OpenAI Extends DALL-E 3 Image Creation Access to Free Tier Users

OpenAI has announced a new update for its DALL-E 3 model, allowing users of ChatGPT’s free tier to generate up to two images per day. Initially, when DALL-E 3 was launched in September, it was exclusive to subscribers of the ChatGPT Plus service.

A significant enhancement in DALL-E 3 is its integration with ChatGPT to assist in generating image prompts, streamlining the image creation process. For instance, Aditya Ramesh, the lead researcher and head of the DALL-E team, demonstrated this feature by creating a logo for a ramen restaurant in the mountains during a demo to The Verge.

According to OpenAI, the capability to create images with DALL-E 3 is currently being rolled out. Users may find that they already have access; as noted in the reporting, the ability to generate two images was tested using the ChatGPT Mac app before a limit notification was received.

In addition to these developments, OpenAI has had a notably active day. The company has released a safety assessment of its GPT-4o model, welcomed a new board member, and responded to an inquiry from Democrats in Congress concerning its safety protocols, as noted by CEO Sam Altman.

This evolving landscape of AI tools, including DALL-E 3, offers significant potential for small business owners and solopreneurs, providing them with sophisticated yet accessible tools for enhancing their branding and digital presence without necessitating large-scale resources.

We typically get the short end of the stick…from big business, from crappy employers and from crappy governments. So what I’ve (and my esteemed and impeccably dressed cohorts) decided to do is call them out on it…and also give you solutions to start tilting the playing field in your favor.
