OpenAI’s ChatGPT has experienced a dramatic surge in popularity following the introduction of its image generation capabilities, according to company COO Brad Lightcap. Users created more than 700 million images in a single week after the feature’s release. The remarkable growth has been fueled largely by the AI chatbot’s new photo generation tool, which many users have employed to create images in the distinctive style of Studio Ghibli images.
Describing the initial week as “very crazy,” Lightcap highlighted the demand for the new feature.
“Very crazy first week for images in ChatGPT – over 130M users have generated 700M+ (!) images since last Tuesday,” he stated.
