As soon as OpenAI launched the image-generating feature, including Studio Ghibli-Style, the AI platform was swamped with global users, prompting the chatbot to convert their images into soft, aesthetic, and stunning Studio Ghibli-Style. The trend went viral on X, Instagram, Meta, and other social media platforms, with users sharing their original and AI-generated images. Due to this feature, the average weekly users of ChatGPT also crossed the 130 million mark for the first time in 2025, creating more than 700 million photos.
The trend went viral like an Amazon wildfire, but it was not just because of the reasons the Japanese animated movie studio is famous for. The AI-generated images were undoubtedly picturesque, but the chatbot failed to do justice to basic human reasoning, and for that, many images went viral. The chatbot created extra hands and feet, misplaced people, and replaced humans with animals. Top Studio Ghibli-style failed images are.
The Three-Hand Woman
In an Instagram post, Snigdha Sharma, a dentist, shared a reel displaying her original photo alongside a Ghibli-inspired version. In the original image, she was sitting in a restaurant, holding an ice cream, while the ChatGPT version drew her with three hands. She posted the video with the caption
“Chatgpt- Tumse na ho paeyga (Chatgpt you can’t do it).. Shocked and funny, had to post it,”
The Donkey Image
In another viral post on X, a woman was sitting on her husband’s back, and thanks to ChatGPT’s creative touch, he was turned into a donkey.
The Puppy Baby
In a Meta post, a bunch of Studio-Ghibli-style images that failed were posted. The standout was a masterpiece where a baby sitting in his parents’ lap was replaced with a fluffy puppy, a plot twist even Hayao Miyazaki couldn’t think of.
Elon Musk in The Lion King
In a viral X post, Elon Musk shared an AI-generated image inspired by Studio Ghibli style. In the animation, Musk pictured himself as The Lion King’s Rafiki carrying Simba, mimicking the DOGE mascot in the air. However, the animation looked more like a Ghibli fail than an inspiration.
Bearded Woman
Making another Ghibli blunder, ChatGPT duplicated a man’s beard and applied it to the woman in the same photo, turning them into twin brothers.
