DALL-E in ChatGPT - Alpha access program for ChatGPT Plus users to integrate DALL-E 3 image generation within ChatGPT.

## Purpose of DALL-E in ChatGPT The "DALL-E in ChatGPT" project provides alpha access to ChatGPT Plus users, enabling them to generate images using DALL-E 3 directly within the ChatGPT platform. It integrates OpenAI’s advanced image-generation model with ChatGPT’s conversational interface, allowing users to create images via text prompts. ## Eligibility for DALL-E in ChatGPT Only **ChatGPT Plus subscribers** are eligible. Applicants must provide: - A valid email address - Their Discord username (must be a member of OpenAI’s public Discord server) - The email linked to their ChatGPT Plus account. ## Application Process for DALL-E in ChatGPT Applicants must fill out a [Google Form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdiJK7uFzjfIqbH9wGeXnmR3rwjnLUMwih_W5Cet0FVdv8-aQ/viewform) with: 1. **Required fields**: Email, Discord username, ChatGPT account email, and confirmation of Plus subscription. 2. **Note**: Passwords must not be submitted. Approval is reportedly faster for Plus users, likely due to manual review. ## Features of DALL-E in ChatGPT - **Seamless integration**: Generate images within ChatGPT’s chat interface using text prompts. - **DALL-E 3 capabilities**: Create high-quality images adhering to OpenAI’s content policies. - **Usage limits**: As of 2023, users could send up to 50 messages/hour; limits may have changed by 2025. ## Current Status (2025) of DALL-E in ChatGPT While DALL-E 3 was fully integrated into ChatGPT Plus/Enterprise by 2023, the alpha form remains accessible as of March 2025, possibly for additional user onboarding. The form’s longevity suggests ongoing or archival use, though its exact role in post-alpha stages is unclear. ## Controversies and Limitations - **Access inequality**: Priority for paying subscribers sparked debates about equitable access. - **Alpha-stage bottlenecks**: Some users reported rejection or delays in 2023 due to limited capacity. - **Manual review**: Alpha approvals involving human verification diverged from typical automated processes. ### Citation sources: - [DALL-E in ChatGPT](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdiJK7uFzjfIqbH9wGeXnmR3rwjnLUMwih_W5Cet0FVdv8-aQ/viewform) - Official URL Updated: 2025-04-01
