One million users in hour: OpenAI’s new AI tool creates buzz

Sam Altman’s Ghibli-Style Image Generator Breaks the Internet

Sam Altman CEO of OpenAI recently introduced a new image generator. This tool creates pictures in the style of Studio Ghibli. After its launch it quickly gained popularity. Many people shared their Ghibli-style images on social media.

Altman revealed that the platform added one million users in just one hour. He compared this to ChatGPT’s launch 26 months ago. At that time the platform took five days to reach the same milestone. The sudden rise in users caused some technical issues. Altman even asked people to slow down their usage.

Social media users had mixed reactions. Some were excited about this new feature. Others criticized OpenAI for using Ghibli’s art style. They argued that the company benefited from the Japanese studio’s work without proper credit. One user sarcastically pointed out that OpenAI would probably send a royalty check to Studio Ghibli.

Despite the controversy people continued experimenting with the tool. Many appreciated how the AI replicated Ghibli’s soft colors and hand-drawn aesthetics. The tool mimicked the dreamy fantasy-like visuals seen in movies such as Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro.

The debate over AI-generated art is growing. Some believe it is a breakthrough in creativity. Others see it as exploitation of original artists. The success of this new tool raises important questions about AI and art.
