Hey folks, I've been messing around with ChatGPT and was wondering if it can whip up images or videos too? I've mostly seen it chat, but not sure if it does visuals as well. Anyone got the scoop?

There’s been some cool demos of AI making short video clips but it’s still experimental. Don’t expect ChatGPT to do vids anytime soon.
From what I know, ChatGPT mostly focuses on text. For images or videos, you'd wanna look at other AI models like DALL·E or Midjourney. They specialize in visuals.
ChatGPT’s strength is language. For visuals, the best results come from specialized models built just for that.
Honestly, I'm hoping future versions will combine chatting, image, and video capabilities all in one. That would be wild.
Hopefully in the future, they'll offer a single platform for everything from text to images to videos.
I read about some AI that makes short deepfake-style video clips but it’s not related to ChatGPT.
If you want AI-generated images, try DALL·E or Stable Diffusion. ChatGPT will help you come up with prompts but won't create the images itself.
If you want to make videos from text, look into AI video generators like Synthesia or Pictory. ChatGPT can help write the script though!
I tried asking ChatGPT for videos and it just gave me text descriptions or scripts. No actual video generation yet as far as I can tell.
Some chatbots integrate with image generation behind the scenes but ChatGPT by itself is just text-based.
Is there any way to connect ChatGPT with image or video generators? Like through API or plugins?
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools that might handle images and videos better than ChatGPT.
This is why I use ChatGPT mainly for writing and brainstorming, and switch to other AIs when I want visuals.
I read somewhere that OpenAI has separate models for images and video stuff. ChatGPT is mainly conversational AI though.
I tried asking ChatGPT for an image but got a bunch of ASCII art instead lol. Not quite what I wanted.
So basically if you want videos, you gotta use other AI tools, right? ChatGPT just writes stuff out.
Video generation AI usually requires huge computing power so that’s probably why it’s not in ChatGPT yet.
