ChatGPT's Magical Ghibli Images Pull a Million Users in Just One Hour!
The art form of images has seen a frenzied response from users who have fallen in love with the tool.
Free image generation associated with the recent Ghibli-style sensation has taken social media by storm. This decision was a masterstroke by OpenAI, drawing a million users in only 60 minutes!
Buzzing Feeds
OpenAI's move to extend ChatGPT's image-generation capabilities to free users has triggered an extraordinary viral phenomenon, with Studio Ghibli-inspired creations dominating social media feeds. Recent reports suggest the impact was not only dramatic but widely spread.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reported that the platform gained one million users in an hour. This figure matched the same growth that originally took five days when ChatGPT first launched.
"The ChatGPT launch 26 months ago was one of the craziest viral moments I'd ever seen, and we added one million users in five days. We added one million users in the last hour," Altman announced on X, confirming that "image generation has now been rolled out to free users."
Captivated Users
Following the explosive rollout of native image generation to paid subscribers, the Studio Ghibli artwork feature quickly captivated users, who eagerly transformed their ideas into images reminiscent of iconic anime films and unforgettable moments.
Social media reactions celebrating the viral moment are one thing. Another thing is the long-term business implications. Comments highlighted concerns about sustainable usage patterns, with one user noting: "If just for fun images, users come and go within days, need more serious day-to-day AI usages."
Users have also questioned how OpenAI would transform this consumer enthusiasm into business productivity applications.
