- Sam Altman did a funny tweet about the popularity of OpenAI's latest feature.
- ChatGPT will do images now, and people are using it to turn real photos into anime-style images.
- "wake up one day to hundreds of messages: 'look i made you into a twink ghibli style haha'"
On Tuesday, OpenAI launched an image generator inside ChatGPT. In theory, this could create a world of new possibilities for art and creative expression.
In practice, people started immediately using it for one thing: turning their photos into a Studio Ghibli version. (Studio Ghibli is the anime studio behind movies like "The Boy and the Heron."
And, of course, after people turned themselves into anime, they moved on to other things.

You may have conflicted feelings about OpenAI's mission. You may be concerned with whether this image generator was trained on images that were improperly licensed or used without permission. That is all reasonable.
But you have to admit, this is a pretty funny tweet:
>be me
>grind for a decade trying to help make superintelligence to cure cancer or whatever
>mostly no one cares for first 7.5 years, then for 2.5 years everyone hates you for everything
>wake up one day to hundreds of messages: "look i made you into a twink ghibli style haha"— Sam Altman (@sama) March 26, 2025
I just call it like I see it.
