There’s been a trending meme on Twitter called the “Ghibli Memes” where people convert their images into a cartoon-like design reminiscent of Studio Ghibli’s iconic style. This is easily done using OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4.0, sparking a debate about the ethics of AI-generated art.
To create these memes:
1. Log in to ChatGPT 4.0.
2. Click the search button.
3. Click the plus button.
4. Attach the image you want to convert.
5. Give the prompt: “Turn my image into Studio Ghibli style.”
6. Wait for the image to load.
7. Click on the image to download.
Note: The image must use the correct prompt to generate the desired result.
However, not everyone is pleased with this trend. Hayao Miyazaki, the founder of Studio Ghibli, expressed his disapproval of this technology, stating.
He said, “It’s extremely disturbing. If people want to do something this repulsive, let them, but I don’t want this technology to be associated with my work at all. I feel that this is an insult to life itself.”
Miyazaki’s comments have sparked a backlash from fans who feel that his style is being disrespected by people using AI to generate images without permission. Others argue that this technology is a form of flattery, and that it’s pushing the boundaries of creativity.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: Ai has its own advantage and disadvantage.
