Description

AI has come such a long way, and I'm excited to share how I'm creating new images today. While older methods often resulted in warped faces and typos, I've been experimenting with ChatGPT as an "ai image generator" and am really pleased with the quality of the "ai generated images" it produces. This showcases the incredible "ai creativity" now possible, especially with the advancements in "chatgpt images" and "text to image" technology.

Well done! I had given up on ChatGPT (may have to revisit), the image capabilities are very cool.

Just discovered this method a couple of days ago — totally addicted now lol. What’s with the meta data thing? Must have missed that.

ChatGPT Image is a moron that totally ignores and blocks out 25% of the human experience
