ChatGPT Hits 1 Million Users in an Hour as Ghibli-Style Art Goes Viral
AI-generated Ghibli-style portraits have taken social media by storm, captivating users who are transforming everything from selfies to Bollywood scenes into enchanting art pieces.
ChatGPT, the brainchild of OpenAI, has broken records once again. Sam Altman, the CEO of the platform, revealed that within just one hour, ChatGPT amassed an astonishing one million users, all thanks to the mesmerizing Ghibli-style AI-generated portraits. This milestone was shared on X platform and was termed as one of the most remarkable spikes in AI adoption rates in history.
The Surge of ChatGPT
Altman expressed his amazement at the rapid increase in users, stating, "The ChatGPT launch 26 months ago was one of the craziest viral moments I'd ever seen, and we added one million users in just five days. Now, we have added another one million users in just the last hour."
Moreover, a current trend on the internet involves the creation of AI-generated Ghibli art, where users are converting their own images, pet photos, and even scenes from Bollywood movies into Ghibli-style artworks. This trend has garnered significant attention across platforms like X, Instagram, and Reddit.
However, this surge in demand has put a strain on OpenAI's infrastructure. Altman noted in a subsequent post, "Our GPUs are melting," indicating the overwhelming demand for the AI-generated art.
Unprecedented Growth and Versatility of AI
This rapid uptake mirrors the trajectory of ChatGPT's initial launch, where it reached one million users in just five days.
