> Any fan of animation knows the name Studio Ghibli. The Japanese animation studio has made a name for itself by crafting some of the greatest animated films of all time. The studio was founded in 1985 by established animators Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata and producer Toshio Suzuki. Over the next three decades and 23 movies, Studio Ghibli produced some of the best coming-of-age, fantasy and family films of all time. Studio Ghibli is a creative and box office powerhouse. Five of the studio’s films are among the highest-grossing anime feature films and five have received Academy Award nominations in the states. > **[Every Studio Ghibli Movie, Ranked And In Order](https://www.forbes.com/sites/entertainment/article/studio-ghibli-movies/)** > > Embark on a journey through the acclaimed Studio Ghibli films, meticulously ranked.

Well, I’m not into anime or manga, so I guess that explains it. Been playing around with it on Chat GPT for the last half hour, and it’s pretty impressive (still fucks up hands sometimes.) How long until a similar technology comes into Photoshop and lets you fix shitty lighting and stuff like that. What’s funny is that I fed a photo of myself recently winning first place at a chili cookoff, and it changed my awards certificate first to “dad coach of the year” and second time to “first place chess club tournament.” Lol. But I’m impressed at it filling in sensible English words. ---

Speaking of Sora being aggressive about not violating copyright does anyone know who has the copyright on what Sora produces? You? The people who own Sora? Same with ChatGPT writing an article for you. Who owns it? (I tried a search…seems like something that would have been discussed here already…I think it has…but I could not find it.) ---

Whatever the secret sauce for getting the good renders is, I don’t seem to have it. I tried using the ChatGPT app instead of the web interface. Uploaded this Joro photo of mine. [![](https://i.imgur.com/RyQGrxy.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/RyQGrxy.jpeg) Asked for Ghibli style, it refused. Asked for Lego, it made something, but nothing like a transformation of my photo. [![](https://i.imgur.com/0t438wq.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/0t438wq.jpeg) Asked for The Simpsons, got this. [![](https://i.imgur.com/OdsAZsO.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/OdsAZsO.jpeg) Uploaded a kitten photo [![](https://i.imgur.com/WP7MJHZ.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/WP7MJHZ.jpeg) Got this for Simpsons style [![](https://i.imgur.com/4tJnzGe.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/4tJnzGe.jpeg) And then after generating only three photos won’t generate another one for 24 hours. But from three “successful” images, none of them were the magic transformations. Must be giving me older versions of ChatGPT or the image generator. ---

Interestingly 4o still fails at showing a watch dial with a particular time, a well-known glitch in AI image-generation, which have been trained on photos with a time of 10:10. ---

My initial prompt was simply “turn this photo into studio ghibli style” and subsequent prompts were “now try this one!” “Do this one!” Etc. I’m using GPT 4o and I do have the $20/mo subscription. It follows the source material pretty closely in terms of composition and coloration. And I haven’t run into being locked out of image generation yet, but I’ve only done about 7 of them so far, as the initial novelty and amazement is kinda of wearing out already for me. I’m quickly jaded it seems. But I will use it again, I’m sure. ETA: Building on the South Park style, I tried Simpsons and that worked well, too. ---
