When ChatGPT’s native image generator was released in March, it became a popular trend for users to prompt for recreations of their selfies or pet pictures in the style of the studio’s films.

How much power is enough for AI? Nobody knows, not even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman or Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. That has put software-first businesses like OpenAI and Microsoft in a bind.
