Netizens turn memes, photos and movie stills into images in the style of Studio Ghibli cartoons

Neural networks continue to entertain the Internet. People from all over the world have been turning various photographs and movie frames into images in the style of Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli cartoons for several days now.

The OpenAI company presented a new image generator ChatGPT and broke the Internet a little. It would seem, what does Hayao Miyazaki have to do with it?

OpenAI presented an update for the chatbot on March 25. The developers configured the model so that it would recreate the text from the request in the image as accurately as possible (and not nonsense, as before), process up to 10-20 different objects simultaneously, and take into account images already uploaded by the user in new generations. The new OpenAI generator was made available to all users, including free ones, and then it began.

Most of all, users liked the "filter" in the style of Studio Ghibli cartoons. And then social networks were filled with memes in the style of Hayao Miyazaki's work. The pictures chosen are very different: from the moment of George Floyd's death, after which mass unrest began in the USA, to frames from "Cargo 200".

The new picture generator in ChatGPT turned out to be so popular that it even had to be disabled on the free plan - just a day after the release.
