OpenAI introduces a new image generator feature for ChatGPT

Chatbots were originally designed to chat. But they can generate images too.

On Tuesday, Openai strengthened its ChatGpt chatbot with new technology designed to generate images from detailed, complex and unusual instructions.

For example, explaining a four-panel comic strip that includes the characters that appear on each panel and what they are saying to each other, technology can instantly generate elaborate comics.

Previous versions of ChatGPT can generate images, but by blending these broad concepts, it was not possible to create images reliably.

The new version of CHATGPT illustrates a broader change in artificial intelligence technology. After starting as a mere text-generating system, chatbots have transformed into a tool that combines chat with a variety of other abilities.

The technology also supports a new version of CHATGPT called GPT 4-O, allowing chatbots to receive and respond to voice commands, images and videos. You can even talk.

Released at the end of 2022, the original ChatGpt learned its skills by analyzing a huge amount of texts from across the internet. I learned to answer questions, write poetry and generate computer code.

Could not generate image. But about a year later, Openai released a new version of ChatGPT, which can generate images called Dall-E. However, ChatGpt and Dall-E were separate systems.

Now, Openai is building a single system that learns a wide range of skills from both text and images. When generating your own images, the system can pull out everything ChatGpt has learned from the Internet.

“This is a whole new kind of technology under the hood,” said Gabriel Goh, a researcher at Openai. “We don’t disband image generation and text generation. We hope that everything will be done together.”

Traditionally, AI image generators have had a hard time creating images that are significantly different from existing images. For example, if I asked the image generator to create an image of a bike with a triangular wheel, that was a pain.

Goh said the new ChatGPT could handle this type of request.

Openai said starting Tuesday, this new version of ChatGPT will be available to people using both the free and paid versions of the chatbot. This includes both ChatGpt Plus, a $20-month service, and ChatGpt Pro, a $200 service that provides access to all the company’s latest tools.
