The "OpenAI Dall-E Image" robot skill returns the following error message in ARC. I assume this is because the skill has been discontinued. Is there a ChatGPT alternative robot skill I can use instead?
Context:
- ARC Version: 2026.05.24.00 (running on Windows 10)
- This is an ARC robot skill that appears to call the OpenAI API (not related to any EZB hardware).
- I encountered the error while running an ARC project that includes the OpenAI Dall-E Image Skill.

Thanks - looking for confirmation if the skill is discontinued and whether a ChatGPT-style robot skill exists as an alternative.

The deprecation of the image dalle model was done by OpenAI. An update for the skill is in the works to use other options.
Earlier today the dall-e robot skill was updated. While it appears to no longer use dall-e, there are other models selectable by Open AI.
This works well. I just need to work out how to display the image created. When I save it, the previous image is saved rather than the image just created. It's a matter of timing.
