Fans of Studio Ghibli, the famed Japanese animation studio behind "Spirited Away" and other beloved movies, were delighted this week when a new version of ChatGPT let them transform popular internet memes or personal photos into the distinct style of Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki.

Studio Ghibli's films are purposefully, almost radically, slow in both style and production. They pause in places where most films push forward to give you a chance to take in the beauty of animated wind in the grass or the details of an empty street. The art isn’t just stunning; each frame is imbued with care and craft.

The internet has become a Studio Ghibli-inspired playground. Admirers of the Japanese animation studio are using a new update from ChatGPT to create portraits and memes inspired by the distinct artistic style popularized by filmmaker and studio co-creator Hayao Miyazaki.
