Developed by OpenAI, Artificial Intelligence Supported Assistant Chatgpt recently came to the agenda again. Integrated into the platform, the visual production tool offered users the opportunity to create original visuals from text inputs. Following the announcement of the feature in a short time intense interest, the company has not encountered before a user increase brought with it. It was announced that one million new users have registered on the platform within one hour.
The name shared this information with the public, Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO. In a statement on Monday evening on the X (formerly called Twitter) platform, he described the increase in the user as a “sacred demand .. In the first launch of Chatgpt, one million users were reached in five days. At the point reached today, this number was reached only in sixty minutes.
The increase in the new user has an effect that pushes the balance of the system
Initially, this feature was planned open to all user layers. However, the intense demand in a short time has made access restrictions, especially for free users. The company has announced that the system has problems in the purchase of new registration and that this situation has been going on for a while. OpenAI’s support page was reported to have been temporarily suspended.
In addition to all these, the intensive use of visual production feature has started to push the technical capacity. Users from time to time encounter errors in the visual creation process. When free access was limited, Plus and Team users were given priority. This brought about discussions of access inequality within the community. However, Altman has announced that the visual production feature has been opened to all free users in the past hours.
In addition, the spread of visual production has brought up the ethical limits of artificial intelligence again. Many artists and digital content producer argue that their work is used as an unauthorized educational data. In particular, the inclusion of open -source visuals scanned from the internet in the model training creates suspicion of copyright violations. It increases the reactions of users to reproduce these contents with the production tool.
One of the examples sitting at the center of these discussions Studio Ghibli‘s unique animation style. The spread of thousands of visuals imitating Ghibli aesthetics on social media platforms aroused anxiety about the reproduction of visual language without permission. Altman also drew attention to the use of a visual produced in this style as a profile photo. However, the use of some users in visuals with triggering or violent visuals has expanded the discussion.
At this point, how the works of content producers can be used by artificial intelligence systems remains unclear. The existing royalties are insufficient to define the ownership and limits of reproduced content by artificial intelligence. But this inadequacy raises the need for new regulation in both the law circles and in creative sectors. OpenAI, on the other hand, prefers to make a limited explanation for these issues.
In spite of everything, Chatgpt’s visual production ability significantly transforms the user experience. Users have just moved to a level of interaction that is not limited to text. In addition, the flexibility provided by visual production means a new tool, especially for those who produce content. However, the use of these vehicles in a responsible way is critical for the future of technology.
Thanks to the visual production feature, Chatgpt has reached a record number of users. But this expansion process brought about technical capacity limits, access justice and ethical problems. The boundaries and areas of responsibility of artificial intelligence -supported production vehicles seem to be further discussed in the coming period. How OpenAI responds to these developments will be closely monitored.
