OpenAI's ChatGPT saw record-breaking user growth following its latest rollout, causing GPU capacity challenges for the company.

OpenAI's ChatGPT recently introduced a new image generation feature, allowing users to transform images into the style of Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli), once again setting off a trend. However, high system traffic has led OpenAI to impose usage limits.

ChatGPT's popular GPT-4o image generation tool that creates Studio Ghibli-style images is now available to everyone, including free users.

OpenAI's Ghibli impresses users with its ability to create detailed, hand-painted visuals reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki’s works.

The disruption reportedly happened due to a sudden surge in demand, possibly from users generating AI images and text.

Social media is flooded with images imitating Japanese animation company Studio Ghibli, whose co-founder once called AI-generated art an “insult to life itself.”

The latest version of OpenAI's image generation technology has resulted in a flood of users sharing images transformed in the style of Studio Ghibli.

Users quickly began making the most of the policy change — sharing “Ghiblified” images of 9/11, Adolf Hitler, and the murder of George Floyd. The official White House account on X even shared a Studio Ghibli-style image of an ICE officer detaining an alleged illegal immigrant.
