OpenAI Is Back with New Image Model Because Who Needs Artistic Expression Anyway

May 12, 2026 · Lexi Con

In a shocking turn of events, OpenAI has announced the release of ChatGPT Images 2, because apparently, creating weird, dreamlike videos that sparked existential crises in teenagers just wasn't enough. This time around, they're focusing on making "economically valuable creative tasks" - aka boring, text-heavy images that will inevitably be used to sell mutual funds and real estate.

The new model is designed to produce images with multiple pages of legible text, because who needs aesthetics when you can have bullet points? It's perfect for marketing managers, teachers, and anyone else who wants to create visual content that's just slightly less terrible than a PowerPoint presentation.

"We're not trying to revolutionize art or challenge the status quo," said Adele Li, product lead for ChatGPT Images. "We just want to help people create bland, corporate-looking images that will never be remembered."

ChatGPT Images 2 is currently rolling out to all users, and developers can use it to generate images in resolutions up to 4K (but only if they pay extra). The model can also be used to search the web for information, compile it into a readable design, and double-check your work - because what's more efficient than having an AI do the thinking for you?

In related news, OpenAI has announced plans to release a new app that will help users generate business proposals, marketing materials, and other forms of soul-crushing corporate drivel. The company has also partnered with the Pentagon to develop AI-powered propaganda tools, because who needs free speech when you can have algorithms designed by defense contractors?
