OpenAI has just released GPT-4o image generation, and it's taking social media by storm. Unlike previous AI image tools, this new model works differently - and the results speak for themselves.
Unlike DALL-E and other diffusion models that generate all parts of an image at once, GPT-4o uses an autoregressive approach. This means it creates images pixel-by-pixel in sequence, similar to how an old modem would download an image. While this makes the generation process slower, the results are worth the wait.
Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, personally demonstrated this new technology, highlighting how it will help "creatives, educators, small business owners, and students" use AI in new ways.
The feature that's gone most viral is the ability to transform any image into Studio Ghibli style art. Users have been "Ghibli-fying" everything from personal photos to famous artwork. Even Sam Altman changed his profile picture to a Ghibli-style version of himself.
But that's just the beginning. GPT-4o can:
This release comes right after Google's major Gemini 2.5 update, which topped many AI benchmarks. While Google's Imagen 3 (now available in Gemini) offers similar features, early comparisons show GPT-4o creating more coherent and accurate results for complex requests.
Google has its own impressive advances, though. Developer Matthew Berman demonstrated Gemini's ability to build complex interactive applications with single prompts, including 3D simulations with adjustable parameters.
Other AI tools making waves include Ideogram 3.0 mini with its real-time style transfer abilities, and the glimpse we're seeing of AI in robotics. Particularly noteworthy is an AI-assisted seeing eye robot dog for blind people.
We're approaching a world where AI could revolutionize gaming through rapid creation of navigable worlds, and eventually, the ability to generate entire multimedia productions from simple descriptions.
For now, GPT-4o's image generation capabilities have recaptured that sense of "AI magic" that early adopters felt when first exploring these technologies. The barrier between imagination and creation continues to get thinner by the day.
While GPT-4o showcases exciting possibilities like the viral Ghibli-style transfers, not everyone has access to such cutting-edge tools yet. DomoAI brings similar capabilities directly to you, with our own version of style transfers that can transform your content into beautiful artistic styles.
