Original Title: “$Ghibli Soars 100 Times in Half a Day, New Features of GPT-4o Ignite ‘Miyazaki Style’ Across the Internet”
Last night until this morning, various meme images that closely resemble the style of Hayao Miyazaki’s film works suddenly flooded social media platforms such as X. For example, the popular “Super Universal” meme, which remains widely circulated on the internet, takes on a new charm and vitality under the rendering of Miyazaki’s “Ghibli style.”
Of course, some classic old episodes and iconic scenes also appeared in this “remastering feast,” turning into hellish jokes like “Thank You, Vance” and “Planes Crashing into Buildings.”
At the same time, a meme coin named $Ghibli has also entered a fast track mode on the blockchain. Since its launch at 6 PM yesterday, it has been on a continuous rise, and driven by various rumors this morning, its market value has skyrocketed, surpassing $24 million, with a 24-hour increase of over 10,824%.
What happened? What is Ghibli?
Of course, all of this is attributed to the freshly launched new features of GPT-4o.
On Tuesday, OpenAI activated the built-in image generator of GPT-4o, which is officially referred to as “the most advanced image generator to date,” possessing the capability of “precise, accurate, and realistic output through native multi-models.” People have discovered that this image generator is particularly adept at replicating the anime style of Studio Ghibli created by Miyazaki.
In a tweet on Wednesday, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman initiated this “Ghibli virus spread” and even changed his profile picture to an image in Ghibli style.
Subsequently, many Twitter celebrities began to follow suit, uploading their own images rendered in Ghibli style. Even Musk, the founder of Grok AI and OpenAI’s competitor, commented in his “image-sharing tweet”: “This is the theme of the day.”
Although ChatGPT previously allowed users to create images from text prompts, it did so by routing them to another separate OpenAI model, DALL-E 3.
The reason GPT-4o is designated as “O” is that it is an “Omni” model. This means that OpenAI has trained it not only on text code but also on image code, and even audio and video, enabling it to understand all these forms of media and their similarities, and to generate the requested media based on user prompts without needing to connect to any external models.
Recently, AI giants have been engaged in fierce competition over image creation models, with Google also updating its Gemini 2.0 Flash experimental image creation model. Clearly, having AI as a personal artist to create images that fully understand your intent is becoming an increasingly simple task.
However, Hayao Miyazaki, co-founder of Studio Ghibli, has previously expressed strong opposition to AI-generated animation. In a meeting in 2016, Miyazaki stated regarding AI animation: “I feel completely disgusted. If you really want to create something creepy, you can go ahead. I never want to incorporate this technology into my work,” adding that he believes it is “an insult to life itself.”
How to generate your own Ghibli?
First, navigate to chat.com or chatgpt.com, ensuring that you are using a GPT Plus, Pro, or Team account, and that the AI model selector shows “GPT-4o.”
Use the “+” button in the bottom left corner of the real-time input text box to upload an image, and then you can instruct the new GPT-4o with image creation capabilities to “redraw this image in Ghibli animation style.” You can also upload multiple images and combine them into one using the Ghibli style. In short, don’t hesitate to experiment, as 4o will surprise you with its results.
Of course, the related meme token $Ghibli merely combines the artistic aesthetics of Studio Ghibli with the trend of AI-generated content in narrative, and attention is the reason it quickly gained popularity on Twitter. However, the team behind the token is currently unclear, and investors should approach the associated risks with caution.
