ChatGPT's built-in image generation feature is now available to everyone. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said last week that the company is delaying its rollout to free tier "for a while," because the tool was way more popular than they had expected. But the company made the feature available to free users over the weekend, allowing them to generate images from within ChatGPT and without having to switch to OpenAI's DALL-E generator. Prior to its rollout to the free tier, the tool was only available to Plus, Pro and Team subscribers.
Altman previously said that free users will get a limit of three images per day. Based on our experience trying it out, some accounts are limited to just one a day. Those who find themselves able to generate more than one will still have to wait anywhere between a few minutes and a few hours. One of the tool's most popular uses that we've seen so far is the creation of Ghibli-style images using real-life photos. Users simply have to upload the photo they want to use and then instruct ChatGPT in natural language to create a Ghibli-style version of it. The trend had raised concerns, yet again, about the legality of using copyrighted work as training data for artificial intelligence. It also resurfaced the reaction of Hayao Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli's founder, upon being shown AI-generated animation years ago. "I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself," the director said.
In a tweet, Altman said that the tool could still exhibit erra

Well, "holograms," in quotes. Coolify has apparently put those spinning LED displays—the ones that are a bit flickery and sort of transparent since they're made with spinning bars—on a PC case fan. PCWorld's Mark Hachman spotted them at Computex in 2024:

If you've been paying attention, you know that the Windows world is badly fragmented. Not only are users split between Windows 10 and Windows 11, but Windows 11 users aren't even all on the same version. Now, over the past year, AI has added another wrinkle with Microsoft mainly developing its Copilot PC features for Qualcomm's Snapdragon X platform while neglecting AMD's Ryzen AI 300 and Intel's Core Ultra 200 series processors.
Fortunately, that's changing. On Monday, Microsoft wrote in a blog post that PCs powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 series, Intel Core Ultra 200V, and Snapdragon X series processors are all eligible for "exclusive Copilot PC experiences like Live Captions, Cocreator, Restyle Image, and Image Creator." The word "like" offers some wiggle room, since other AI-powered experiences—such as the ability to resize photos—is only available in the Photos app on PCs running on a Snapdragon chip.
Still, it's a major step up for AMD and Intel. Microsoft and its partners launched Copilot PCs in May 2024, showing off all of its favored AI features on Snapdragon machines. Although Microsoft promised that it would soon bring those features to Copilot PCs powered by AMD and Intel, months passed… Microsoft then eventually released Windows Recall for Copilot Snapdragon PCs, then offered that feature
