Why is OpenAI obsessed with generating imgaes? Do they think "generate image" is a thing that a software engineer do on a daily basis?
Even when I was doing heavy web development, I can count the number of times I needed to generate images, and usually for prototyping only.
To me it seems like just a natural evolution of Codex and a direct response to Claude Cowork, rather than something fully claw-like.
It is instructive that they decided to go with weekly active users as a metric, rather than daily active users.
