chatgpt image gen now rolled out to all free users!
– Sam Altman (@sama) April 1, 2025
To re-situate the context, this image generator based on the GPT-4O model is the direct successor to Dall-E, an independent model that has previously worked in tandem with the large language model (LLM). From now on, the company has chosen to bet everything on the reinforced multimodality of the latter (its ability to work with different types of data beyond the text), thus making Dall-E more or less redundant.
And the least we can say is that the results were there. The tool is now capable of generating images with stunning realism. It proves to be very efficient in particular on traditionally very difficult exercises for generators of images of this kind, especially in terms of text.
When this feature was deployed for the first time, social networks were immediately Flooded with imposed images in the characteristic style of the Ghibli studio.
The tool met with such a success that the company was forced to delay the release of the public version. Sam Altman even joked that the firm’s GPUs were ” melting Because of this unexpected popularity, which attracted More than a million new users on Chatgpt in less than an hour.
A great power implies major responsibilities
More broadly, Internet users have given it to their hearts by giving free rein to their creativity … and sometimes even openly exceeding the limits of the policy of use. According to TechCrunchsome clever little ones have noticed that it was possible to generate false receipts for restaurants – A practice also prohibited by law, insofar as such documents can be used for fraud or tax evasion.
If you are one of those who were impatiently waiting for the free version, be sure to use it responsible. Still according to Techcrunchthe company indicated that the images in question contained metadata to identify them, so that the company can bring legal action against those who are guilty of such overflows.
