"Miyazaki Hayao Style" Meme is popular all over the Internet, and Ghibli tokens have increased by more than 100 times in half a day

Last night to this morning, a large number of meme pictures that are very similar to the style of Miyazaki's film and television works have suddenly emerged on social media platforms such as X. For example, the "super universal" meme picture below is still very popular on the Internet. Under the rendering of Miyazaki's "Ghibli style", it has a new charm and vitality.

Of course, some classic old episodes and famous scenes also appeared in this "remake feast", becoming hell jokes such as Vance's wish to thank you, planes hitting a building...

At the same time, the meme coin named $Ghibli has also turned on the chain to open the fast-transfer mode, which has been rising since its issuance at 6 pm yesterday. The market value has soared due to speculation from all parties this morning. As of the time of writing, it has exceeded US$24 million, with an increase of more than 10,824% in 24 hours.

what happened? What is Ghibli?

Of course, it's all thanks to the freshly released new GPT-4o features.

On Tuesday, Openai launched the GPT -4o built-in image generator, which is officially called "the most advanced image generator to date" with the ability to "local multi-models with accurate, accurate and realistic output." And people have found that this image generator is particularly good at copying the anime style of Miyazaki Hayao Studio Ghibli.

In a tweet on Wednesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took the lead in launching the "Ghibli virus spread" and also changed his avatar to Ghibli-style image.

Subsequently, many Twitter celebrities began to follow their own imitations and uploaded pictures of themselves rendered by Ghibli. Even OpenAI's rival and founder of Grok AI, Musk, wrote in his "Photo Tweet": This is today's theme.

While ChatGpt previously allowed users to create images from text prompts, they did this by routing them to another separate OpenAI model, DALL-E 3.

The reason why the GPT-4o model is named "O" is precisely because it is an "Omni" model. This means that OpenAI trains it on image code and even audio video in addition to text code, so that it can understand all these forms of media and their similarity, and generates a given media based on user prompts without connecting any external models.

Recently, AI giants are in fierce competition for image creation models, and Google has also recently updated the experimental image creation model for Gemini 2.0 Flash. Obviously, it is becoming a very simple thing to make AI your own personal artist and make a picture that fully understands your meaning.

Miyazaki, co-founder of Studio Ghibli, has previously expressed strong opposition to AI-generated animations. At a conference in 2016, Miyazaki said about the AI ​​animation showcase: "I'm totally disgusted. If you really want to make something creepy, you can keep moving forward. I never want to incorporate this technology into my work", adding that it's "an insult to life itself."

How to generate your own Ghibli?

First navigate to chat.com or chatgpt.com and make sure you are using a GPT Plus, Pro, or Team account and the AI ​​model selector appears as "GPT-4o".

Upload the image using the "+" button in the lower left corner of the timely input text box, and then you can say "repaint this image in Ghibli animation style" to the new GPT-4o with the image creation model. You can also upload multiple images and combine them into one image in Ghibli style. In short, even if you try it more, 4o will bring you a lot of surprises.

Of course, the related meme token $Ghibli just narratively combines Studio Ghibli's artistic aesthetics with the trend of AI-generated content, and attention is why it quickly became popular on Twitter. However, the team information behind the token is not clear at present, and investors should be cautious about the corresponding risks.
