ChatGPT’s image generator is changing the rules – and I am not entirely comfortable

OpenAI’s new ChatGPT image generator better understands intent, renders text more cleanly, and handles complex edits more effectively.

The tool is seen as more versatile than rivals like Midjourney and Google’s Gemini-powered Nano Banana.

Its improved realism could broaden use in design and marketing, but also makes fake images easier to create.

The more autonomous workflow raises concerns about reduced user control and potential fraud or misuse.
