Many people are using ChatGPT to turn their photos into Studio Ghibli-style art, making it a viral trend on social media. However, experts are raising concerns about digital privacy when using OpenAI’s Ghibli AI art tool.
When users upload their personal photos to create these artworks, they might unknowingly share sensitive data with OpenAI. Some critics believe this trend could be a way for AI companies to collect large amounts of facial data for training their models.
Privacy activists warn that once a photo is uploaded, the user may lose control over how it is used. OpenAI’s privacy policy states that user inputs can be used for AI training unless they specifically opt out. This means your photos might be stored and analyzed in ways that are not entirely clear.
