OpenAI just dropped a game-changing AI image generation tool—and it’s already making waves. On this week’s segment of Good Day New York, tech expert and Professor of Advanced Media at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School, Shelly Palmer, joins the Fox 5 team to break down the new tool’s astonishing capabilities.

From creating hyperrealistic photos to mimicking iconic artistic styles like Pixar, Studio Ghibli, Picasso, Banksy, and Keith Haring, this AI tool works directly inside ChatGPT—and it’s free for everyone to use.

Shelly explains:

  • How the tool understands image prompts and retains chat context
  • Why this is a massive leap over previous AI image generators
  • How you can make precise edits (like changing shirt color or fixing text)
  • What to know about copyright and public figure restrictions
  • Why tools like this are revolutionizing creative workflows, meme-making, ad creation, and more

Plus, the Fox 5 anchors test it out—with hilarious and fascinating results.

💡 If you’ve ever wanted to turn your imagination into an image just by describing it, now’s your moment. This isn’t just AI—this is vibe-based creativity at scale.
