The ghibli image generation meme was clearly responsible for a significant portion of openai’s growth to being a $300 billion company. If altman didnt throw ghibli at least a few hundred million for that, ghibli should sue openai.
The meme is likely to have profited both Studio Ghibli and OpenAI, as the studios probably got some publicity for it, without direct competition as Ghibli is not in the business of drawing memes.
Either way, it probably doesn't amount to much, it was just a fad.
