OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman have halted free access to its latest launch GPT-4o which allows users to generate Studio's Ghibli-style images. The moment ChatGpt's Ghibli was unveiled, the internet went gaga. However, heavy usage of GPT-4o also overwhelmed OpenAI's GUT, and hence they announced to allow Ghibli-style images only for paid users. But there are ways to still create ChatGPT's Ghibli images for free. Here's a step-by-step guide:
OpenAI updated its GPT-4o on March 27. It said the new update is only accessible for paid users, while free users will get access over the next few weeks. The latest update in GPT-4o is that it offers more detailed instructions, especially for prompts containing multiple requests, while it has better capability to tackle complex technical and coding problems. Furthermore, intuition and creativity have improved, but emojis are fewer.

However, notably, users can still access all DALL-E images. Further, Sam Altman announced that ChatGPT is going to temporarily introduce some rate limits while they work on making it more efficient.
But Altman also said that for now, the ChatGPT free tier will get up to 3 generations per day soon, unlike paid users who get unlimited Ghibli image access.
How To Generate Ghibli Images At ChatGPT app or web:
The first step is to open ChatGPT application or browse on chat.openai.com. However, one must be hooked to the latest GPT-4o which is available for all including for free users.
To generate images, you'll need to log in to ChatGPT. Once logged in, you'll be able to create and explore images!, the website said.
What To Do Next? You will have to upload a photo of yourself or describe how you look (hair colour, eye colour, outfit, etc.) along with any specific details you'd like in your Ghibli-style transformation. You can also ChatGPT know about the scene, mood, or Ghibli film aesthetic in mind-like serene countryside, a mystical forest, or a bustling town.
After taking into the description, ChatGPT will transform a Ghibli image. You can ask for adjustments in colour, lighting or any other changes. Once satisfied, you can save the image in your mobile phone or computer or laptop.
However, other apps also offer Ghibli-style images. These are:
Google Gemini:
Backed by a largest search engine, Gemini was built from the ground up to be multimodal, which means it can generalize and seamlessly understand, operate across and combine different types of information including text, code, audio, image and video. Users can create captivating images in seconds with Gemini Apps.
Users can start image generation prompts at Gemini for free. You can prompt with words like draw, generate, and create. Describe the image style you want, for example, photorealistic, charcoal drawing, watercolour painting, or cartoon illustration. Gemini also allows users to include a detailed visual description of what they want in the image. This can include the subject of the image, what the subject is doing, and the background or setting.
However, the feature's availability in any specific Gemini app is also limited to the supported languages and countries of that app.
2. Grok AI:
This one is backed by the world's richest man, Elon Musk. Grok is accessible on grok.com, iOS and Android. If you open the website, there will be the option of creating images. You can ask Grok to draw anything for instance a mountain view, or river, and even popular figures. You can also modify the image with its style, background and more. Notably, Grok is also available for 18 and above age.
3. Leonardo.AI:
This is yet another AI-image-generating application. So far, over 1 billion images and artworks have been generated on this app. As per its website, users can choose from a selection of high-quality AI models and experiment with a selection of settings and presets. Seamlessly incorporate style elements or upload your own work for precise control over your creative output.
