Ghibli Style Art Trend: ChatGPT Usage Hits Record After Rollout Of Viral Feature

Ever since technological advancement took center stage, India has emerged as a significant contributor to the growing popularity of ChatGPT, the AI-powered chatbot developed by OpenAI.

In fact, with the recent release of ChatGPT's image-generation tool, the Ghibli Art trend resulted in a record surge in users for OpenAI's chatbot last week, straining its servers and temporarily limiting the feature's use.

As the trend took over the internet, OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap has shared some incredible statistics on the usage of ChatGPT's new image creation feature.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Lightcap wrote, “Very crazy first week for images in ChatGPT—over 130M users have generated 700M+ images since last Tuesday. India is now our fastest-growing ChatGPT market. The range of visual creativity has been extremely inspiring. We appreciate your patience as we try to serve everyone; the team continues to work around the clock.”

Ghibli Trend: What it is

The Ghibli trend, which involves using AI to create anime-style images inspired by the works of Studio Ghibli, has taken India by storm. Indian users have been using ChatGPT to create stunning images that showcase their creativity and imagination. The trend has been fueled by social media platforms, where users are sharing their creations and inspiring others to join in.

Therefore, India's contribution to ChatGPT's AI surge is a testament to the country's growing AI ecosystem. With a large and growing pool of AI talent, India is emerging as a significant player in the global AI landscape. The country's AI ecosystem is being driven by a combination of government initiatives, private sector investment, and a growing startup ecosystem.
