'Fire You Team', Here Is How Netizens Reacted When ChatGPT ...
The internet has been abuzz with AI-generated Studio Ghibli-style images, a phenomenon that has caught the attention of many. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently found himself calling for a pause due to the overwhelming demand for this new feature. Studio Ghibli's distinctive hand-drawn aesthetic has long been a favorite among audiences, invoking feelings of nostalgia and transporting viewers to dreamlike realms. Now, with OpenAI's latest image generation tool, users can easily create Ghibli-inspired portraits, memes, and reimagined movie posters at the click of a button.
However, the immense popularity of this tool has resulted in a surge in usage that surpassed all expectations, pushing OpenAI's resources to their limits. As social media platforms were flooded with AI-generated artwork, Sam Altman took to X (formerly Twitter) to urge users to slow down. In a tweet, he expressed, "The demand is insane. The team needs sleep."
When a user jokingly suggested firing the developers responsible for the feature, Altman came to their defense, praising them as the "best team in the world" and highlighting their accomplishments in developing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and creating one of the largest AI-powered platforms from scratch.
Netizens' Reactions
Amidst the chaos, various netizens shared their thoughts and reactions to the situation. One user suggested firing the team and starting fresh, while another highlighted the importance of team members getting enough rest during high workloads.
On the other hand, some users raised concerns about OpenAI's business model and the company's valuation, emphasizing the need for profitability. Others requested better API access and suggested investing in more GPUs to meet the demand effectively.
To address the overwhelming demand for image generation, OpenAI has implemented limits on the feature, allowing paid subscribers to retain access while imposing a daily cap of three images for free-tier users. Altman jokingly remarked that progress on AGI would be faster if users refrained from using GPUs to generate images.
Challenges and Improvements
Despite the excitement surrounding the new image generator, its rollout faced challenges. OpenAI had to address a bug causing inconsistencies in image generation and delay free user access. The company introduced GPT-4o as its most advanced image generator, promising enhanced accuracy, improved text rendering, and more lifelike object relationships. Unlike its predecessor DALL·E, which generates images in one go, GPT-4o constructs them step by step for a higher level of realism.
Even amidst the disruptions, Sam Altman himself embraced the Ghibli-style frenzy by updating his profile picture to a Ghibli-inspired version of himself. The incident serves as a reminder of how AI-driven creativity continues to captivate audiences worldwide, even if it means pushing GPUs to their limits.
