There are usage limits, though ChatGPT itself doesn’t elaborate — saying only that free users have “limited access” to image generation, reported The Verge.
The image-generation feature was so far available to paid subscribers under the ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team plans.
Free users could only generate three images per day so far.
Before the announcement, Altman wrote on X: "We will not do anything silly like saying that you cant use our open model if your service has more than 700 million monthly active users."
