Sam Altman emphasizes that OpenAI GPUs are facing extreme wear because people love using the Ghibli feature on X (formerly Twitter). The company holds efficiency improvements in progress so they can activate temporary speed restrictions for now. Users of the free version will only get to make three imagemations each day starting from now.
You need basic steps to transform your photos in the Studio Ghibli style.

Users generally enjoy the Ghibli-style transformation of photos especially for famous film posters but animation fans strongly oppose its use. Some observers consider these AI-created creations as stolen work since Studio Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki publicly opposed AI art.
In his prior media interview Miyazaki stated his dislike for computer-generated animation because it disrupts the nature of living things and he will continue refusing to use it. People disagree on AI development because its creative applications clash with moral problems related to artistic output.
