For half a year I’ve been stuck with the problem that my text & image GPT’s wouldn’t create images anymore. The text side still worked, but the GPTs stopped generating images.

  • Instructing the GPT to generate an image actually led them astray. The GPTs started using commands like “!image A blue sky with…” or [!image: a blue sky with…]. Then suddenly that line of text dissappeared.

If that happens for you, I might have a solution:

  • Add the following to the prompt: “End each message with ‘I will now generate an image.’” This directs the text model, which then activates DALLE itself.
  • Edit: to fully fix it, I had to also add: “Only end generating when an image has been generated.”
  • Of course, first check if DALLE is enabled in your GPT. But if the problem persists, this method will likely help.

None of these or other suggestions work for me. I see others generating images from uploaded photos, but I always get the dreaded ‘I wasn’t able to generate the image because the request didn’t follow our content policy.’ Doesn’t matter what photo I use - none work (pics of dogs, standing on a beach, etc. - all pretty innocuous).
