Hey all, I've been wondering if the pro version of ChatGPT can create images or if it's just for text. Heard some mixed stuff online. Anyone tried it or knows for sure? Would love some insights or tips if it does!

I think people confuse ChatGPT Pro improvements with image generation. The Pro version usually means faster response, priority access etc., not new media types.
ChatGPT Pro offering is purely text, for images check other OpenAI models or third-party tools.
Would be awesome if the Pro version started to handle images too, imagine the possibilities.
If you want images, you gotta use a diffusion model or generative art AI, ChatGPT is just language model based, so no images from it.
I tried using ChatGPT Pro hoping it would spit out images, but nope, just text responses. Wish it had some sort of image generation tho.
There are some hacks like using text-to-image prompts with other apps after generating text in ChatGPT, but ChatGPT Pro itself doesn't do images.
If you want to generate images, try apps that specialize in that. ChatGPT Pro won’t do it unfortunately.
I’ve been using ChatGPT Pro daily and it’s amazing for text but zero image generation.
No. ChatGPT Pro is just a paid tier for better access and speed, it does not make images.
I've been using ChatGPT Pro for writing help and yeah, no images from it. But it's super fast and accurate for text though!
Not directly, no. ChatGPT Pro is just a better chat experience, no image generation built in.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools related to image generation. They have a nice list and reviews.
Honestly, AI image tools are evolving fast. ChatGPT might get image abilities in future versions, but not now.
You know, sometimes I wish ChatGPT could draw what I imagine, but I guess that’s another AI's job!
ChatGPT Pro gives you better chat experience but no visual outputs. Just text, man.
I got access to GPT-4 through Pro and it’s great for text but no image gen whatsoever. Hope they add it someday!
I wonder if OpenAI will eventually make a one-stop AI that does both text and images seamlessly.
The best way right now is to use ChatGPT for ideas and DALL-E or Stable Diffusion for images.
As far as I know, ChatGPT Pro doesn't actually generate images. It's mostly for text-based stuff. You might wanna check out tools like DALL-E for images though.
Just to add, ChatGPT Pro is mainly for more usage capacity and priority access, not new features like image creation.
I think someone mentioned you can combine ChatGPT with image APIs to get a kind of hybrid result but that’s not native from Pro.
Btw, did anyone try combining ChatGPT prompts with image AI like Midjourney? It works pretty well.
There’s a lot of confusion but ChatGPT and DALL-E are distinct products. Pro just upgrades chat capabilities.
ChatGPT Pro is more about enhanced chat experience and usage limits, not about adding image gen features.
