Quickly became one of AI Art Generator most popular, along with MidJourney and Stable Diffusion, DALL-E by OpenAI is capable of bringing simple text descriptions to life with detailed, realistic images and artwork.
FROM-E 2 is the latest version of the system generative artificial intelligence launched by the now well-known research company in January 2021 and is particularly proficient in combine multiple concepts, attributes and styles for truly original creations with a four times the resolution of the original.
But the most interesting thing is that in recent weeks, with the addition of more than 70 plugins on ChatGPT, OpenAI has allowed a select audience to directly test the integration of DALL-E 2 inside the chatbox. It is now possible to create images directly from the interface ChatGPT 4using DALL-E to capture different ideas and suggestions.
The potential of this evolution of ChatGPT, albeit subtle, is significant and will become even more so in the coming months. Especially for blogger, content creator and anyone looking to produce quality graphics. In fact, the right image can capture the essence of a text, involve readers as much as possible and increase SEO, i.e. the visibility of a page on search engines.
However, finding the perfect image can not only cost money, it can also be time consuming. The assistance of an AI chatbot like ChatGPT could make things easier, but you still need to learn how to use it correctly to get a satisfactory result.

1. How to activate DALL-E 2 on ChatGPT 4
To use all the new features GPT Chat has been equipped with, including the third party plugins enable OpenAIit is necessary to subscribe the Plus planthe paid version of the famous chatbot that offers greater speed and accuracy for a monthly fee of about 20 dollars.
After logging into ChatGPT Plus, you need to activate the plugins. Then, click on the drop-down menu “GPT-4” located at the top and tick the option “Plugins”. If this item does not appear, you need to enable the plug-ins from your account settings.
Then, press on the three dots next to your name at the bottom left and select “Settings”. Once in the settings, just go to the beta features tab and activate the “Plugins”.
At this point, go back to the main screen and right below the GPT-4 menu the entry should appear “No plugins enabled” or for those who had already activated the function, the icons of the activated plug-ins.

2. Generate images with DALL-E 2 via GPT Chat
Once the plugin is installed, you need to address your request to ChatGPT. An example prompt might be: “Generate an image of an astronaut dog riding a horse in space.”
But to get accurate answers from the chatbot, it is crucial write effective prompts. Today we hear a lot about prompt engineering, or techniques for communicating with an artificial intelligence and obtaining the desired results. The historic “garbage in, garbage out” rule of computing that was in effect when the first computers were developed has not lost its validity.
Given the quality of the input, ChatGPT is said to return images with the same quality you would get with the official version of the DALL-E website, but with a 3:2 ratio, therefore breaking the standard limit of tile used within the default version of the generator. Also, it appears that the image size is 1792 x 1024.
What’s even more interesting is that if you expand the DALL-E dropdown menu just above the image, you can see that using this plug-in creates a custom text prompt. Which would then be what the chatbot used to ask DALL-E to generate the image.
But it is also possible copy and paste a text in the chatbox of GPT Chat and ask him to create a certain number of images for a blog post based on the context of the pasted article. At this point, all we have to do is let ChatGPT put its request to DALL-E 2 to generate some images and take a look at the result.
Once this is done, you will get a response in the form of JSON code, but scrolling down will reveal the images embedded in ChatGPT. You can right click on them to save them.
