🎨 The AI painting in Ghibli style has triggered a craze, and ChatGPT's user volume and revenue have hit record highs.

After the update of ChatGPT's image - generation tool, users flocked to create AI artworks in the style of Ghibli animations. The user volume of this chatbot of OpenAI surged last week, setting a historical record. This viral craze led to excessive server pressure and once restricted the use of this function. Data from market research firm Similarweb shows that the average weekly active users of ChatGPT have exceeded the 150 - million mark for the first time. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on Monday that 1 million new users were added in just the past hour, far exceeding the speed of attracting 1 million users in five days when it was first launched two years ago. According to SensorTower data, after the update of the GPT - 4o model and the activation of the advanced image - generation function, ChatGPT's global app downloads, weekly active users, and in - app purchase revenue all reached historical peaks last week, increasing by 11%, 5%, and 6% respectively compared with the previous week. Altman admitted that this function is very popular but also said "Our GPUs are about to melt." At the same time, this widespread use of imitating Ghibli's unique style has also sparked discussions about potential copyright infringement. Legal experts point out that the boundaries of copyright protection for artistic styles themselves are blurred. Previously, Hayao Miyazaki himself expressed "extreme disgust" towards AI - generated images in 2016.
