How to generate Ghibli style images with Grok
Ghibli style images are taking the internet by storm, people around the world are loving the way generative AI can turn their pictures into this anime style, and the same can be done with xAI’s Grok.
Generative image models are well known for their description-based image generation. With a few words, you can create an image that’s not available on the internet but directly inspired from your thought. You can then blend different styles and aesthetics within the same prompt to improve the design.
Generative image models have been available for some time in the industry but picked up pace with OpenAI’s 40 image generation model. The generative image feature is now natively integrated into ChatGPT with contextual accuracy.
This accuracy has led to a rich image output with specific instructions. You can also upload your own pictures, diagrams and sketches to transform them into a full-blown image.
Initial users have tried to this model to create anime like pictures, but the internet has picked up a huge interest in Ghibli style. This trend has disrupted OpenAI’s GPU, Sam Altman wrote, “It’s super fun seeing people love images in chatgpt. but our GPUs are melting”.
