OpenAI's new image generator for ChatGPT triggers Ghibli fest: 10 Mindblowing Examples
It’s been less than a day since OpenAI upgraded GPT-4o with advanced image generation capabilities, and the Internet is already in a frenzy. Many users have flooded social media with their creations using GPT-4o. OpenAI’s latest offering is seen as a technological leap forward, with some outputs being remarkably impressive.
The new feature, dubbed “Images in ChatGPT,” differs from DALL-E because the images are generated within GPT-4o. Additionally, the model has been described as “omnimodal,” meaning it can generate various types of data, including images, text, audio, and video. This marks a shift in AI development, where models gain the ability to integrate multiple forms of data seamlessly.
Transforming Images into Ghibli Style
If you’re a fan of Ghibli films, OpenAI’s latest GPT-4o model can generate some of the most Ghibli-esque images. Users simply need to upload an image and ask the model to transform it into the Ghibli anime style. Since this feature became widely known, numerous users have taken to the platform to showcase their creativity.

Creative Possibilities with OpenAI's Image Generation
The image generation feature shows extraordinary versatility across creative domains. It offers users refined artistic capabilities allowing them to transform their photos into an assortment of styles, including South Park, Minecraft, Lego, voxel, watercolour, marionette, and rubber hose animation. Additionally, it excels in creative design, especially in generating infographics, product mockups, logos, posters, and other visual ad campaigns.
Text rendering, a challenge for AI models, is particularly precise with this new feature. It offers detailed and accurate text elements within the outputs. It produces photorealistic images with exceptional detail, realistic lighting, depth of field, complex textures, and extends to creating hyper-realistic images of animals, people, and various real-world scenarios.
The control it has over subtle details such as facial expressions, accessories, and skin texture is impressive. Users can add or remove background elements, edit existing images, and transform photographs. The image generator can also accomplish complex, multi-part image generation prompts, producing surreal scenes. The generator's contextual understanding and creative flexibility allow it to create various photographic styles from Polaroid to high-res DSLR.
Advanced Capabilities for Plus, Pro, Team, and Free Users
The enhanced image-generation capability on ChatGPT, powered by GPT-4o, is available for Plus, Pro, Team, and Free users, as well as via API. Unlike DALL-E, the images created using the upgraded version do not have a visual watermark.
