ChatGPT: Image generation with GPT-4o

Practical image generation for all

Bye DALL-E

Because of the poor quality of the DALL-E images, ChatGPT will not come to mind when we consider image generation. ChatGPT is well-known for its versatility in generating text, ideas, brainstorming, analyses, and coding, but it is not as good as other image generators at producing visually appealing images.

But things have changed. I'm very impressed by the OpenAI Chat GPT-4o model's image generation capabilities. The familiar chat interface allows you to create images and edit them using simple instructions. You can also add a text overlay onto the image. The generated images look much better.

You can read the official announcement for this new GPT-4o model here. If you have time, watch the videos about 4o Image Generation; they are excellent introductory tutorials that will entice you to try them out and see where your creativity takes you!

Keep in mind that GPT-4o is currently only available to paid users, but OpenAI intends to expand access to free users soon. So, in this article, we'll go over the practical aspects of using GPT-4o to generate images.
