ChatGPT creating images when not asked to do so
OpenAI Developer Community
June 10, 2026
I often use ChatGPT for art critique, and this is really starting to get annoying. If you hint at: “Maybe I should change this” or “What do you think about adding X?”, the model assumes it is supposed to edit your image and not just provide feedback.
I have to clearly state “DO NOT GENERATE IMAGES” to stop it from happening, at which point ChatGPT apologises that its image generation was automatically triggered.
