ChatGPT users all over the world have been experiencing a strange problem recently. ChatGPT was down for a few hours, due to the spread of a new viral trend—image generation in Ghibli Art Style. The trend became so popular that it caused a huge load on OpenAI’s servers, causing ChatGPT to be temporarily down.
But what exactly is Ghibli art style? Also, what caused millions of users to crash ChatGPT using it? Find out more in this blog.
What is Ghibli art style?
The unique visual aesthetic of movies produced by the well-known Japanese animation studio Studio Ghibli is known as Ghibli Art Style. Among the well-known films produced by this studio are Princess Mononoke (1997), Spirited Away (2001), My Village Totoro (1988), and Howl’s Moving Castle (2004).
The art design of these movies is very classic, dreamy and fantasy. The backgrounds, characters’ faces and natural scenery also look strange. This is why people like Ghibli’s art very much.
Relation between Ghibli art and ChatGPT
OpenAI has recently improved the image generation capability of its AI model. ChatGPT can now be proposed to convert any picture into Ghibli style. Such as: “Make my photo a movie like Studio Ghibli.” Create a landscape in the style of Hayao Miyazaki.
This feature was so attractive that millions of people started using ChatGPT together. The result? Server overload and ChatGPT will be down for some time.
Why did this trend become so popular?
- Nostalgic appeal: Studio Ghibli movies remind kids of the 90s and 2000s. People loved seeing their pictures look like Ghibli.
- Virality in social media: Ghibli-inspired photographs instantly went viral on Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit.
- Growing AI capabilities—Now AI tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E can create such images in seconds, though earlier experienced artists were required to create such images.
Impact of ChatGPT outage
The shutdown of ChatGPT for a few hours affected some users, including students, who relied on ChatGPT for their search and appointment.
Developers: Those who use AI to assist in coding
Content Creators—They needed ideas for social media posts and artwork.
But ChatGPT is back to being active as OpenAI quickly stabilized the servers.
AI and the future of art
This incident shows that AI is no longer limited to writing—it is also growing rapidly in art, music, and art fields. The example of the Ghibli art trend shows that people want to use AI in new ways.
But, another question arises: will AI replace artists? ** It’s probably impossible, but it is definitely democratizing the world, where anyone can create beautiful art, even without drawing skills.
Performance
This small outage of ChatGPT reminds us of the rapid popularity of AI tools. The Ghibli art trend is just the beginning—we’ll see more creative artificial intelligence trends in the future.
