ChatGPT (GPT-4o) is far and away the most precise image generation tool and feels more like a person to create or edit an image rather than a software tool.

GPT is able to create photorealistic images and edit images based on text input.

The tool is not perfect, and it can still go rogue sometimes, but it's still not perfect.

Ideogram 1.0 generated the image I requested on the first prompt, even when I mentioned a celebrity by name.

Ideogram had no problem generating deepfake images, though.

Adobe Firefly was among the best at avoiding generating a deepfake.

Meta AI 's Llama is even easier to use because of the fact that it's baked into so many products already.

Many artists believe artificial intelligence tools like Grok , ChatGPT, and Meta have been unfairly (and possibly illegally) trained on copyrighted works.

Are AI image generators ethical? That depends on who you ask.

OpenAI companies have argued that users should have a "freedom to learn from AI technology".
