OpenAI has rolled out an image generator feature within ChatGPT, enabling users to create realistic images with improved accuracy. The new feature, available for all Plus, Pro, Team, and Free users, is powered by GPT-4o, which now offers distortion-free images and more accurate text generation.

OpenAI shared a sample image of a boarding pass, showcasing the advanced capabilities of the new tool.

Previously, image generation was available through DALL-E, but its results often contained errors and were easily identifiable as AI-generated. Now integrated into ChatGPT, the new tool allows users to describe images with specific details such as colours, aspect ratios, and transparent backgrounds.

The update aims to enhance creative freedom while maintaining a higher standard of image quality.

CEO Sam Altman praised the feature as a 'new high-water mark' for creative control, although he acknowledged the potential for some users to create offensive content.

OpenAI plans to monitor how users interact with this tool and adjust as needed, especially as the technology moves closer to artificial general intelligence (AGI).
