00:00From Chota Pandit to the Disaster Girl to Turkey's Olympic Shooter, everything has been Ghibli-fied.
00:10I tried my hand at it too. Here, take a look.
00:14Social media has turned into a Studio Ghibli dreamscape.
00:17From breathtaking watercolour landscapes to expressive hand-drawn characters,
00:21OpenAI's latest update has sparked a viral Ghibli art fest.
00:25It all started on March 25th when OpenAI launched its newest image generation tool as part of GPT 4.0.
00:31Users quickly realised it was eerily good at mimicking the iconic art style of Hayao Miyazaki.
00:37Studio Ghibli, founded by legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki,
00:41is famous for its hand-drawn, dreamlike animation and deeply emotional storytelling.
00:46Films like Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle have captivated audiences worldwide,
00:53making the Ghibli aesthetic instantly recognisable and beloved.
00:57Soon, the internet was flooded with Ghibli-style selfies, pets, pop-culture icons,
01:02even everyday objects like coffee cups and bicycles.
01:05Even OpenAI CEO Sam Orc joined the fun.
01:08He joked on X about spending a decade building AI, facing years of indifference and criticism,
01:13only to wake up one day to hundreds of messages turning him into a twink Ghibli-style character.
01:19So, what's new with OpenAI's update?
01:21ChatGPT, powered by GPT 4.0, now lets users create images directly in chat.
01:26But not without hiccups. Access for free users was delayed
01:29and a bizarre bug made the AI generate sexy men, but not sexy women.
01:33Love it or hate it, AI art is evolving and for now, the internet is happily living in a Ghibli-inspired wonderland.
