OpenAI officially opens its DALL-E 2 AI image generator to the general public after a long beta testing period. Over 1.5 million users are currently creating two million images daily.
OpenAI officially opens its DALL-E 2 AI text-to-image generator to the general public. The tool previously operates on an invite-only basis, starting with just 200 hand-picked beta testers before expanding to a waitlist that adds 1,000 new users per week.
Since the initial launch of the first DALL-E version in January 2021, interest in the technology grows rapidly. OpenAI reports that 1.5 million people currently use the system to produce an impressive two million AI-generated images every single day.
This wider availability marks a significant shift in how the public interacts with artificial intelligence art tools. By dropping the waitlist requirement, OpenAI allows everyday users, artists, and researchers to instantly explore the creative possibilities of text-to-image generation.
