Free CHATGPT users will have to wait longer to use their built-in image generation capabilities. Openai only A function has been activated This will allow users to generate images directly inside Chatgpt and should be rolled out to all Plus, Pro, Team and Free users. But according to the company’s CEO Sam Altmaneven if they already have high expectations, it is more popular than Openai expected. So its rollout to the free layer is “unfortunately, it will be delayed for a while.”
Images in Chatgpt are more popular than we expected (and we expected them to be high).
Unfortunately, the rollout to our free layer will be delayed for a while.

People have been posting Chatgpt’s output on social media. One popular trend that emerged in the release is to turn existing photos into Ghibli-style illustrations. Even Altman Mock it And used his own Ghibli photo as his profile picture on X/Twitter. Users have been creating photos from personal images to politicians and Meme. As VentureBeat Ghibli creator Hayao Miyazaki may not approve of them because he reacted negatively to AI-powered animation a few years ago, but we suspect this will stop this trend until people get tired of it.
Altman doesn’t provide a schedule for when the feature will be available to users for free. Currently, those who want to use the builder built into chatbots must log in to Chatgpt using a plus, Pro or Team account and select GPT-4O as their AI model in the lower left corner.
