It's just a day Chatgpt's new AI generator has lived.
In the last 24 hours, we have seen images generated by AI-formed representing Studio Ghibli's versions of Elon Musk“The lord of the rings“, And President Donald Trump. Openai CEO Sam Altman seems to have Made her new picture in the profile of an image style of Ghibli's styleMaybe made in the native generator of the GPT-4O image. Users seem to have uploaded existing chatgpt images and images and asked the chatbot to recreate it in new styles.
Openai's latest update came to Google's heels of a similar AI feature image on the Gemini Flash model, which also caused a viral moment earlier in March when People used it to remove watermarks from images.
The latest Openai tools and Google make it easier than recreates the styles of copyrighted works – simply by typing a text prompt. Together, the new AI -featured images seem to reign concerns over the main demands against the AI model developers. If these companies train copyright works, do they violate copyright law?
According to IP's lawyer Evan Brown, products such as the GPT-4O native image generator operate in a legal gray area today. The style is not clearly protected by copyright, according to Brown, which means that Openai does not appear to be breaking the law simply by developing images that look like Studio Ghibli's films.
However, Brown said it was possible that Openai had achieved this resemblance by practicing its model in millions of frames from Ghibli films. Although that is the case, many courts still decide if AI training models in copyright works are falling under fair use protections.
“I think it has raised the same question that we have asked ourselves for a few years now,” Brown said in an interview. “What are the implications of violating the copyright of the discharge, web crawling, and copying these databases?”
New York Times and some publishers are in Active suits against Openai. There have been similar claims that have been brought to the suits against other AI's leading companies, including the start of the meta and AI generation of image, midjourney.
In a statement in Techcrunch, an OpenAi spokesman said that while Chatgpt refused to replicate the “style of individual living artists,” Openai allowed it to copy “wider studio style.” Of course, it should be noted that there are living artists who are credited with the pioneer of their studio's unique styles, such as Studio Ghibli's Cofounder, Hayao Miyazaki.
Clearly, users also used the Native Generation of the GPT-4O image to recreate styles from other studios and artists. Someone else made a picture of Marc Andreessen in the style of Seussand a marriage is the manrever in their Wedding pictures in Pixar style.
We tried some popular AI image generators – including those available on Google's Gemini, Xai's Grok, and Playground.ai – to see their ability to match Studio Ghibli's style. We found the new Openai image generator that created the most accurate replica of the animation studio style.

Today, new images of Openai and Google are featuring a jump forward to what AI models can generate, which seems to be driving a flowing use. Openai delayed the control of its new image tool to free-tier users on Wednesday, High demand is mentioned. That may be the most important thing for these companies today, but we will have to wait for the courts to weigh their legalness.
