- ChatGPT recently introduced an enhanced GPT-4o-powered image generation tool, and it quickly gained popularity for its ability to recreate images in the style of Studio Ghibli.
- High user demand across various premium subscription tiers has forced OpenAI to delay access for free-tier users.
- Although alternative AI tools can get similar results, ChatGPT’s rendition is being praised as the closest match to Studio Ghibli’s iconic aesthetic.
ChatGPT recently announced an improved native image generation experience powered by the GPT-4o model, which is rolling out to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, and Free subscription tiers. The image generation experience was an instant hit, with many users taking to platforms like X to share ChatGPT-edited images in various art forms, most notably ones that imitate Studio Ghibli’s style.
