OpenAI is facing both opportunities and challenges as it integrates image generation capabilities into ChatGPT and navigates copyright concerns. The integration of GPT-4o powered image generation into ChatGPT simplifies image creation, making it accessible to a broader audience without requiring specialized technical or artistic skills. Users can now generate detailed images from basic text descriptions, offering diverse visual styles for various fields like business, marketing, education, and personal projects. This new feature has contributed to record usage levels for the chatbot. The surge in user activity, fueled by a viral trend involving Ghibli-style image generation, has also temporarily strained OpenAI’s infrastructure.
The viral use of Studio Ghibli-inspired AI imagery from OpenAI’s ChatGPT has also raised concerns about copyright. Legal experts point out that while artistic styles themselves may not always be protected, closely mimicking a well-known look could fall into a legal grey area. In a separate controversy, O’Reilly Media is accusing OpenAI of illegally training its latest AI model, GPT-4o, on copyrighted and non-public content. A study by O’Reilly Media found that GPT-4o demonstrates stronger recognition of non-public content from O’Reilly Media (AUROC score: 82%) than public content (AUROC score: 64%), suggesting that OpenAI’s development teams may have trained one of their most advanced models on restricted content without authorization.
In addition to navigating copyright challenges, OpenAI is also exploring potential strategic moves to enhance its market position. The company has entered discussions about potentially acquiring "io Products," an AI hardware startup where CEO Sam Altman collaborates with former Apple design chief Jony Ive. This acquisition could help OpenAI develop AI-powered personal devices and intensify competition with other tech giants like Apple, Meta, and Google in the AI assistant market. OpenAI is also engaging with the UK government amid consultations on AI training and copyright, advocating for broad access to text and data mining to foster innovation and drive economic growth in the UK.
