ChatGPT, an AI technology, recently gained popularity due to its new image generation tool that allows users to create AI images from simple text prompts. The tool’s capabilities are remarkable, ranging from editing uploaded images to producing visuals that are almost indistinguishable from real photos, even deepfakes of celebrities. Despite the tool’s impressive results, concerns were raised about OpenAI’s lax image generation safety rules, as the tool could be used for creating misleading or harmful content.
OpenAI is not the pioneer in providing image generation and editing tools to the public; it joins a list of AI companies offering comparable features. Google is a notable competitor, with Google Photos now integrating AI features that allow Android users to modify their photos significantly. The Pixel 9 series further introduced sophisticated AI image generation abilities.
Prior to the popularity of ChatGPT’s image tools, Gemini had integrated its AI photo editing capabilities, which included the option to remove watermarks from actual images.
