THE BIG IDEA

Everything is Ghibli 

OpenAI’s new GPT-4o image feature dropped last week, and the internet did what it does best—immediately turned it into a Studio Ghibli generator.

Just ask anyone on TikTok or Reddit. People are typing prompts like “make me a Ghibli character” into ChatGPT and getting back dreamy, painterly portraits that look straight out of Spirited Away. It’s fast, it’s free (even for non-Plus users), and the results are eerily charming. Like, “why do I look better as a fictional character?” levels of charming.

But not everyone’s thrilled. Studio Ghibli hasn’t commented yet, but co-founder Hayao Miyazaki has famously called AI art “an insult to life itself.” That quote’s making the rounds again as the portraits go viral, along with renewed debates over copyright, artistic style, and whether AI-generated art is just flattery—or flat-out theft.

For now, the trend isn’t slowing down. Whether it ends in takedowns or just becomes another weird chapter in AI’s cultural takeover, one thing’s clear: the internet really wants to live in a Ghibli movie.

TRENDING DISCUSSIONS

AI isn't perfect—yet.

Even a great AI dev hits its limits—and that’s what this thread’s about.

Hyuntak Lee asked where Cursor couldn’t quite deliver, and the responses were honest but thoughtful. One dev had it suggest restarting a project entirely, only to later fix the bug with a few tweaks. Another said Cursor feels like a super capable intern—great most of the time, but occasionally too eager.

A few mentioned edge cases, context loss, or chain-reaction edits that solved one thing and broke three others. But no one was rage quitting. It was more like: this tool is powerful, but sometimes you still need to double check its work.

Building with Cursor? This thread’s full of tips for where to keep a closer eye.
