ChatGPT may not be able generate AI images directly. However, there is a way to use ChatGPT in order to produce better AI images.

ChatGPT’s ability to produce human-like replies to different prompts is well known. It is a great tool for writing emails or breaking complex subjects down into simpler language.

The technology has much more potential. ChatGPT is also able to assist in AI image creation. Continue reading to learn how.

ChatGPT — What is it and How Does It Work?

It’s essential to know the way ChatGPT functions before we can create AI images using ChatGPT. ChatGPT, a model for natural language processing trained using a large dataset of human languages. It can generate and understand text similarly to humans.

ChatGPT will respond to a question based on data that it has been taught. ChatGPT is a helpful assistant for AI image creation, but does not generate the images.

ChatGPT can Create Images.

No. ChatGPT does not generate images and therefore cannot output them directly. It can create text descriptions for images, which can be inputted into image-generation systems.

How to generate AI images with ChatGPT

ChatGPT can be used in two ways: as an AI prompt for OpenAI DALL-E or to create AI images with your own favorite AI image creator.

1. ChatGPT can be used as a prompt generator

AI Image Generators like Midjourney or RunwayML require prompts to create corresponding images. ChatGPT can be used as a generator of prompts by telling it what you need.

Here is an example on how to use ChatGPT for image prompt generation.

Prompt

Now you will act as an image generator. You will be given an image and asked to create a prompt for it. What I'm looking for is an image of a sunset on a beach.

Output of ChatGPT

Imagine a peaceful beach scene as the sun sets. As the sun just touches the horizon it casts warm pink and orange hues in the sky. Water is still and reflects light, while gentle waves lap against the shore. You can make out silhouettes of palms trees in the distant sky. There are only a handful of seagulls walking along the beach. Take in the serenity and peace of this moment.

2. OpenAI DALL-E

DALL-E, ChatGPT’s sister model built by OpenAI. is the sister model of ChatGPT, and it’s used to generate AI images. This tool works in a similar way to ChatGPT. You provide a prompt and the program generates an AI image.

DALL-E, like ChatGPT is available for free on OpenAI’s site. You can use ChatGPT if you want to fine-tune your DALL-E prompts.

Will ChatGPT ever be able to create images directly?

ChatGPT does not have the ability to directly generate images, nor is it likely that ChatGPT will add this feature anytime soon. This is evident by the fact that DALL-E has this capability. In the near future, ChatGPT should be used to generate text. Other models such as DALL-E can then be used for images.

Create better image generation prompts with ChatGPT

ChatGPT helps you to create AI images using prompts which can be input into other image generation systems. Its natural language processing capability allows it to generate detailed and nuanced instructions with ease.

ChatGPT isn’t able to generate images on its own, but it provides a good foundation from which you can create better AI prompts.

Develop your own thinking and creativity!

If you want to try your hand at 3D modelling, I recommend taking a look at the free and paid courses you can find here Bestblendercourses.com.

Finally I would like to say that AI generators are just a tool for work and should not be your final result. For me, AI-based software helps to diversify my drafting variations and broaden my horizons.
