OpenAI has released a new image engine, ChatGPT Images 2.5, saying generation
speed is up to 50% faster and fidelity for people and pets is improved. The
update adds precise editing controls — users can specify edit locations via
sketches or region selection instead of relying solely on text — and enables
photo-to-style conversion, logo design and tattoo modification. OpenAI says the
tool is intended to increase user participation in the creative process. The
upgrade has renewed disputes over AI image copyright and creator rights, with
observers questioning whether training used artists’ works and flagging
potential impacts on the traditional creative industry.
