From Studio Ghibli to AI: The Trend Everyone’s Talking About

The latest internet craze is capturing the attention of millions: AI art created in the style of Ghibli movies. Since the excited social media users began posting animated ‘Ghibli-styled’ portraits, photos taken in real life have been converted to images resembling those from Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki’s films. Users, celebrities, and even world leaders are jumping on the trend. Bit by bit, everyone around the globe seems to want to lay their hands on it. What sparked this phenomenon’s origin, and why is it taking the internet by storm? The Man Behind the Trend Seattle’s software engineer Grant Slatton is regarded as the one who began the sensational trend. After the advanced image generation features of the Open AI were brought to light, Slatton posted a zoomed-in AI-generated photo of his family and their pet on an X (formerly Twitter) account.

The post resonated with many people as it started gaining the views of millions and motivated others to use the technique. tremendous alpha right now in sending your wife photos of yall converted to studio ghibli anime pic.twitter.com/FROszdFSfN — […]

Forget ChatGPT & DeepSeek – Manus AI Redefines Autonomous Task Execution!

In the era of AI, everything is advancing rapidly, and among the latest innovations is Manus AI. This AI agent, developed by the startup Monica, is changing the way machines interact with the web and perform tasks autonomously.

Google Advises Caution With AI-Generated Answers

Google’s Gary Illyes cautioned about the use of Large Language Models (LLMs), affirming the importance of checking authoritative sources before accepting any answers from an LLM. His answer was given in the context of a question, but curiously, he didn’t publish what that question was. LLM Answer Engines Based on what Gary Illyes said, it’s clear that the context of his recommendation is the use of AI for answering queries. The statement comes in the wake of OpenAI’s announcement of SearchGPT that they are testing an AI Search Engine prototype. It may be that his statement is not related to that announcement and is just a coincidence. Gary first explained how LLMs craft answers to questions and mentions how a technique called “grounding” can improve the accuracy of the AI-generated answers but that it’s not 100% perfect, that mistakes still slip through. Grounding is a way to connect a database of facts, knowledge, and web pages to an LLM. The goal is to ground the AI-generated answers to authoritative facts. This is what Gary posted: “Based on their training data LLMs find the most suitable words, phrases, and sentences that align with a prompt’s context and meaning. This allows them to generate […]
