AI-Generated Art Raises Copyright Concerns

Published on 4.5.25

  The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in creative applications has reached new heights with the recent launch of OpenAI's Ghibli-style filter on its ChatGPT platform. This feature, powered by the company's advanced GPT-4 model, allows users to create and share images reminiscent of Studio Ghibli classics like 'My Neighbor Totoro' and 'Princess Mononoke'. The tool's success has been unprecedented, with OpenAI reporting an all-time high in app downloads, weekly active users, and in-app subscription revenue. However, the rapid growth of ChatGPT has also raised concerns about copyright infringement. A US federal court panel is considering consolidating 12 lawsuits brought by authors, publishers, and news organizations against OpenAI Inc., citing overlapping factual questions and witnesses. This development highlights the complex issues surrounding AI-generated content and intellectual property rights. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, acknowledged the unexpected success of the Ghibli-style filter and announced that it would remain limited to paid users for now due to 'GPU melting' issues related to the use of Studio Ghibli's style in AI-generated images. The ban on such content is aimed at protecting the intellectual property rights of the Japanese animation studio. The company continues to push the boundaries of AI innovation, with its CEO revealing that the platform gained one million new users in just one hour, surpassing the five-day milestone of 1 million users set by ChatGPT's launch over two years ago.
