OpenAI pulls free GPT-4o image generator after one day

Openai withdrew the upgraded image generation feature, supported by the advanced GPT-4O thinking, from the free Chatgpt.

The decision comes just one day after the update is launched, after an unexpected increase in users who create pictures in a distinctive style of the famous Japanese animated house, Studio GHibli.

The aim of the update, which promised to provide improved realism in both the images and the text resulting from artificial intelligence, was to display the capabilities of the GPT-4O.

This new model uses an “automatic approach” to create images, and build visible images from left to right up to the bottom, a method that contradicts the simultaneous generation used by old models. This technique is designed to improve the vibrant accuracy and quality of productive images.

Moreover, the new model generates a more severe and coherent text inside the images, and deals with a common defect in previous artificial intelligence models that often lead to a fog or illogical text.

Openai also conducted post -launch training, guiding the human reactions, to determine and correct common mistakes in both the text and images.

However, the general response to upgrade images took an unexpected turn almost immediately after its release on ChatGPT.

Users adopt the ability to create images in the iconic style of GHibli Studio, and exchange their fictional creations through various social media platforms. These re -visualized scenes included classic films such as “The Godfather” and “Star Wars”, as well as the famous online memes such as “Disaster Girl”, all of which were presented with the aesthetic of the beloved animation studio.

SAM Altman, CEO of Openai, joined the fun, changing his profile image to the GHibli-Squee Studio for himself:

However, later that day, Altman posted on X to announce a temporary delay in starting update photo generator for free Chatgpt users.

While the subscribers paid at Chatgpt Plus, Pro and team still have the right to access, Altman has not provided any specific time frame for the time to return to the free level.

Veroya, the Studio Ghibli, apparently paid Openai to reconsider its strategy. While the company tried to address the moral and legal considerations surrounding the generation of artificial intelligence images, it seems that the absolute size and the nature of the content created by the user have discovered their guard.

The intersection of art rights and intellectual property rights generated from artificial intelligence is a complex field and is often discussed. The method is not historically protected under the Copyright law in the same respect as specific works.

Despite these legal differences, Openai’s quick decision to withdraw the GPT-4O images of free-class indicates a cautious approach. The company appears to go back to evaluate the situation and determine the next work course in the light of unexpected popularity of the art of artificial intelligence.

Openai’s decision to re -publish the latest feature of generating images on the ongoing uncertainty about the law of copyright is not only, but also the moral effects of the use of artificial intelligence to repeat human creativity.
