Studio Ghibli‘s iconic art style is creating waves beyond cinema screens as ChatGPT users are creating AI pictures themed after it. They have also been sharing these Studio Ghibli AI pictures on social media. This new trend comes in the wake of OpenAI’s recent GPT-4 update. Unfortunately, the feature to create Studio Ghibli AI art is locked for free users, with only ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who pay $20/month, being able to access the much-coveted feature via the DALL.E model.
As such, fans have been wondering how they can create Studio Ghibli AI art or pictures without ChatGPT Plus. Here is what you need to know.
Here’s how you could create Studio Ghibli AI portraits without ChatGPT Plus
If you do not have access to ChatGPT Plus, you can use the following apps or tools to create Studio Ghibli AI portraits or images:
- Midjourney
- Getimg.ai
- insMind
- Gemini
- Grok
- Craiyon
- DeepAI
- Playground AI
- Artbreeder – images can be blended, and styles can be tweaked. However, certain features are locked behind an upgrade, which is behind a paywall.
There are two ways in which you can create Studio Ghibli AI images. The first method is Text-to-Image. Here, users can simply describe a scene or a character in the prompt section. The AI app will then produce a Studio Ghibli-style image for you.
The second way is Image-to-Image. Here, users simply need to upload an existing picture and use the prompts to have the AI remake that image in the Studio Ghibli art style.
However, please note that the capabilities or results of the aforementioned AI apps may not match those of ChatGPT Plus. Thus, some persistence, experimentation, and hard work are required if one wishes to get an accurate, if not approximate, recreation of the Studio Ghibli art style.
Moreover, if you want the premium aesthetics offered by ChatGPT Plus but do not necessarily want to subscribe to it, you can use platforms like Runway ML, Leonardo AI, and Mage.space. These platforms offer a free trial and can produce images that match the quality offered if one were to use ChatGPT Plus.
