ChatGPT’s latest image generator — which has gone viral for its ability to generate uncanny recreations of Studio Ghibli art — is now available for everyone, after OpenAI initially delayed the rollout beyond its paid tiers following heavy demand.

Signups for ChatGPT hit 1 million in an hour on Monday. This follows the launch of a new image-generation feature that simulates the artwork of Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki has been outspoken in his disdain for AI-generated art.

Now everyone, even free users, can say goodbye to warped and misspelled text in their image generations - and hello to looser safeguards.

ChatGPT's popular GPT-4o image generation tool that creates Studio Ghibli-style images is now available to everyone, including free users.

When DALL-E first launched, it lived on its standalone website; since then, it has moved to ChatGPT. The move came with many benefits, including the ability to ask the AI chatbot for an image you want in the same interface where you are already chatting about something else, thereby eliminating the need for constant context switching.

OpenAI spokesperson Taya Christianson told TechCrunch that all of its images include metadata indicating they were made by ChatGPT. Christianson added that OpenAI “takes action” when users violate its usage policies and that it’s “always learning” from real-world use and feedback.
