GPT-4o image generation
ChatGPT gets native GPT-4o image generation, replacing DALL-E 3: multi-turn editing and inpainting, Pro users first.
Image creation and editing move inside the multimodal GPT-4o model instead of a separate diffusion system; it 'thinks' longer for accuracy and edits existing photos. OpenAI added a policy against mimicking living artists' work. Plus, free users and the API followed after Pro.
