Seriously, are these really the best examples they could come up with? What is the point of having a fake picture of your dog in a costume? What’s the point of having a fake picture about being at a party? The only use case I can think of for this is for someone who likes to make up stories and lie about what they’ve done. Is that really the target market?

Trying to be as least cynical as possible, imagine if you were a party with 3 or more people, and you really wanted a nice pic like that to commemorate the night, but never got to take one all together because someone left early, and you were in the bathroom when they announced their departure. Yes, it's a major first-world problem to not get a photo, but to the right person, it could mean a lot to them to "fix" the…

But still what's the point? To look back on false memories that didn't happen?

I’m doing renovation . I slap a prompt in a tile store over my room and design several types of tiles and paint from one prompt while causally browsing in almost real time .

Isn’t that the future ? I generated 200 images alone in this use case .

What’s the alternative to that ? Send it tomorrow someone who hate their job moving tiles in the toilet , may money , wait 1 week

I've really enjoyed using AI to generate images. For example, Long time ago, I read an amazing five-book saga called Riverworld, and I used AI to recreate many scenes, places, and ideas from the story. Seeing the books come to life through hundreds of images was a great experience. Definitely one of the coolest things to enjoy in 2026. Try it with your favorite books.

About 300 million people literally can't imagine.

Omg, I love how the first examples just show how easy you can fake things. Fake being at a party with your friends. Didn't make your bed, no problem, just fake it. The sad part is my mother would love "remixing" my old child photos of me.

And the fan favourite 'Imagine the apartment we're trying to sell doesn't look like a superfund site'

K, but they're paying for that energy though. And the land and the building costs, etc. I really don't want to live in a country where the government just arbitrarily says "Oh, sorry we have 'enough' datacenters / Subway sandwich shops / golf courses / storage facilities so you aren't allowed to build one" -- even if it becomes a populist belief that they should. The fact is, at this point there is so much demand for…

>where the government just arbitrarily says "Oh, sorry we have 'enough' datacenters / Subway sandwich shops / golf courses / storage facilities so you aren't allowed to build one" -- even if it becomes a populist belief that they should. It's not really arbitrary though, is it? It's decided by duly-elected representatives who answer to the citizens of the municipality. A government "of the people", etc. I feel like w…

Well, you could definitely do policies like that in a plain democracy or republic without any guaranteed rights of the citizens. In our particular constitutional systems, and many others, the founding documents say that the government can't do certain things, even if they pass a law saying they can. (Of course, the Constitution can be amended to remove rights, but there is an intentionally high bar to meet in order to do that.)

Congress could pass a law tomorrow, or California could pass a ballot measure with a 100% Yes vote, saying (for instance) that some random company now belongs to the government, or to Gavin Newsom personally, or to me, but the courts would still be obligated to strike it down since that grossly violates the Seventh Amendment. Ideas like this are commonly referred to as being checks against "mob rule" - the system recognizes that 'what the people want' isn't necessarily supreme when it runs up against other people's recognized rights.

If twitter and reddit have demonstrated anything is that the fun people are having with image generation is not healthy.

How so? I don't have twitter or reddit, what are people doing?

I don't have twitter or reddit either, I've just seen what people post online

Having a lot of fun with my son using an image of him and dressing him in all kinds of costumes. How is that depressing to you?

This is really depressing to me. I think this is abusive.

Your son has no concept of the implications of his body, face and identifying features being used here. He has no ability to opt-out, refuse consent, and avoid his data (biometric features) being swooped up in a data-centers for further training, further data collection & further monetization.

Your son didn't agree to the privacy policy of OpenAI. This is an extremely high level of disrespect to a person you created.

Is this included in the 20/month plan? I had trouble weeding through all the marketing speak.

It must be, I'm not on any plan (free user) and got a modal on ChatGPT.com that let's me use it (for 3 images a day). Should be much higher for Plus users.

Did anyone else notice that all the use cases they show here are "use ChatGPT Images to imagine all the things you'd like to have, but don't"? For some, they then show the thing being done, since just imagining it is a bit sad. But ChatGPT Images can't help you with that part. At best, it's providing creative inspiration - but that's often the most rewarding part of the process for a human... None of the examples sho…

I think you've picked the most cynical interpretation for each one. More charitably, you could say:

- Ideate on things you can build for your fish tank

- Iterate quickly on ideas for a tattoo

- Get inspiration for a new metalworking (or 3D printing?) project

- Get a sense for what a new haircut might look like, before you commit

- Iterate on arrangements for a bouquet of flowers

- Do silly things with childhood photos

- Do silly things with pet photos

- Clean up low-res, damaged, or weirdly formatted photos

- Do some creative storytelling with your long-distance friends

- Okay yeah fine they should just make the damn bed, but I can imagine small tweaks being useful for staging a home (easy to abuse though)

This an oddly cynical comment, that I think says more about the observer than the observed. People are having fun making images. Like they do all sorts of things on the web. Making an image is as simple as visiting a web-page. That's it.

This i did like 15 images just today, mostly just editing and fixing one of my wifes photos that she wanted the lighting and stuff leaned up with so i decided to test out 2.5... it did a great job, but that was easily 15 images 1 of which was the end result but all 15 count toward that figure, i'd honestly guess its more 1:100-1:500 that actually makes it outside the chatgpt servers

This is the most normal thing, and this is the best example

AI is: 'my wife wanted better lighting in our reno pic thingy'

This is healthy and way in the range of normal, not dystopian.
