Create Stunning Ghibli-Style Artwork with Chatbot: A Comparison of ChatGPT and Grok
Explore the capabilities of ChatGPT and Grok in generating Studio Ghibli-inspired images. Learn how these chatbots function and the differences between them.
Introduction
It has been almost a week since ChatGPT's native image generation capabilities were introduced, but the trend for Studio Ghibli-style images is still going strong. While several new sites have emerged that can transform real-life images into Ghibli-inspired artwork, ChatGPT and Grok remain the top alternatives for trying Japanese animation.
Free Image Generation
OpenAI initially restricted ChatGPT's image generation feature to its Pro and Plus members only. However, the company later extended the feature to its free users with a limit of three image generations per day. On the other hand, XAI's Grok was behind a paywall until December last year, but it became free to use after the launch of its Grok 3 foundation model earlier this year.
Creating Ghibli-Style Images
To generate Ghibli-style images using ChatGPT or Grok, follow these steps:
- Open the Grok or ChatGPT via their website or app.
- Start a new conversation and upload an image.
- Ask the chatbot to turn your image into Studio Ghibli-inspired art.
- Download the image once it is generated.

Grok AI Model
