New Studio Ghibli style memes!

[irjO]

Apparently ChatGPT has a new update where you can upload photographs and convert them into a studio Ghibli art type of image. The function is not bad, and of course, some people already are taking advantage of it, converting some memes and famous political pics into studio ghibli memes.


The man throwing a shoe against Bush!


Trump walking by and ignoring Greta


Macron and his “peculiar” taste.


The famous debate between Trump and Killary.


Trump not giving a S*** of what Merkel was saying.


The comedy show of Zelenskyy- Trump press debate.


Trump and Melania at the Gala


The “crazy” woman wanting to off board the airplane!


Che Guevara!


The meme of the girls vs the cat!


Elon jumping like a maniac!


Alex Jones angry as usual!

Among many more that there are on X

I saw those all over X yesterday, lol. I like the Trump and Merkel one, but didn't see the Trump ignoring Greta one.

 

[irjO]

Even the White House is doing it lol


And this is the real image:

I kinda like this Ghibli AI trend. The new GPT model really nailed the Ghibli style, while keeping all the characters easily recognisable, making the images generated less "soulless" than with previous AI models.

At first I was kind of marveled, then I saw the clip of Hayao Miyazaki on AI, now I see it as an insult to him, to his work...as he call it, to life.

I understand the point, however by referring to this video it’s just a different situation and technology he is talking about. I don’t think is insulting using this art style as a filter that chatGPT can create some for photographs. If used only for these kind of purpose, also for those people who were unfamiliar with the Ghibli movies, will be now, thanks to this trend perhaps.
So I guess its perspective of how you look at it.

I've seen that clip and it's from 2016. People were posting his quote about an insult to life, but that was in reference to that grotesque AI monstrous thing they had created. Nonetheless, I don't think we have an official statement on what he thinks about the AI "Ghiblification" we've seen in the past few days. While it may be insulting, could it also help to promote his work merely due to exposure?

Gotta wonder how many revenue streams for artists (image, video, and audio) will be automated away leaving only the very few truly inspired artists making any money. Things like ads, thumbnails, logo design, etc don't always need anything truly original and creative and an AI product is often "good enough". There's a LOT of banal and boring revenue streams out there. A tylenol commercial doesn't need Queen to produce the background jingle.

Of course, one could argue that even little basic things often contain an element of soul and higher inspiration from a talented artist who loves what they do. So maybe the world will become even more generic and uninspired in many ways.

Love it or hate it - this is where we're going, and I always wonder about the ramifications - on the job market, on the "soul" of everything out there, and of course just the fact that all the images/videos/text is going to be fake and no one will know what is real in the digital world anymore. What does that mean for objective reality, or proof/evidence, etc? Would pictures or videos even be admissible in courts in a few years? It's hard enough to find signal in all the noise as it is, aren't we just adding a hell of a lot more noise with AI?

I think carefully managed communities like this forum will become much more important as the only islands of reality. The general internet at large might as well be written off as AI soon. The "dead internet theory" will become much more real than it already is.

Searching for images in Google gives you like half AI images now. Can’t reliably find pictures of animals or nature anymore and it’s a little depressing. Imagine trying to do a remote viewing experiment based on a picture you found, would it still work if it was an AI generated image? “Hmm I’m picking up a lot of 1’s and 0’s that’s odd”

This stuff is evolving so quickly!

I think it's worse than it seems, personally, I love Ghibli movies, yes it seems to me an insult...each movie is years of human creativity, each detail a human observation.

But, as IrjO says, it's a matter of perspective ...that the White House has published it too, the hypocrisy!! are the ones to shouting out unto other countries about copy right policies.

A lot it seems.

Why was $GHIBI an overnight success? In-depth dismantling of the underlying logic of the phenomenal spread of $GHIBLI Meme - a perfect conspiracy of AI technology, childhood sentiment and community spread!

will tell from the event beginning, key event timeline, $GHIBLI price fluctuation and behind the event marketing and other three levels.

1. The essence of the event: the collective memory of the chain carnival
The success of $Ghibli does not rely on a complex narrative, but precisely captures the global resonance of Miyazaki's aesthetics - the emotional value accumulated by Ghibli's animation over the years has found a new breaking point on the chain.

2. The perfect catalyst of AI technology
1/2. February 25, 2025: OpenAI releases GPT-4o, whose built-in image generator is officially described as “the most advanced AI drawing tool to date,” and is particularly good at restoring the Ghibli style.
2/2. March 26, 2025 at 2:18AM:
@sama.
Sam himself changed into an AI-generated Ghibli-style avatar, triggering the spread of the 'Ghibli Virus'.


3/2. Low-threshold creation: GPT-4o allows ordinary users to easily generate Miyazaki style images without the need for professional tools, greatly lowering the threshold of participation.

It’s cute for sure. I feel like the prompts may need tweaking because it seems to miss some of the subtler emotional notes. Trump’s expression just seems off in the Merkel and Zelensky images.

Hmm, I just came across this:

This is why James is one of the best.

He always thinks beyond what we’re being shown. And what’s the truth behind the studio Gibli meme craze?

Well it’s what you might suicide a whistleblower to protect. https://t.co/eBxyYlJMf4

Yesterday my son showed me this cartoon like image style, and it is very intetesting. We tried few images and they look very intetesting. I had one image of my son that I took a few months ago while he plays basketball for the local city club. We converted using chatGPT and looks very interesting.
