DALL-E is now Live on ChatGPT
OpenAI's image creation program is now integrated into ChatGPT Plus.
As always, I want to bring you the latest news about ChatGPT and other AI-Related subjects. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been reading in the tech journals that Chat was going to incorporate DALL-E, OpenAI’s Generative AI Image Generator, into it’s program. So, you don’t have to go anywhere else you can create images right from inside Chat. The images below were generated using Chat.
First, this just arrived on my account today. I have ChatGPTPlus. At this point, this function is only on the premium subscription.
So, I tried it out.
First, to launch Chat with Dall-e, click on the ChatGPT-4 button and select the Dall-e option. That will give you a different interface. It looks the same but you can produce images using this one.
In using Generative AI image creators, I sometimes have difficulty with the prompts. I’m still learning. It’s easier with text for me. But that’s probably because I worked with words long before I worked with images.
I read an article where the author suggested that if you are stuck for a prompt ask Chat to write one for you. So, I decided to ask Chat. Here is that interaction:
Me
Chat, I see you have Dall-e installed. I want a prompt that would direct it to generate a picture of a student studying with a robot by the side how would I phrase that?
ChatGPT
Certainly. Here's a descriptive prompt that you can use to direct DALL-E to generate an image of a student studying with a robot by their side:
"A photo depicting a diverse student sitting at a desk with books and notebooks spread out, deeply engrossed in their studies. Beside the student stands a sleek, modern robot, approximately human-sized, providing assistance or observing the student's progress. The setting is a well-lit room, possibly a study room or library, with shelves filled with books in the background."
Would you like me to use this prompt to generate the image for you?
I said I would, and it produced the square picture I attached to this post. That is good for social media especially Instagram. However, I do more work with horizontal 16:9 images. So I asked Chat:
Can I get other dimensions. Could I get this same image in landscapre 16:9
And it complied. The speed of generation was impressive. I like Firefly and Photoshop from Adobe, but it takes some time for them to generate an image.
But then I looked at this image. I want the course/book to be friendlier and present chat as a “study buddy.” I don’t want the robot looking down on the student. So, I gave it this prompt.
Could you regenerate with the same basic image, but with the robot sitting with the student like they are study buddies
Chat rewrites the prompt and generates an image of the robot and the student sitting side by side. It even rewrote the prompt:
A photo depicting a diverse student sitting at a desk with books and notebooks spread out, deeply engrossed in their studies. Beside the student sits a sleek, modern robot, approximately human-sized, acting as a study buddy and engaging in the study session. The setting is a well-lit room, possibly a study room or library, with shelves filled with books in the background.
I can see a lot of applications for this. You might use Chat to generate a first draft of a blog post or maybe have it proof read your copy. Then right afterward ask chat to create an image for that post.
I did a quick test. About a week ago, I posted an article here about iteration in creating prompts for ChatGPT
So, I used this as a test. I gave Chat this prompt:
Chat, I don't know if you can do this, but let's try. I'm going to paste in an article about Iterating when using ChatGPT. I want this to be a blog post. I would also like an image of about 800 wide by 600 tall to go with the post. Could you read the post, create a prompt for DALL-E and then generate the image.
Chat was nonplussed. It responded with this
Thank you for sharing the article. It provides an insightful look into the process of iterating with ChatGPT. Based on the content and theme, here's a detailed prompt for DALL-E to generate a relevant image for your blog post:
"An illustration, 800x600 in dimension, showcasing a writer (depicted as a person) sitting at a desk with a computer screen displaying the ChatGPT interface. Next to the writer, a series of drafts are visibly evolving, symbolizing the iterative process. Above the writer, a thought bubble emerges, containing a cogwheel (representing engineering) intertwined with speech bubbles (symbolizing prompts). The backdrop should be a cozy writer's workspace, filled with notes, scribbles, and perhaps a whiteboard with the word 'Iterate' boldly written."
Let's proceed with generating the image using this prompt.
And it generated the other image I attached. It was a kind of cartoon. Not something I would have thought of, but it kind of works. It’s kind of like having a graphic designer on staff.
To download the image you can either click on the little download Icon in the upper left of the image or click on the image itself. If you do the latter, you will be taken to a page where you can download the image and you can copy the prompt in case you want to use it again.
Later, I’ll make a video showing this process. My voice isn’t that good today.
Remember, this is at this time a Plus feature. But that $20 a month keeps looking like a major bargain

It’s not something I would have thought of, but it kind of works. It’s kind of like having a graphic designer on staff. You tell them what you want, and they design it for you. Of course, it is still pretty much at the B level. If you were doing a major national ad campaign, you would want something more sophisticated. That would require a designer. Maybe one using DALL-E as one of their tools to create parts of the image through many iterations, mixing human imagination with technological efficiency.
To download the image, you can either click on the little download Icon in the upper left of the image or click on the image itself. If you do the latter, you will be taken to a page where you can download the image and you can copy the prompt in case you want to use it again.

Remember, at this time this is a Plus feature. But that $20 a month keeps looking like a major bargain. I spend $30 a month just on a stock image subscription service to get ten images a month. I can create unlimited images using ChatGPT and DALL-E.
Create Your Course with ChatGPT… And Remain Human Doing So!
Just released, this new course shows you how a professional educator applies sound educational principles to course creation with the assistance of ChatGPT.
In one course, learn the basics of creating a course from scratch from a college professor with more than 40 years of educational development experience with the last 20 years specializing in online education, and learn how ChatGPT can help you reduce the time involved by half or more.
A course like this from a university would cost a thousand dollars or more, and much of the language used would be almost incomprehensible to the average person. This course translates all that pedagogical jargon into plain English and condenses it to a series of 16 lessons that lead you through the process of creating a course like an educational professional. Additionally, you will learn how ChatGPT can be your capable teacher’s assistant.
And this won’t cost you a thousand dollars or even a hundred dollars, you get this professional-level course for just $35.
But for my Substack friends, I will give you a $10 discount if you use the coupon code ChatCourse when you sign up.
In addition, if you complete all the exercises, you will qualify for a one-hour consultation with me to help you complete your course with no upsell or sales pitch of any kind. That’s a $50. You will also receive a one-year subscription to the premium subscription to this Substack making you eligible for exclusive content, podcasts, videos, eBooks, and courses.
That’s $100 of bonuses.
