ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI, has once again set a new record. The CEO of the platform, Sam Altman, shared that the platform has acquired one million users within an hour due to the Ghibli-style AI-generated portraits.
Altman shared the milestone on X, calling it one of the most rapid adoption spikes in AI history. “We added one million users in the last hour,” he posted. This surge follows the launch of ChatGPT’s new image generation feature, which allows users to create stylized artwork, including anime-inspired visuals, without external tools like DALL·E.
Recently, the internet has seen a trend of AI-generated Ghibli art where users turn selfies, pets, and even Bollywood scenes into Ghibli art. It has created significant interest in X, Instagram, and Reddit.
However, OpenAI’s infrastructure is under pressure. In a subsequent post, Altman stated, “Our GPUs are melting,” as the demand surges.
It is a similar growth trajectory to when ChatGPT was launched and reached one million users in five days. But this time, the concept of AI is more versatile and is advancing at an unprecedented rate.
OpenAI has made AI art a phenomenon with its ability to generate images without a hitch.
