If you are an avid X user (formerly Twitter), over the last few days you would have noticed the flooding of Studio Ghinibli style avatars created via ChatGPT's recently launched image generation tool.
The tool has up to now been only available to paying users.
According to Sam Altman, they have extended usage to free users of ChatGPT, allowing them to also generate images.
The faeture has proven to be a hit with users including celebrities and official pages to a point where Altman said it was "melting" ChatGPT servers and contributing to adding a million users per hour.
