Artificial intelligence risks taking Japanese anime artists' jobs but nothing can replicate Hayao Miyazaki, the creative lifeblood of the studio behind classics such as "Spirited Away", his son told AFP.

Dadlani, one half of the Vishal-Shekhar duo, has refused to get on the "ChatGPT Ghibli" bandwagon and opposed the trend

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, says it took five days for ChatGPT to reach 1 million users, a number that seemed insanely fast a little more than two years ago. On Monday, when the company launched the latest iteration of its chatbot, it collected another 1 million users in just 60 minutes.

Sure, it's just some cool images. But it shows the tide is with the customized and the automated — and away from originality.

Sam Altman teases “images v2” on X, signaling major upgrades to OpenAI’s image tool amid rising demand and ongoing legal questions.

Social media has recently been flooded with images that looked like they belonged in a Studio Ghibli film. Selfies, family photos and even memes have been re-imagined with the soft pastel palette characteristic of the Japanese animation company founded by Hayao Miyazaki.

Chat GPT-4o's image generator has bolstered Studio Ghibli-style AI art. The trend is resurfacing Hayao Miyazaki's comments on AI.

The truth is, Hayao Miyazaki would hate you fucking losers. Every last one of you using this abomination of technology, whether just for a lark or because you actually hold an ideological commitment to killing artistry, jobs, and the Earth in favor of enriching the most craven, grasping, ruinous people alive.

The frenzy to create Ghibli-style AI art using ChatGPT's image-generation tool led to a record surge in users for OpenAI's chatbot last week, straining its servers and temporarily limiting the feature's usage.

This week, OpenAI released an update to GPT-4o, one of the models powering ChatGPT, that allows the program to create high-quality images. I’ve been surprised by how effective the tool is: It follows directions precisely, renders people with the right number of fingers, and is even capable of replacing text in an image with different words.

As ChatGPT's Ghibli-style AI image generator goes viral, a video from 2016 resurfaced in which Hayao Miyazaki is seen slamming during an AI demonstration.
