Unfortunately, the excitement has hit a bit of a snag. Due to the sheer tsunami of enthusiasm, OpenAI has had to put the brakes on rolling out this nifty feature to the free-tier users. Altman, with a hint of bemusement, noted on X, “Images in ChatGPT are wayyyy more popular than we expected (and we had pretty high expectations). Rollout to our free tier is unfortunately going to be delayed for a while.” One can almost picture him, pipe in hand, shaking his head at the unexpected popularity. 🚀🛑

For the moment, this digital artistry is a privilege reserved for the well-heeled folks on ChatGPT’s Plus, Pro, and Team plans. OpenAI had grand plans to democratize access, but alas, the computing resources are feeling the strain, rather like a butler asked to serve tea to an entire cricket team at once. 🍵🏏

This isn’t the first rodeo for OpenAI when it comes to scaling back due to resource constraints. Their AI video tool Sora faced a similar fate, and it seems the infrastructure is playing catch-up. For now, free users will have to twiddle their thumbs and dream of their AI art debut. 🕰️🖼️

When the free-tier users do eventually get their hands on this feature, it’ll likely come with a side dish of daily limits, much like the case with DALL-E3. Meanwhile, the paying crowd can revel in their AI-driven image-making escapades, basking in the glow of their digital canvases. Cheers to the lucky ones! 🎉🖌️
