On Tuesday, OpenAI introduced an image generator within ChatGPT, sparking a wave of creativity and new artistic possibilities. However, users quickly began transforming their photos into Studio Ghibli-style images, referencing the beloved anime studio known for films like “The Boy and the Heron.”
As people enjoyed this fun feature, it became a source of humorous exchanges online. In a lighthearted tweet, Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, reflected on his journey towards creating superintelligence. He amusingly described waking up to countless messages like, “look, I made you into a twink Ghibli style haha,” showcasing the unexpected ways users are engaging with the technology.
While there may be concerns about the ethical implications surrounding image rights and the technology’s development, it’s hard not to appreciate the humor and creativity that have emerged from this new feature.
