DALL·E 3, the latest iteration of OpenAI’s text-to-image generation model, is now in research preview. This groundbreaking technology will be available to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise customers in October, allowing them to harness its capabilities through the API and in Labs later this fall.

A Leap Forward in Image Generation

Traditional text-to-image systems often struggle to accurately capture the essence of the provided text, leaving users to rely on prompt engineering techniques. However, with DALL·E 3, this limitation becomes a thing of the past. This advanced model represents a significant leap forward in our ability to generate images that precisely adhere to the text input.

Even when given the same prompt, DALL·E 3 outshines its predecessor, DALL·E 2, by delivering remarkable improvements in image generation. The resulting images are more expressive, capturing intricate details while maintaining the fidelity of the original concept.

A Synergistic Partnership with ChatGPT

DALL·E 3 is natively built on ChatGPT, allowing users to leverage the power of ChatGPT as both a brainstorming partner and a prompt refiner. By engaging with ChatGPT, you can effortlessly transform your ideas into vivid visuals. Whether it’s a simple sentence or a detailed paragraph, ChatGPT generates tailored and detailed prompts for DALL·E 3, bringing your imagination to life.

When presented with an idea, ChatGPT automatically generates prompts customized for DALL·E 3. If the resulting image doesn’t quite meet your expectations, a few words are all it takes to ask ChatGPT to make the necessary tweaks. The iterative process of refining prompts ensures that the final image perfectly aligns with your vision.

Accessible to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise Customers

Starting early October, DALL·E 3 will be available to both ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise customers. As with DALL·E 2, the images created using DALL·E 3 are entirely yours to use as you wish. There is no need to seek permission from OpenAI for reprinting, selling, or merchandising the generated images.

Emphasizing Safety

OpenAI places a strong emphasis on safety when it comes to AI-generated content, and DALL·E 3 is no exception. Measures have been implemented to prevent the generation of violent, adult, or hateful content. Additionally, requests that specifically ask for a public figure by name will be declined to mitigate potential risks associated with propaganda, misinformation, and other harmful biases.

Internal testing is currently underway to develop effective methods for identifying AI-generated images. OpenAI is exploring the use of a provenance classifier, an internal tool that can help determine whether an image was created by DALL·E 3 or not. This research aims to gain a better understanding of how generated images may be utilized. Updates on these efforts will be shared in the near future.

Empowering Creators

In recognition of the importance of creative control, DALL·E 3 is designed to decline requests for images in the style of living artists. Furthermore, creators now have the option to exclude their images from the training dataset of future image generation models. This feature enables artists and content creators to safeguard their work and maintain control over its usage.

DALL·E 3 represents a remarkable advancement in the realm of text-to-image generation. Its integration with ChatGPT unlocks endless possibilities for creators, enabling them to effortlessly transform their textual visions into stunning visuals. With its commitment to safety and user empowerment, DALL·E 3 embodies OpenAI’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of AI technology while maintaining ethical standards.
