4 wild ways ChatGPT image generation is being used now that its free

Mashable - Tue, 04/01/2025 - 12:18

ChatGPT's image generation tool rolled out to free users this week — which means pretty much everyone can now use OpenAI's tool to create images.

There are, obviously, endless things you can do with the tool. It all comes down to the prompts you feed into ChatGPT. The new image generator, part of ChatGPT's 4o model, is apparently quite impressive. Folks have been playing around with ways to use the image generator, but here are four wild use cases we've seen thus far.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Receipts

This one, well, doesn't seem great. As TechCrunch reported, users online have been using ChatGPT to create real-looking receipts. At face value, that doesn't seem too wild — but consider all the potential for fraud or scams. You can certainly imagine scammers trying to get reimbursed for things that didn't buy.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Design ideas

This use case is certainly less harmful than fake receipts: ChatGPT could help you design your home. Tech journalist Kevin Roose posted an example. He took screenshots of a bunch of furniture and had ChatGPT compose those images into a room design. That could prove to be a helpful tool in designing your home — and saving you the trouble of buying a couch that won't look good.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Advertisements

Lots of folks online have posted examples of using ChatGPT's image generation tool to create ads. In general — like most AI — the ads typically copy the style of real ads. But they do look pretty compelling.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Animation

You can turn pretty much anything into animation with ChatGPT's image creation. X user @BennettWaisbren, for instance, posted Severance characters in different animation styles.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

With all users now having access to ChatGPT's image tool, there will likely be lots of new use cases to come. And, as always, be careful out there and look out for bad actors creating AI images.

There are plenty of discounts sticking around post-sale, and you bet we're keeping an eye on them. We've rounded up a few of the best deals you can still shop as of April 1.

Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. None of these catching your eye? Check out our running list of all the best deals still live from the sale.

Our top pick: Apple iPad, 10th generation Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad, 10th generation (64GB, WiFi) $269 at Amazon
$349 Save $80 Get Deal

Although the Big Spring Sale is over, the 10th generation iPad is still on sale for a very affordable $269 (23% off its usual $349), thanks to a newer model dropping last month. (Note that this sale price may only be available in some areas.) That's just $10 shy of its best price ever from last Black Friday. Don't count it out because a newer generation is in town; the 10th generation iPad is still our top pick for anyone on a budget. It packs an A14 Bionic chip, a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, a landscape camera layout that makes video calls appear better, and upgraded stereo speakers for better sound quality. "It's perfect for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading," Mashable Shopping Reporter Sam Mangino writes.

Sony SRS-XG300 Bluetooth speaker Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony SRS-XG300 Bluetooth speaker $142.95 at Amazon
$349.99 Save $207.04 Get Deal

"If you're looking for an easily portable outdoor speaker that delivers some serious thunder, the SRS-XG300 earns our Editors' Choice," our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) summed up in their review. Offering 25 hours of battery power, a 10-minute charge boost that delivers another 70 minutes, colorful LED lights, and in-app sound customization, they deemed it as powerful as it is portable. A bit steep on a regular day at $349.99, you can grab it on April 1 for only $142.95. That's 59% in savings and its lowest price on record.

Kindle Paperwhite Kids Opens in a new window Credit: Kindle Kindle Paperwhite Kids $139.99 at Amazon
$179.99 Save $40 Get Deal

The only Kindle deal to stick around post-Big Spring Sale is the Kindle Paperwhite Kids at 22% off (the others end at 12 p.m. ET). As of April 1, it's still sitting at $139.99 instead of the usual $179.99. It's a bit heftier than the typical Paperwhite, which makes for a sturdier design that can stand up to any kid's destructive tendencies (within reason). Parents can monitor the content their child is consuming via built-in parental controls, plus it comes with six free months of Amazon Kids+, which is loaded with lots of age-appropriate books. It's our favorite Kindle for kiddos.

Roku Wireless Soundbar Opens in a new window Credit: Roku Roku Wireless Soundbar $99.99 at Amazon

If you have a Roku TV, but wish it sounded better, snag yourself the Roku Wireless Soundbar while it's back on sale for 33% off. Usually $149.99, it's down to just $99.99 once again post-Big Spring Sale. It's not packed with a ton of fancy features, but it can "drastically improve the sound your Roku TV can put out," as our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) put it. Not to mention, it can seamlessly fit into any entertainment space and requires no cables to set it up.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 Opens in a new window Credit: Google Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 $179 at Amazon
$229 Save $50 Get Deal

Last summer, Google dropped a new pair of Pixel Buds Pro. The second rendition leans heavily into AI, for better or worse, to drastically improve noise cancellation, enhance phone calls, and automatically detect IRL conversations so you don't have to remove them to talk to someone. They also promise a better fit, boosted battery life, and a lighter and smaller design. While we haven't tested them ourselves, our sister site PCMag did and found them to be "great for Pixel users and good for everyone else." Usually $229, they're back on sale for only $179 at Amazon as of April 1. That's 22% in savings.

While Adult Swim revealed Rick and Morty Season 8's premiere date on April Fool's Day, rest assured that the news is no joke.

Rick and Morty returns May 25, and to celebrate, Adult Swim also released a distinctly Easter-themed first look (along with an actual live-action April Fool's Day special).

In the teaser, Rick (voiced by Ian Cardoni) and Morty (voiced by Harry Belden) find themselves in what Morty calls a "Wicker Man looking place," full of burning bunny effigies and people in robes and rabbit masks. Apparently, this is German Easter.

The pair discover a foreboding stained glass window of a terrifying Easter bunny-human hybrid, which hides a massive alien Easter egg. Also on the hunt for the egg? Space Christians, who don't take kindly to Rick and Morty's presence. Cue a scanning standoff (and some choice insults by Rick).

Rick and Morty Season 8 premieres May 25 at 11 p.m. ET on Adult Swim, and streams on Max and Hulu Sept. 1.
