OpenAI has made the image generation feature of its popular chatbot ChatGPT available for free users.
Free users can generate up to three images per day and are encouraged to upgrade to a paid plan for additional image generation.
The ability to create Studio Ghibli-inspired illustrations led to a surge in new users, with ChatGPT gaining over one million new users in a single hour.
The decision to make image generation available to everyone solidifies ChatGPT's position as a widely used AI tool, raising discussions about the ethical and professional implications of AI-generated art.
