How to Create Ghibli-Style Images with Grok and ChatGPT

Start by visiting the ChatGPT website or app, and share your idea for the image you want to create, offering as many details as possible.

Request ChatGPT to generate a text prompt that can be used to create your desired image in Grok.

Open the Grok app and input the text prompt provided by ChatGPT.

In just a few seconds, your image should be ready. If any adjustments are needed, simply ask Grok to refine it, with guidance from ChatGPT.

It's important to note that Grok operates on xAI's latest foundational model, Grok 3, which was launched last month. Initially, Grok was exclusive to X (formerly Twitter) subscribers, but due to increasing competition from Chinese AI companies like DeepSeek and Qwen, the Elon Musk-led company eventually made it available to free users as well.

At the time of its release, Grok 3's ability to generate photorealistic and detailed images garnered significant attention. However, recent advancements from Google and ChatGPT, which now offer native image generation capabilities, have surpassed xAI's chatbot by producing even more refined and detailed images.

Native image generation refers to the AI's capability to produce images directly from text prompts without relying on external models. This allows the AI to utilize its extensive text knowledge base and personal insights into user preferences to create more detailed and accurate images.
