Just days after OpenAI launched its most advanced AI image generator to date, a social media trend imitating the work of Japanese animation company Studio Ghibli is demonstrating both the technology's power and the copyright concerns it raises, CNN reported.
The latest update to GPT-4o, released Tuesday, features many practical advancements, including more accurate text rendering and the ability to follow more detailed, complex prompts. But it has also been trained at length on a "vast variety of image styles," according to a post on OpenAI's website, stunning users with its ability to generate still images and videos reminiscent of their favorite animations, from "South Park" to classic claymation.
But one style quickly flooded X and Instagram, as users of ChatGPT (and OpenAI's text-to-video service, Sora) began emulating the work of beloved animation studio behind movies like "Spirited Away" and "Howl's Moving Castle," as per CNN.
Some recreated scenes from pop culture or politics in the Japanese company's iconic style, including a reworked trailer for "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," scenes from "The Sopranos," and Donald Trump and JD Vance's heated real-life White House exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
