OpenAI has recently stated that Sora AI image generator would no longer have a monthly billing system due to its integration program with ChatGPT. This new feature enables the user to write a text description of what they want to see and then receive an AI-generated image based on it through the ChatGPT application. ​

Key Highlights:

• OpenAI's Sora AI image generator is now freely accessible to all ChatGPT users.
• Users can create photorealistic images using text prompts without a subscription.
• The feature is integrated into ChatGPT, simplifying the image creation process.
• Free-tier users have daily usage limits, while paid tiers offer enhanced capabilities.
• The tool employs GPT-4o for improved image quality and text rendering.

It uses the OpenAI GPT-4o model for generating images, and it is highly effective in generating images with good text quality in detail. For the image generation, users are allowed to do so in their free subscription, though with limited capability on daily usage. However, ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Team users have sharper image quality, shorter processing time, and larger numbers of generated inputs allowed daily. ​

Sora has been integrated into ChatGPT to allow its users to create images without having to go through multiple apps and accessories. This is among the development that has been launched by OpenAI to make new and sophisticated AI tools available to the public. As for preventing misuse of the technology, the company has put in place protections that include filtering content and labeling information with metadata. ​

The availability of Sora’s image generation capabilities is favorable to a broad range of its users – artists, designers, educators, and content creators, per se, who will be able to visualize their ideas with minimal effort.​
