, the Dall-E platform. But the new one is better by orders of magnitude. For starters, it can generate text correctly. It can follow detailed instructions and let you refine the AI images with additional commands. You can upload real photos and then use the AI to edit them according to your needs. Unfortunately, the new AI image generation tool can also be abused to create deepfakes, and it can steal copyrighted material. All of that certainly helped it go viral, too — and there's more bad news as a result: ChatGPT Free users will have to wait a long time to be able to generate images with the AI.
