The internet has a new obsession- Ghibli-styled AI images. OpenAI just dropped its latest GPT-4o AI upgrade that has introduced advanced image-generation capabilities. And users all over the Internet just can’t get enough of it. They are sharing their own Ghibli-inspired portraits, landscapes, and fantasy scenes. But what exactly are Ghibli AI images, and why are they getting so much attention? Let me tell you.
Studio Ghibli dates back to 1986 and was founded by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki. It is now one of the most celebrated animation studios in the world. It has created masterpieces like Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Howl’s Moving Castle. If you have watched any of these, you would’ve noticed that the Ghibli films feature breathtaking hand-drawn animation, vibrant yet muted color palettes, and deeply emotional storytelling.
With the introduction of its latest upgrade, ChatGPT allows users to replicate this distinctive style with the help of AI. Using OpenAI’s “Images in ChatGPT” feature, users can upload their own photos and have them transformed into a dreamy, hand-drawn Ghibli-style illustration. These AI portraits often include soft lighting, expressive eyes, detailed backgrounds, and a sense of magic that captures the essence of Ghibli’s storytelling.
The reasons why these images are getting so much attention on the internet is because not only does it portray artistic beauty, but it has also sparked a sense of nostalgia.
As users share their AI-generated Ghibli portraits on social media, the trend continues to gain momentum. Some are turning their own pictures into animated characters while others are reimagining real-life scenes in Ghibli’s dreamy style. All of these pictures circulating on the internet are pretty fun to see.
