On September 9, OpenAI released the new image engine, ChatGPT Images 2.5, which focuses on optimizing the speed of AI-generated images, consistency of human and pet appearances, and precision in image editing. The new model offers up to a 50% improvement in generation speed compared to its predecessor, better preserving the original features of people and pets. It also allows users to directly specify editing locations through sketches or selected areas, reducing reliance on textual descriptions. Additionally, the updated tool supports functions such as photo art style conversion, logo design, and tattoo design modifications. OpenAI stated that Images 2.5 aims to enhance user engagement in the creative process, rather than just focusing on image generation. However, this upgrade has also sparked controversy over AI image copyrights and creator rights, with concerns about whether the training of generative AI models involves artists' works and the impact of AI-generated content on the traditional creative industry.
