OpenAI’s Post

This collaboration has a lovely “turn tech into family keepsakes” feel, not just fun, but a way to preserve kids’ imagination in something tangible.

The feature set is impressive - OpenAI keeps pushing really god ways. But generating children's images needs serious guardrails. This isn't like "your portrait as an elf" - it's creating realistic child imagery, which opens dangerous doors even with good intentions. Hope the safety measures are bulletproof here. Consent, verification, usage monitoring - all critical. Innovation is great. Child safety is non-negotiable.

This is a masterclass in translating generative tech into human centric experiences. From an architectural perspective, the next quantum leap for this 'Emotional UX' is adaptive audio. Adding context-aware voice and soundscapes would truly bridge the gap between a 'tool' and a 'companion.

This is such a fun way to bring kids' creativity to life! I love the idea of turning their toy concepts into printable coloring pages—such a great keepsake. The holiday story creator is also a perfect way to make those family moments extra special. How do you think these tools could help spark more creative thinking in kids during the holidays?

I believe they have to improve on creating coloring pages, as the lines never the same, and transparency is always different, shades, and gradients are a lot.

These GPTs look clearly child focused, which makes it odd to roll them out while the long-term age prediction “feature is rolling out gradually and may not be available in your country yet.” That leaves a gap where some minors still get the adult experience unless they self-report or a parent knows how to intervene. For a tool kids may turn to in moments of distress, that safety risk is not a minor detail.

OpenAI's evolution is fascinating to watch - NORNS AI integration, multimodal capabilities, ecosystem expansion. They're building toward something genuinely transformative. That said: generating images of children is a minefield. Even with safeguards, this tech could be misused in horrifying ways. Deepfakes, identity theft, worse. The ethical complexity here is massive. I trust OpenAI's safety team is taking this seriously, but this feature makes me nervous in ways others don't.

ELF via ChatGPT signals a shift: AI is becoming not just a tool for coders or data‑scientists, but a ready platform for product teams and innovators. For a company like us that intersects health and technology, it opens doors to smarter, faster solutions. Which sectors do you think will benefit most from easier access to ELF — healthcare, education, e‑commerce, or something else entirely?

This isnt about elves or Christmas cheer. Its about imprinting a generation on AI early so tomorrows innovators grow up thinking Why would I create anything without it? The future is being shaped while everyone thinks its playtime.
