The latest version of OpenAI’s image generation technology has taken over the internet. From trippy landscapes to quirky avatars, users are going gaga and creating studio Ghibli-style AI images. While some are turning their favourite pics into works of art, others are creating memes using it.

Here are five things to know about the image generator:

What is Ghibli style?

OpenAI recently launched GPT-4o, labelling it the “most advanced image generator yet.” It also creates images replicating Studio Ghibli’s anime style. The company is famous for creating popular anime like The Boy and the Heron and Spirited Away.

Here’s an post by a Blinkit product manager who tried it with iconic Bollywood scenes.

Here are some memes that got the makeover:

ChatGPT on new image generator:

“At OpenAI, we have long believed image generation should be a primary capability of our language models. That’s why we’ve built our most advanced image generator yet into GPT‑4o. The result—image generation that is not only beautiful, but useful,” the AI company wrote.

Sam Altman on Ghibli style:

The OpenAI boss also shared a post on this new development. However, instead of sharing a pic, he took a witty dig at himself.

“Be me. Grind for a decade trying to help make superintelligence to cure cancer or whatever. Mostly no one cares for first 7.5 years, then for 2.5 years everyone hates you for everything. Wake up one day to hundreds of messages: ‘look i made you into a twink ghibli style haha’,” he posted on X. He also changed his profile picture on X into the same Studio Ghibli style.

Who can use the image generation feature?

The ChaGPT’s new native image generation feature was scheduled to roll out for Plus, Pro, Team and Free users on the chatbots. However, in a later X post, Sam Altman updated that the feature for the Free users has been “delayed for a while”.

Evan Brown, an intellectual property lawyer at the law firm Neal & McDevitt, told Techcrunch that this product by OpenAI falls in a legal grey area.

“I think this raises the same question that we’ve been asking ourselves for a couple years now,” he said, adding, “What are the copyright infringement implications of going out, crawling the web, and copying into these databases?”

While people are having fun generating Ghibli-style photos, some are also wondering what it is all about—especially those who are not well-versed in the world of anime. As people search more about this style and ChatGPT’s image generator, the word Ghibli is trending on Google.
