OpenAI's new artificial intelligence model, ChatGPT-4o, became a trend after the launch of its image generator. This feature allowed simple text descriptions to be transformed into striking illustrations, many of them inspired by visual styles like Studio Ghibli, Japanese anime, or even realistic artistic portraits.
In a matter of days, social networks like X, Reddit, and Instagram were flooded with AI-caused designs. From characters from The Lord of the Rings, Steve Jobs in anime version, to the recreation of public figures like Elon Musk, the impact was immediate. Even OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, reportedly updated his profile picture with an image created by his own technology.
Visual creativity found a new ally in artificial intelligence
The GPT-4o model not only marked a milestone in text generation but also in the field of visual design. Users with access to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, or Free began creating visual content without prior illustration knowledge, simply by drafting detailed prompts.
For example, instead of asking for “a dog on the beach,” users learned to write descriptions like: “a golden retriever running on the sand with the sun reflecting on the water, watercolor style.” Additionally, they could request styles like cyberpunk, photographic realism, pixel art, or retro art. This level of customization helped obtain much more defined and visually appealing images.
A caricature of the former president and twice-convicted Cristina Kirchner also went viral. Meanwhile, this medium used the tool in question to generate a caricature of the current president Javier Milei.
