Step 1: Utilizing ChatGPT as a Prompt Generator

To initiate the process, you need to instruct ChatGPT appropriately. Simply typing "generate image" won't suffice, as it will inform you that this action isn't feasible. Instead, you must craft a clever prompt to guide it effectively.

Here’s a useful prompt:

After entering this prompt, the response should resemble the following.

Step 2: Defining Your Image Description

Next, you need to specify what you want to visualize. For demonstration purposes, let’s use the prompt:

Prompt: a serene lake surrounded by mountains.

Step 3: Enhancing the Details

Now, you can enrich your image with additional elements. For instance, if you wish to incorporate more greenery and a small boat, you can modify your prompt accordingly.

After adjusting the details, you might find that the boat isn't fully rendered. Just like in Midjourney, you can ask to zoom out for a better perspective.

If you desire a new image, simply describe what you envision, and ChatGPT will generate a fresh image for you. This capability is indeed remarkable, and it’s something many users have eagerly awaited.

Is ChatGPT’s Image Generation Superior to Midjourney?

It's important to note that while ChatGPT has added image generation, its output does not yet match the quality of established tools like Midjourney. The images created can sometimes appear unclear or have noticeable flaws, particularly in rendering human features.

Here are some examples of less successful attempts:

When contrasting the results from ChatGPT with those from Midjourney, the differences become quite evident. In a prior article, I discussed the advancements in Midjourney v5.2, showcasing its superior features.

Prompt: A stylish photo of a cheerful woman in a yellow dress, with long blonde hair, set against a backdrop of Socotra's baobabs.

Prompt: A husky puppy beside a paper airplane in a sunlit forest.

The disparity in quality is significant, and currently, ChatGPT's capabilities do not match those of leading platforms like Midjourney. Nevertheless, the ability to generate images directly from ChatGPT without any plugins or costs is a noteworthy advancement!

I am optimistic that future updates will enhance ChatGPT's image quality significantly. Stay tuned for more updates!
