Caption - Hayao Miyazaki. (Image credit - Studio Ghibli) The "Ghibli style" comes from Studio Ghibli, the legendary Japanese animation studio co-founded by Hayao Miyazaki. Known for its hand-drawn, whimsical, and dreamy aesthetic, Studio Ghibli has created some of the world’s most beloved anime films over the past 40 years. Ghibli-style images have a distinctive mix of soft colours, natural elements, and detailed backgrounds, making them both artistic and nostalgic. Now, with ChatGPT, users can recreate their own images in this iconic anime style with just a few clicks. Controversy Around AI-Generated Ghibli Art While many users are loving the Ghibli-style AI edits, some artists and fans aren’t happy. Critics argue that ChatGPT is copying a style that took decades to develop without giving credit to the artists behind it. There’s also a potential copyright issue. ChatGPT refuses to generate Disney or Marvel characters due to copyright restrictions, but it still allows users to mimic Ghibli’s style. This raises concerns about whether AI-generated images should be allowed to imitate well-known artistic styles. Since this utter garbage is trending, we should take a look at what Hayao Miyazaki, the founder of Studio Ghibli, said about machine created art. https://t.co/1TMPcFGIJE pic.twitter.com/IvaM9WZL3T — Nuberodesign (@nuberodesign) March 26, 2025 Imagine being Miyazaki, pouring decades of heart and soul into making this transcendent beautiful tender style of anime, and then seeing it get sloppified by linear algebra — Nabeel S. Qureshi (@nabeelqu) March 26, 2025 Some artists see this as a disrespect to Miyazaki’s legacy, while others believe it’s just a fun tool for users to experiment with different art styles. The debate is ongoing. How to Create Ghibli-Style Anime Images in ChatGPT? If you want to try this feature, you’ll need a ChatGPT Plus subscription ($20/month or approx. ₹1,715).
