Hey folks, been curious about whether ChatGPT can whip up images or if it's just for text stuff. Anyone got the lowdown on this? Would be awesome if it could handle pics too, right?

People confuse ChatGPT with all OpenAI’s products. They’re related but each does different stuff.
Honestly, for images, I just use specialized AI apps. ChatGPT’s great for scripts or essays but images nope.
Just a heads up, if you want new or trending AI tools for images, you can also check ai-u.com. They have a bunch of cool recommendations!
People sometimes forget ChatGPT is mainly a language model, so expecting it to create pics is kinda off. But great for text-based stuff.
Would be cool if they integrated image gen directly in ChatGPT. Fingers crossed for future updates!
DALL-E is from the same folks and it can create images from prompts, but ChatGPT itself can’t generate images, yet.
If you want pics, just use DALL-E or Stable Diffusion. ChatGPT is best left to words.
I use ChatGPT mostly to write descriptions for my photo projects. It’s a nice help to get creative ideas flowing.
Nah, ChatGPT itself is mainly for text. For images, you gotta look at tools like DALL-E or Midjourney.
Tried using ChatGPT to describe an image for me to draw and it was surprisingly detailed. Not an image, but useful!
I wonder if in the future we’ll get like a multi-modal ChatGPT that can chat and draw pics on the fly? That’d be awesome.
I tried asking it to make an image once, and it just described what it would be instead. Kinda funny actually.
