What is Studio Ghibli? ChatGPT’s new image feature sparks a viral revival of iconic Japanese animation

The globe was rocked by OpenAI’s native image creation feature on Wednesday. Since then, social media users have discovered that the new tool is also highly adept at mimicking other artistic styles. As a result, they have utilized it to transform their photographs into company Ghibli-style images and gain access to the Japanese animation company.

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, quickly followed suit by switching his X profile photo to a Studio Ghibli-style image and asked social network users if they would be ready to use ChatGPT to make him a better one.

However, what is Studio Ghibli art exactly, and who can make it with ChatGPT’s new feature? Let’s examine it more closely.

What is Studio Ghibli art?

In 1985, Miyazaki Hayao, Takahata Isao, and Suzuki Toshio established the Japanese animation film studio Studio Ghibli. The firm is renowned for its deep storytelling and hand-drawn animation in its high-quality films.

Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Princess Mononoke are a few of the company’s best-known animated productions.

Miyazaki Hayao has referred to AI-generated animation as a “insult to life itself” in a 2016 interview, but Studio Ghibli has not yet responded to ChatGPT’s ongoing usage of its artwork.

“I can’t watch this stuff and find [it] interesting. Whoever creates this stuff has no idea what pain is whatsoever. I am utterly disgusted. If you really want to make creepy stuff, you can go ahead and do it. I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.” Hayao said in that interview.

Who can use ChatGPT’s native image generation feature?

ChaGPT’s new native picture generating functionality will be made available to Plus, Pro, Team, and Free customers starting Wednesday, according to OpenAI. However, Sam Altman acknowledged that the release of this functionality for Free users would be “delayed for a while” in a post on X (previously Twitter) on Thursday.

The business also stated that it will “soon” offer it out to Enterprise and Edu users using its API.

If you don’t have a premium account, how can you make Ghibhli portraits?

Unfortunately, Ghibli portraits cannot be made for free if you do not have a paid ChatGPT account. I’ve attempted to use Google AI Studio’s native image generating features in the Gemini model, but the outcomes are far from satisfactory.

Asking the chatbot to convert your photograph to Studio Ghibli art should be sufficient if you currently have an active ChatGPT subscription. Several users have even posted pictures demonstrating that they asked ChatGPT to “Ghiblify” their photos, and it appears that this was successful. We are unable to determine whether this particular prompt will be effective for every user because we do not have access to an active ChatGPT membership.
