The Ghibli-Style Image Boom and OpenAI’s Call for Patience
OpenAI’s new image-generating update for ChatGPT has sparked a surge of Ghibli-style images on the internet, but CEO Sam Altman has called for users to “chill out” as the demand for the update is straining his team. The new native image generation capability for the GPT-4o model allows the chatbot to generate more nuanced and accurate images. The chatbot now uses the same large language model (LLM) that answers all other text queries, allowing it to better understand user queries and generate images accordingly.
Expanded Access: Now Available to Free Users
OpenAI started the native image generation update with ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users, but free users can now “Ghiblize” their images. The chatbot is also capable of creating various other images, including comics, posters, presentations, and infographics. Studio Ghibli, a Japanese animation film studio, is known for its high-quality filmmaking with hand-drawn animation and rich storytelling. The GPT-4o image generation excels at accurately rendering text, precisely following prompts, and leveraging 4o’s inherent knowledge base and chat context. These capabilities make it easier to create exactly the image you envision, helping you communicate more effectively through visuals and advancing image generation into a practical tool with precision and power.
Multi-Turn Image Refinement for Precise Results
Multi-turn generation is now native to GPT-4o, allowing users to refine images through natural conversation and build upon images and text in chat context. GPT-4o can handle up to 10-20 different objects, ensuring consistency throughout. Additionally, native image generation enables 4o to link its knowledge between text and images, resulting in a model that feels smarter and more efficient. ChatGPT-4o (Omni) is an AI-generated image generation tool that allows users to create high-quality images based on text descriptions. It supports various art styles, including realistic, cartoon, anime, oil painting, sketch, and more.
Advanced Editing and Customization Tools
Users can create memes, posters, diagrams, landscapes, and portraits based on prompts. The tool also allows users to modify existing images by adding/removing elements or changing colors, enhancing image quality and resolution. It also supports style transformations, such as turning a photo into a painting or a pencil sketch. The output specifications support various image sizes (e.g., 1024×1024 pixels for square images), can generate multiple images (e.g., up to 4 variations per request), and can create images with a transparent background.

However, ChatGPT-4o cannot generate NSFW, violent, or copyrighted content, faces of real people and famous personalities may be altered for privacy, and sometimes struggles with complex text overlays or intricate details. Users can request an image by describing what they want, such as “Generate a futuristic city at night with neon lights.” ChatGPT-4o’s image generation system offers a range of customization options and capabilities for both image creation and modification. It can generate a wide variety of images, including photorealistic, cartoon, anime, fantasy, portraits, abstract, logos, icons, memes, fun art, and more.
Limitations and Ethical Considerations
Users can also customize their images by specifying color tones, adjusting color grading, brightness, contrast, removing/replace objects, style transfer, and background removal. Output specifications include a default resolution of 1024×1024 pixels, aspect ratios of 16:9, 4:3, or custom sizes, and the option to generate multiple images at once. Factors of ChatGPT-4o include fast generation, creative and unique outputs, no need for drawing skills, and flexibility and customization.
