Everything Is Ghibli: What You Need to Know About the Hottest AI Image Trend
A trend of transforming images into styles reminiscent of Studio Ghibli has surged on social media, leading to increased demand for OpenAI's image generation capabilities. Users can easily "Ghiblify" their photos using OpenAI's GPT-4o model by uploading images and prompting the AI to reproduce them in Ghibli style. This trend has caused significant strain on OpenAI's resources, prompting CEO Sam Altman to announce rate limits on image generations due to GPU overload. The phenomenon has sparked debate about the implications of AI in art, particularly concerning Hayao Miyazaki's critical views on AI-generated art as an "insult to life." Artists express concern over the commercialization of their work through AI, while some see potential for crypto solutions to address intellectual property issues.
