If you are on the Internet-or at least, on the social network X-on the last day or so, you will likely encounters colorful anime-style coloring images of Japanese studio style, studio ghibli (manufacture Princess Mononocand The boy and the craneAnd My neighbor TotoroAmong many other classic animated films).
In fact, some users complain that their extracts seem to be full of these types of images almost exclusively.
Whether the current president is Trump, the iconic image of the “man of the tank” during the pro -democracy protests, Tiananmen Midan, Osama bin Laden, Jeffrey Epstein, or even moments of other pop culture and characters such as Sam Rokuel Al -Murabram White Lotus And many of the famous aimals of Al -Awali, people were making these pictures and sharing them in a quick clip.


Silver from GPT-4O Model Gen
Many of the new Openaii update to the GPT-4O behind Chatgpt for Pro, Plus and Team Stains Tiers, which works to “generate original photo”.
While ChatGPT allowed users in advance to create pictures of text claims, he did this by directing them to another separate Openai model, Dall-E3.
But Openai’s GPT-4O model is the name “O” because it is the “omni” model-the company trained it not only on the text and the symbol, but also on the images and it is assumed to be a video and voice as well, while allowing it to be able to understand everything from the forms of media or similarities, and its vision of ideas through it (Apple “is just a word, but it is accurate without Contact any external models.
As a result, such as the last update of Google Ai Studio to include the Gemini 2.0 Flash trial form, the new Openai GPT-4O can also accept photo downloads for any previously present image in your camera roll or you photographed or stopped from the web.
How to use Chatgpt to make Studio Ghibli-style (and change or transfer any image to any style!)
First, go to chat.com or chatgpt.com and make sure you log in with a Chatgpt Plus, Pro or team account and that the artificial intelligence specified (located in the left corner of the session window) displays “GPT-4O” as a chosen model (you can click it to download it and determine the appropriate model between the available options).

Once you do this, you can download a picture to Chatgpt using the “+” button in the lower left corner of the input text box, you can now ask the new GPT-4O with the image creation form to present your previous image in a new style.

If you want, you can try it by downloading a picture of yourself and friends and writing, “Make all these people in the style of animated Ghibli Studio.” After a few seconds, he will do so with some convincing and entertaining results. It even supports connecting multiple images and merged them into one piece.

Recent use of the free layer
Openai said at the beginning that it will enable this feature for free (for non -resident Chatgpt users), but unfortunately for them, co -founder and CEO SAM Altman today published that the feature will be delayed due to the huge demand by subscribers who pay the payment to Chatgpt Plus, Pro, and Team Tiers.
As written on x:
“Chatgpt photos are more popular than we expected (we had very high expectations).
Unfortunately, the dish will be delayed to our free layer for a while.“
Meanwhile, those who have access to photo adjustments in this and other known or new patterns will continue.
Of course, not everyone who loves Openai’s work here. In fact, the Creator of the Ghibli Hayao Miyazaki himself appeared in a documentary in 2016-one of the unforgettable moments of which still indicates this day, is his reaction to extreme disgust and disgust to an early example on animation and physics that are implemented from artificial intelligence.

As with many Ontician artificial intelligence products and services, these Openai training data remains the ability to generate new images under the winding, but they are widely expecting to contain copyrights protected materials – while imitation of the style is not generally considered a violation of copyright in the United States, but it rubs some fans of original animation in the wrong way.
At the present time, these brands and institutions that look forward to playing this style should do with a serious study, given the potential negative trembling between some users. But for those who are tools in support of any or more than the rules of the fans of forgiveness and fun, it is clear that Openai has succeeded in his hands.
