ChatGPT Sparks Unprecedented Image Boom

In just one week, users generated over 700 million images using ChatGPT’s new image feature, with 130 million people engaging with it. Demand is especially high in India, and during the Ghibli-style image trend, OpenAI saw up to one million new sign-ups per hour.

OpenAI has since made the feature partially free and is developing improvements along with an API for image generation.
