ChatGPT's New Image Model Changes Everything: 5 Incredible Use Cases

Peter Yang shows five ways to use ChatGPT's new image model: turning family photos into Studio Ghibli art, making marketing assets, designing infographics, editing YouTube thumbnails, and creating anime short movies.
Okay, so I think I'm in love with ChatGPT's new image model, and I wanted to make this short video to show you exactly what it can do. So let me show you some prompts and examples to do five things. Turn your family photos into studio Ghibli art, create professional marketing assets, mock up product designs and infographics, edit YouTube thumbnails, and even create anime short movies. I spent last week converting my favorite family photos into studio Ghibli art. And to do the same, all you got to do is to pay $20 for ChatGPT plus open the mobile app and pick GPT4.0 for model, and then upload a family photo and prompt make this Ghibli anime style. So let me show you some more examples. Okay, so you can see here I've just converted a bunch of photos on my kids into Ghibli style, and you know, it looks pretty brilliant. It's especially good with kids because, you know, Ghibli style is super cute with young children, right? So definitely give this a try yourself. You can also use the same prompt to recreate your favorite memes and movie scenes in Ghibli style. Now, Unfortunately, I think OpenAI is adding more moderation checks. So. So if this isn't working for you, try asking ChatGPT to first describe what a Ghibli image looks like and then using that description to create your image. So let me show you a quick example of this. Okay, so here I've created a pretty long prompt. Instead of mentioning Ghibli anywhere, here I'm trying to describe what a Ghibli style image looks like. I can see here that it's done a pretty good job of recreating the same style so you can do the exact same thing. Okay, so next, this new image model is also amazing at creating marketing assets if you give it the right image. Now, here's a quick example of changing an existing social ad to a new one for your product. And let me show you two more examples. So here I took the book cover from Sahil Bloom's new book, great book, by the way. And I asked it to create an image of Rick Rubin holding a book. You can see here, it did a pretty good job. Here I took an image of a drink ad and another image of Liquid Death, one of my favorite drinks, and I basically just asked it to combine the ad. And you can see here that it's replaced the model drink with Liquid Death, and it's even added a few interesting marketing copy around it, you know, it's like having a designer and photographer on demand. So this model is a massive game changer, I think, for marketers and any kind of creative professionals. Of course, the model is also great at creating websites and infographics. For example, it converted Lovable's landing page to anime, which I think looks a lot better. And it also converted my mediocre infographic design here to something much cuter. Now, some of the illustrations here aren't really relevant for, you know, product management work, so I just asked it to make the illustrations more relevant to the content. And you see here that it did a pretty good job. Now let me show you an end to end flow using this model to edit YouTube thumbnails. Here's how I got from the thumbnail on the left to the thumbnail on the right. Okay? So I started with this thumbnail that I designed myself, and then I asked it to make it look like, of course, Studio Ghibli style. And you can use any other style you want, right? And did a pretty good job. But I wanted to align the text a little bit better, so I just asked it to get rid of the text so I can add a text myself. And I realized that the hand and the finger should probably appear above the text. So I asked it to remove the hand and the finger and in fact, not only remove it, but export it as a different transparent image that I can copy into my image editor. You can see here, it did a pretty amazing job. Then I decided to give myself more of a shocked expression. So I took Greg Eisenberg's thumbnail and I asked it to make my Ghibli avatar more shocked like this. And here is the result. It's missing the hands, right? So I just asked it to add the hands, the sky, and the clouds. And you see here that it's done a pretty good job making the exact expression that I want. And then all I had to do was, you know, just add the text myself. All right, last but not least, you can also use this model, along with a video model like Luma, to create full anime short movies. And I was blown away by this movie that someone made for severance. So let's go watch it together.
