Hey folks, I've been wondering if ChatGPT can actually show pictures or just text. Anyone got some insights or tips on this? Would really help out if it can handle images too, makes things easier sometimes.

I think you can use ChatGPT alongside image AI tools to get what you want but it doesn't handle pics by itself.
Any third party apps you recommend that let ChatGPT show or create images?
I use ChatGPT mostly for text and ideas, so not having images directly isn't a dealbreaker for me.
Would love a feature where ChatGPT can pull up images from the web or generate them directly.
Are there any plans announced about adding image display to ChatGPT?
Would be cool if in the future they add image viewing or generation natively here though.
I tried asking ChatGPT to draw me a picture once, it gave a description but no actual image lol.
It’s kinda confusing because some people talk about ChatGPT and image AI like they’re the same, but they’re not.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools if you wanna explore stuff that mixes AI chat and images.
Pretty sure current ChatGPT versions don’t support showing images, maybe future updates will?
As far as I know, ChatGPT doesn't generate or display images directly, it's mainly for text. But it can describe images pretty well if you have one in mind.
I guess it’s still mostly a text-based assistant, but it can definitely help brainstorm image ideas.
Honestly just wish it could upload or preview pics in chat, that would be super handy.
I've tried using it in some apps that link ChatGPT with image generation tools, but the chatbot itself doesn't display pics.
