The Dark Side of AI-Generated Ghibli-fication Images: A Review of the Potential Risks and Consequences

Abstract

The recent launch of OpenAI's advanced AI image generator has sparked a global phenomenon, with users creating and sharing Ghibli-style images on social media. However, this trend raises significant concerns about data privacy, as users voluntarily upload personal images, exposing facial data and potentially compromising their privacy. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the issues surrounding AI-generated images, including the impact on personal data, the lack of transparency in AI training, and the potential risks of data misuse. We also examine the implications of AI companies retaining user data indefinitely and the need for users to scrutinize terms of service and demand transparency.
