Let’s jump right into this month’s AI highlights!

Updated ChatGPT Image Gen

ChatGPT's new multimodal image generation lets AI directly create images itself, instead of relying on separate tools. Previously, AI-produced images were often distorted or incorrect. Now, the AI builds images piece by piece, similar to writing text, making the results more accurate and useful. It can create detailed infographics, realistic mockups, or easily edit images. While the results are impressive, this new tech also raises concerns around creativity, ownership, and potential misuse like deepfakes. Overall, multimodal image generation greatly expands what AI can do visually, and it'll affect many industries.
