OpenAI has introduced an upgraded version of its renowned text-to-image tool, DALL-E, with a novel integration of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s widely recognised AI chatbot.
DALL-E3: Everything you must know about OpenAI’s text-to-image AI tool
This integration aims to simplify the process of generating images from textual prompts, addressing the challenges associated with crafting precise prompts.
Leading AI-driven image generation tools presently utilise prompts, which are textual descriptions of images, to create artwork encompassing a broad spectrum of styles, ranging from photorealistic depictions to imaginative and fantastical representations.

However, formulating an ideal prompt can often prove to be a complex task, to the extent that “prompt engineering” has emerged as a specialised profession.
DALL-E 3, the latest offering from OpenAI, leverages ChatGPT to enhance the effectiveness of prompts.
Subscribers of OpenAI’s premium ChatGPT plans, namely ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Enterprise, can now request image generation by typing in their desired prompt and refining it through interactive conversations with the chatbot.
The results are delivered directly within the chat application.
ChatGPT is capable of taking even concise prompts, comprising just a few words, and enriching them with more descriptive details, thereby providing enhanced guidance to the DALL-E 3 model.

The integration of ChatGPT is not the sole enhancement featured in DALL-E 3.
OpenAI asserts that this iteration produces higher-quality images, particularly in cases involving more extended prompts, offering a more accurate reflection of the textual instructions.
Moreover, it exhibits improved performance when dealing with content that has historically posed challenges for image-generating models, such as textual descriptions and depictions of human hands.
DALL-E 3 incorporates novel mechanisms designed to reduce algorithmic bias and enhance safety, according to OpenAI.
For instance, it will decline requests for images mimicking the style of living artists or representing public figures.
Additionally, artists now have the option to opt out of having their artwork, whether partially or entirely, used in the training of future OpenAI text-to-image models. (OpenAI, alongside some competitors, is currently embroiled in a lawsuit alleging the use of copyrighted artwork by artists to train their generative AI image models.)
The launch of DALL-E 3 coincides with the intensifying competition in the generative AI domain, particularly concerning image synthesis.
Competitors like Midjourney and Stability AI are continuously refining their image-generating models, intensifying the pressure on OpenAI to maintain its competitive edge.
OpenAI has outlined plans to roll out DALL-E 3 initially to premium ChatGPT users in October, followed by research laboratories and API customers.
However, it has not disclosed any specific timeline or intentions regarding the release of a free web-based version, akin to the prior DALL-E 2 and the original DALL-E model.
