Another thing is not, but if something is giving us the growing sector of AI is an exciting fight among the big technological companies. Every time it seems that an AI is advanced with respect to the rest, one of the rivals appears with a great advance that puts the sector upside down. That was the case of the new Chatgpt image generator with the GPT-4O model, which has generated emotion and controversy.
It seems a lie, but only with this addition Chatgpt has gone from being eclipsed by Gemini and Deepseek has conquer social networks; And all, thanks to the meme of creating images with Ghibli style, which has become immensely popular, to the point that it is already being used by some brands. This filter Convert any photograph into the frame of a Ghibli Studio movieapplying the cartoon style to people, animals and locations.
The Ghibli style has become so popular that it has become a ‘problem’ for Openai, which reported that His gpus were ‘melting’ for the number of users who were requesting the creation of images with the new model. Therefore, it is curious that the company has now decided to take a step that its servers will probably force even more.
From now on, The creation of images with chatgpt is freealthough with important limitations. Until now, the new GPT-4o model was only available for payment users in the PLUS subscription of Chatgpt, but the company has now decided to open it to all users. Therefore, all we need is to create an account in Chatgpt to create images, in addition to editing our Ghibli -style photos or any other change we want to make.
Although the company has not confirmed it, it is evident that there are a lot of limitations for free chatgpt users. In the tests carried out by the Spanish – the free android, the limit seems to be in Only an image created by the every day; If we try to create a second image, a message appears that indicates the amount of hours we have to wait to create another. In addition, there is also a limitation in the amount of files that can be attached. The solution, of course, is to buy the chatgpt plus subscription, which costs $ 20 per month.
It is evident that this decision to make the generation of free images is an attempt to attract more users to its payment subscriptions, and that the company wants Take advantage of Ghibli’s meme while hard. It is surprising, taking into account that these types of images have not been well received throughout the world and reflect the big piracy problem and violation of rights that continue to have AI.
Many users accuse OpenAI of stealing Studio Ghibli, the Japanese animation study founded by the legendary director Hayao Miyazaki; They suggest that Chatgpt is able to copy the style so well because the model could have been trained with their films. It is an ironic case, taking into account that in the past Miyazaki has strongly criticized AI, describing it as “an insult to life itself” When he saw an animation created with this technology.
