The post Ripple CTO’s Ghibli Image Has Crypto Fans Wondering ‘XRP Price Pump When?’ appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The latest trend on social media is turning everyday photos into stunning Studio Ghibli-style art using ChatGPT. It all started when Sam Altman changed his profile picture, sparking the Ghibli trend across social media. These unique images, often featuring real people, have been flooding the internet.
What’s the Hype About?
OpenAI’s new update with ChatGPT includes an AI tool that can transform regular images into a whimsical Studio Ghibli animation style. Whether it’s for fun, self-expression, or a meme, the Studio Ghibli style has captured the hearts of many, offering a glimpse into the potential future of AI in creative fields.
Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, joined the Ghibli-style portrait trend, creating images featuring himself, Stuart Alderoty, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Garlinghouse’s Ghibli picture with Alderoty sparked a humorous reaction from many online.
David asked internet users to caption the photo, and fans had a blast coming up with funny responses. The duo’s pose, with their hands raised as if asking “when,” led to jokes like “XRP pump when?” and others humorously asking, “Where’s Gary Now?”
How It Works
Step 1: Go to ChatGPT’s image feature.
Step 2: Upload your photo.
Step 3: Type: “Make this in Studio Ghibli style.”
In just a few moments, the AI will transform your image, adding a magical, animated touch that’s unmistakably Ghibli.
The Controversy
While many people love it, not everyone is a fan. Some artists feel frustrated because AI can recreate their style quickly, without the time and effort that traditional artists put in. It’s led to a bit of backlash, with some calling it “AI slop.” But despite the criticism, the trend keeps growing.
