AI-generated Ghibli-style art has become the latest viral trend across social media, with political figures like Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and global leaders such as U.S. President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron featured in the whimsical style.
The trend gained significant attention when MyGovIndia, the Indian government’s official digital platform, shared AI-generated Ghibli-style images of Modi. The artwork depicted important moments from his tenure, including meetings with Trump and Macron. The post, which read “Main character? No. He’s the whole storyline. Experience New India in Studio Ghibli strokes,” quickly went viral, gaining thousands of shares and comments.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, took note of the creative trend and reshared the artwork on his social media, even adding an Indian flag emoji to show his appreciation for the blend of technology and creativity.
This creative twist using AI tools like ChatGPT is transforming the way people see digital art and its role in politics. It shows that AI isn’t just a tool for personal expression, but a medium that even political and government entities can use to engage with the public in new and innovative ways.
