The implementation of a groundbreaking AI image generation feature led ChatGPT to gain one million users each hour as it experienced unprecedented growth. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman used the term “biblical” to describe the massive demand for GPT-4, which created a significant milestone in the platform’s development.
Altman described the ChatGPT launch 26 months ago as the most viral moment he had ever witnessed because it gained one million users in five days, according to his X post. The platform acquired one million new users during the last hour.
Users now have access to an image generation tool that enables them to create precise visual content, including logos and diagrams as well as artistic illustrations. GPT-4o provides practical communication benefits through its image generation abilities, according to OpenAI.
The GPT-4o image generation system demonstrates exceptional ability to produce accurate text output while following precise prompts while drawing from its built-in knowledge base and chat context, which includes transforming uploaded images and using them as visual inspiration, according to OpenAI’s blog post.
The creation of images in the Studio Ghibli style has become one of the most popular viral trends. Social media platforms display endless AI-created artwork that draws inspiration from Japanese animation giant Studio Ghibli because of ChatGPT’s new feature capabilities.
OpenAI faces substantial pressure on its computing systems because of the unprecedented user demand. Altman expressed his delight about watching people enjoy image generation through ChatGPT. “But our GPUs are melting. ChatGPT will implement temporary rate restrictions until the team completes efficiency improvements.
OpenAI obtained $40 billion in funding to reach a $300 billion valuation as the company experienced a significant increase in popularity. The number of ChatGPT users reached 500 million after its November 2022 debut, and the platform continues to reshape how AI impacts digital creativity and communication.
