The new ChatGPT image generator creates a sexy man — but not a woman
Mar 26, 2025 - businessinsider.com
ChatGPT recently introduced an image generation feature that initially had a bug allowing it to create images of "sexy men" but not "sexy women." A software engineer highlighted this issue, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged it as a bug, stating it would be fixed. The image generator allows users to create images from text prompts, but it has restrictions on generating images of real people, especially involving nudity or graphic violence. OpenAI mentioned that while images of adult public figures won't be outright blocked, public figures can opt out of this feature.
The feature aims to enable creative uses in educational, historical, satirical, and political contexts. Despite the initial bug, Business Insider found that ChatGPT could generate an image of a "hot woman" when prompted. OpenAI has implemented "heightened restrictions" for requests involving real people to ensure responsible use, and the company did not provide further comments on the matter.
