Following the success of OpenAI's first image version, Sam Altman hinted at the upcoming release of Image Version 2, sharing the news on his social media platform.
Launch and Success of Image Version 1
Image Version 1 was launched as part of the GPT-4o model, offering high-quality images and the ability to refine them through natural conversation. A standout feature was the inclusion of 'Ghibli Art,' making it instantly popular worldwide. People, including celebrities and sports stars, began creating personalized Ghibli-style images.
Challenges and Controversies
However, the success came with challenges like technical issues such as GPU overloads, leading Sam Altman to temporarily limit image creation rates. The 'Ghibli Art' feature also faced backlash from artists including noted animator Hayao Miyazaki, who called AI-generated animation 'an insult to life.'
Expectations for Image Version 2
Despite controversies, people are eagerly awaiting Image Version 2 and have questions about the features it will offer, such as support for animations.
As OpenAI prepares to launch the second version of its image software, the public is looking forward to new functionalities and improvements, eager to see what the new product can deliver.
