OpenAI now letting ChatGPT’s free users access DALL·E 3

ChatGPT users can generate up to two AI images daily through OpenAI’s DALL·E 3 model.

The company announced the integration through social media and explained the image generator will be partially available on the free plan.

Previously, only paid subscribers of ChatGPT Plus were able to use the tool through the popular generative AI chatbot.

We’re rolling out the ability for ChatGPT Free users to create up to two images per day with DALL·E 3.

“Just ask ChatGPT to create an image for a slide deck, personalize a card for a friend, or show you what something looks like,” writes the start-up team as they shared the news on X (formerly Twitter).

Some users may already be able to access the feature, as the company says the rollout has begun.

DALL-E 3 is an advanced text-to-image model that was released into ChatGPT for Plus and Enterprise customers in October of 2023. It works very much in the same way as asking the chatbot for verbal information, as you simply input a prompt to generate an image.

When the idea is sent to the tool, ChatGPT will automatically generate tailored and detailed prompts for DALL-E 3 to create. You can then ask for further tweaks to get the image just right.

This addition to the free plan comes in the midst of circling rumors about ChatGPT-5 as the expected release for this is thought to be later this year.

While this could be handy for a range of reasons, the company says they are completing internal testing to help people identify when an image was created with AI.

On the model’s home page, it says: “We’re experimenting with a provenance classifier—a new internal tool that can help us identify whether or not an image was generated by DALL·E 3—and hope to use this tool to better understand the ways generated images might be used. We’ll share more soon.”

The team has also put mitigations in place so that the image generator can decline requests that ask for a public figure by name.

“We improved safety performance in risk areas like generation of public figures and harmful biases related to visual over/under-representation, in partnership with red teamers—domain experts who stress-test the model—to help inform our risk assessment and mitigation efforts in areas like propaganda and misinformation,” the company has written on the DALL-E 3 page.
