ChatGPT’s Free Ghibli-Style Image Generator Sparks Creative Frenzy and Controversy

OpenAI updated ChatGPT-4o to include its best text-to-image tools so free users can generate Studio Ghibli artwork by giving basic instructions. Many people now use their internet time to make Ghibli-style photos since users want to add the specific Japanese animation style with pale colors and detailed enhancements to their shots. Businesses organizations institutions and users from all backgrounds enthusiastically take part in this social trend.

Sam Altman emphasizes that OpenAI GPUs are facing extreme wear because people love using the Ghibli feature on X (formerly Twitter). The company holds efficiency improvements in progress so they can activate temporary speed restrictions for now. Users of the free version will only get to make three imagemations each day starting from now.

You need basic steps to transform your photos in the Studio Ghibli style.

  • Open your ChatGPT account through our website or application.
  • Use the plus button near the bottom left to upload your photo to the system
  • Enter your request as “Ghiblify this” or “Apply Studio Ghibli style to this image.”
  • Download your transformed image

Users generally enjoy the Ghibli-style transformation of photos especially for famous film posters but animation fans strongly oppose its use. Some observers consider these AI-created creations as stolen work since Studio Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki publicly opposed AI art.

In his prior media interview Miyazaki stated his dislike for computer-generated animation because it disrupts the nature of living things and he will continue refusing to use it. People disagree on AI development because its creative applications clash with moral problems related to artistic output.
