OpenAI has made its ChatGPT 4o image-generator tool available to everyone. In a post on X on March 31, the company’s CEO Sam Altman said the tool was, «now rolled out to all free users!»
The image generator has been in the news recently as people have been using it to generate images in the style of Studio Ghibli animation. The rush to use the image-generation feature in ChatGPT prompted Altman to say, «our servers are melting» in a post.
Altman said at the time that image generation would be free, but that users would be limited to three images per day. Those who pay for ChatGPT for $20 a month for a standard subscription of $200 for a Pro subscription won’t have that limit.
I tested the tool to create the lead image for this post. The ChatGPT app struggled a bit with a lost connection, but eventually generated an image of a ChatGPT flying over New York in under 5 minutes.
