ChatGPT, powered by OpenAI, has recently announced that all users, including those on the free tier, will now have access to artificial intelligence (AI) image generation using the Dall-E 3 AI model. This move marks a significant step towards democratizing advanced AI capabilities and making them accessible to a wider audience.
Previously, only ChatGPT Plus subscribers had the privilege of using the Dall-E 3 model, which was released by OpenAI in September 2023. However, for the first time, non-subscribers will also be able to experience this cutting-edge image generation technology. The daily limit for free tier users has been set at two images, with no compromise on quality or the complexity of prompts that can be used.
Although OpenAI initially mentioned that the feature rollout would take some time, some users, including those at Gadgets 360, were already able to access the image generation capabilities at the time of the announcement. However, it may still take a few days before all users can fully utilize this feature on ChatGPT. Interestingly, users can create images not only on the web interface but also on the Android and iOS apps.
On the web interface, users have the option to navigate to the Dall-E interface via the side panel on the ChatGPT website or directly generate images using ChatGPT. To get the desired output, users need to provide a detailed prompt with specific information about the angle, lighting, prompt adherence, camera settings, and more. For those who prefer a more straightforward approach, ChatGPT can generate a detailed prompt on their behalf based on a general input.
While free tier users now have access to image generation capabilities, it is important to note that the image editing feature, introduced for Plus users in April, is not available to those on the free tier. This limitation might impact the level of customization and refinement that users can achieve with their generated images.
The expansion of image generation capabilities to free tier users on ChatGPT signifies a major development in the accessibility of advanced AI technologies. By leveraging the Dall-E 3 model, users can now create unique and personalized images with just a few simple prompts. This move demonstrates OpenAI’s commitment to democratizing AI and empowering users to explore the possibilities of machine-generated content.
