ChatGPT’s new image tool can 'think'

05:19

OpenAI has rolled out a new version of its ChatGPT image generator, promising better detail and a new “thinking mode” that can pull ideas from the web.

It’s part of an effort to stay ahead of competitors like Google and Anthropic. However, as so-called "AI slop” gets more realistic, it may also get harder to tell what’s real and what isn’t.

Here & Now's Indira Lakshmanan talks with Axios chief technology correspondent Ina Fried about the new tool.

This segment aired on April 27, 2026.
