ChatGPT is evolving beyond text-based conversations. On Tuesday, OpenAI introduced enhanced AI-powered image generation for its chatbot, enabling it to create detailed, complex, and highly specific visuals based on user instructions.
However, reports indicate that ChatGPT’s new image generator is producing images of “sexy men” but not “sexy women.” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed this issue, describing it on Twitter as an apparent software “bug.”
Business Insider cited a software engineer who posted on Twitter, “New ChatGPT image gen can draw sexy men but not sexy women. The difference comes down to context and how content is interpreted in terms of sexualization and objectification, especially when it involves women.”
OpenAI said of the new service that with this upgrade, ChatGPT can now generate intricate images, including four-panel comic strips with custom characters and dialogue, based on precise user prompts.
While earlier versions of ChatGPT had image-generation abilities, they struggled to seamlessly integrate multiple concepts into a single, coherent image. The new advancements in AI significantly improve ChatGPT’s ability to create highly customized visuals, making it a powerful tool for designers, artists, and content creators.
As OpenAI continues to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence, this new feature positions ChatGPT as a versatile creative tool, merging text-based intelligence with visual content creation.
“From the first cave paintings to modern infographics, humans have used visual imagery to communicate, persuade, and analyze—not just to decorate,” said ChatGPT. “Today’s generative models can conjure surreal, breathtaking scenes, but struggle with the workhorse imagery people use to share and create information. From logos to diagrams, images can convey precise meaning when augmented with symbols that refer to shared language and experience.”
The latest AI image generation technology breaks new ground by delivering unprecedented accuracy, prompt adherence, and contextual understanding. GPT-4o’s advanced capabilities transform image creation from a basic rendering process into a sophisticated, intelligent visual communication tool that intuitively translates user intent into precisely crafted images.
