OpenAI Delays Free Ghibli-Style Portrait Feature Due to High Demand

OpenAI has delayed the rollout of a popular feature for free users due to high demand. The feature, which uses AI to generate anime-inspired portraits resembling Studio Ghibli-style images, has been trending on social media. Meanwhile, alternative AI tools offer similar results for free users.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed the delay in making the Ghibli-style portrait feature available to free users. The high demand for the feature, introduced with the GPT-4 update, has led to the temporary restriction. However, free users need not miss out on the trend entirely.

Alternative AI tools like Grok AI and InsMind offer free options to create similar anime-inspired portraits. Grok AI, developed by xAI and integrated into X (formerly Twitter), transforms uploaded photos into anime-like illustrations. InsMind, on the other hand, provides a free AI filter specifically designed to transform photos into Ghibli-style artwork, producing results closer to the Ghibli vibe. While these may not be exact replicas of OpenAI's GPT-4 creations, they offer a similar experience for free users.

While OpenAI's Ghibli-style portrait feature is currently only available for paid ChatGPT users, free users can still enjoy similar results using alternative AI tools like Grok AI and InsMind. The delay in OpenAI's feature rollout is a testament to its popularity, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down.
