OpenAI's New AI Image Generator Sparks Viral Ghibli Creations Amid Copyright Concerns
OpenAI's latest AI image generator, part of ChatGPT, has gone viral as users create Studio Ghibli-style images, including well-known figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. This surge in creativity raises significant copyright concerns, especially as the tool allows users to replicate copyrighted styles with simple prompts. Legal experts warn that OpenAI's training on copyrighted materials could lead to potential lawsuits. Despite assurances that it avoids replicating individual artists' styles, the implications of such technology remain legally ambiguous. The demand for the new feature has already caused a delay in its rollout to free-tier users.
