The internet and social media have recently become vibrant spaces filled with images inspired by the art style of the famous Japanese animation studio, Studio Ghibli, thanks to a new feature launched by OpenAI, sparking a wave of digital interaction and creativity among users.
A New Technology Revives the “Ghibli” Art Form
Within just 24 hours of OpenAI’s announcement about new image-generation capabilities in its latest model, GPT-4o, thousands of images flooded the internet, inspired by the distinctive artistic style pioneered by Hayao Miyazaki, one of the co-founders of Studio Ghibli.
The new update allows paid subscribers (starting at $20 per month) to upload their images and request a transformation into the signature Studio Ghibli style, resulting in soft drawings and dreamy colors that mimic the worlds of Ghibli films like “My Neighbor Totoro” and “Spirited Away.”
Widespread Popularity on Social Media
Social media platforms witnessed a massive influx of images modified in the new style. The experience wasn’t limited to personal photos but extended to snapshots from TV series, historical events, even animal pictures and trending memes, further enhancing the feature’s popularity among users.
One of the most common uses has been converting family photos, pictures of friends, and pets into Ghibli-style artworks, with many wanting to see their favorite moments as if they were part of a classic anime film.
Support from Prominent Figures
It wasn’t just ordinary users engaging with the feature. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, also joined the trend by changing his profile picture on X (formerly Twitter) to a Studio Ghibli-style image, further increasing global interest in the new technology.
Integration with “Sora” Video Technology
Creativity doesn’t stop with images alone. Users can also benefit from the tool’s integration with Sora, OpenAI’s text-to-video model, enabling the creation of animated content inspired by the Ghibli universe.
The Future of Digital Art and AI
This development represents a significant step in merging artificial intelligence with digital art, allowing users to transform their ordinary photos into artistic masterpieces inspired by Japanese cinema. It highlights the rapid advancements in image processing technologies and personalization according to individual taste.
As this feature continues to attract more users, the question remains: Will other companies expand into similar technologies, or will OpenAI remain the leader in this field?
