OpenAI has launched an image library feature for ChatGPT, allowing users to easily access their AI-generated images.

However, users face limitations as they cannot delete individual images from the library; they must delete entire conversation threads to remove associated images.

Available to all users, including free, Plus, and Pro subscribers, the image library can be accessed on both mobile and desktop platforms.

Current copyright laws are struggling to keep pace with the complexities of AI-generated content, raising important questions about ownership and intellectual property rights.

The emergence of hybrid roles combining human creativity with AI technology could create new opportunities in the creative sector.

Overall, the introduction of this feature reflects OpenAI's commitment to enhancing ChatGPT's functionality and keeping users engaged in the evolving landscape of AI.

Only images generated with the latest ChatGPT 4o model will appear in the library, excluding those created with the older DALL-E model.

This library includes options for editing, saving, and sharing images, with an 'Edit' button that links back to the original conversation for modifications.

As AI technologies evolve, concerns about the misuse of AI-generated images for deepfakes and misinformation highlight the need for robust safety regulations.

This update comes at a time of heightened interest in AI-generated images, prompting OpenAI to create a dedicated space for users' creations.

OpenAI is currently backfilling older images into the library, meaning users will see more of their previously generated images added in the coming days.

The absence of a straightforward delete option has been noted as a potential inconvenience for users.
