Having some problem generating Ghibli-style images on ChatGPT? The latest model of Open AI, ChatGPT GPT-4o, is capable of generating Ghibli images from any image of your preference. But, with this increase in the traffic on the ChatGPT front, there is a sudden tick in failure rate as well. There are many reports where the users seem to have some problem generating Ghibli images. We have discussed possible resolutions to tackle this issue and generate Ghibli images in no time!
Fix 1 – Ghibli images for paid users
At the time of publishing this article, OpenAI’s GPT-4o model is available only to the ChatGPT Plus and Pro users. You can not generate Ghibli images with a free version of the ChatGPT. This restriction is imposed by OpenAI to cuttle severe server load at their end.
But, the latest models of LLMs automatically becomes available after some time. Historically, it may take a few days to a few weeks to roll out this model to the free tier.
Fix 2 – Refresh the browser
But, if you have the ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription and still failing the image generation process, you must refresh the browser. There is also the chance where the OpenAI’s servers are down at the time. In that case, you may wait and retry generating another version of the image.
Fix 3 – Limitations of Ghibli image generation
There are some limitation to the ghibli image generation due to copyright infringements. We have examples-
Step 1 – You can’t use certain words in the prompt line. Like, you can not mention ‘Studio Ghibli’ in the prompt directly as the term in copyright protected by their respective owner.
Step 2 – On the other hand, you can tweak the prompt a little bit and ask for a ghibli-style image generation, by not mentioning the “studio” word explicitly.
Try this out on your prompt and you shall get the desired results.
Fix 4 – Don’t use DALL-E
Just like 4o model, there are certain restrictions on DALL-E that prohibits it from generating copyrighted images. If you are using DALL-E, disable it.
Step 1 – Open up the ChatGPT on your browser.
Step 2 – Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner and tap “Customize ChatGPT”.
Step 3 – Tap the “Advanced” button there.
Step 4 – Disable the “DALL-E” there and click “Save“.
Now, retry generating the same image.
Fix 5 – Give it some time
There are hundred or thousand users who are generating images at any given time. It takes a lot of time to generate images. You can’t expect instantaneous result in this case.
- We recommend you allow some time to the image generation process. You will get ‘Getting started‘ term during the process.
- Do not close the webpage while it is processing the image.
- You should do this on a separate window so that you may leave it running in the background.
Depending upon server load, image size and various other factors, it may take 5–20 minutes to generate a ghibli style image.
NOTE – This option is not valid for the ChatGPT Pro users, as they get the fastest response from the GPT.
