Studio Ghibli-Style Ai Trend Trend Fuels Chatgpt Growth

Chatgpt users simply cannot get enough generations of Ghibli studio-style images- so much so that the popular trend helps fuel a recording peak in users, and Openai is struggling to follow.

Openai deployed its latest Chatgpt-4o version last week. Users have taken advantage of the new tool generation capacities of the tool to create images in the style of the Japanese animation company Studio Ghibli which seem to have been drawn by the founder and director Hayao Miyazaki himself.

Social media have been flooded with Ai-Animated Images, leading the CEO of Openai, Sam Altman, to join us, updating his X profile photo with a Ghibli-Style Image and by sharing publications of other users containing the images.

On March 26, just a day after the launch of the Chatgpt-4o, Altman wrote on X that the generations of images had already been “Wayyy more popular than expected (and we had fairly high expectations)”. Consequently, he said, the free level of the functionality would be delayed, but in a few days, he announced that he had been deployed to all free users.

“Can you relax to generate images, it’s crazy that our team needs to sleep,” Altman wrote on X Sunday.

The popularity of the Ghibli trend combined with the advanced capabilities of the latest version of Chapgpt and the deployment of this version for free users this week has created a perfect conditions to give Openai a big boost.

Altman wrote on X on Monday that Chatgpt had just added a million users in the last hour, compared to two years ago, when the newly launched platform added that many users in five days.

During the week of March 24, weekly Chatgpt downloads, weekly active users and income for subscriptions and integrated purchases reached a record level – increasing 11%, 5%and 6%, respectively, week -on -week – according to data from the Sensortower market intelligence.

And compared to the same week of last year, application downloads and purchase income in the application increased by more than 500%, according to Sensortower.

During a record month, chatgpt visits also reached more than 4 billion in the first 28 days of March for the first time, according to the similar market research company.

But all that Hooplah around the last update has caused Openai problems, according to Altman’s X messages in recent days.

“It’s super fun to see that people like images in Chatgpt,” said Altman on X Thursday. “But our GPUs melt. We will temporarily introduce certain rate limits while we work to make it more effective.” He followed by adding that the application “refusing certain generations which should be authorized” but that “we reward them as quickly as possible.”

Altman said on X that Optai had problems with his GPU capacity.

“We take control of things, but you should expect the new OpenAi versions to be delayed, things to break and so that the service is sometimes slow because we are facing capacity challenges,” Altman wrote on Tuesday, adding a call, “if someone has a GPU capacity in 100,000 pieces that we can get as soon as possible, please call!”

OPENAI did not immediately respond to a request for comments from Business Insider. GKIDS, the North American distributor of the Studio Ghibli film library, also immediately responded to a request for comments.
