Hey, have you tried OpenAI’s Ghibli-style AI image generator yet? It’s everywhere since launching last week—celebs, politicians, and regular folks are transforming selfies into Hayao Miyazaki-inspired art. But not everyone’s on board. Privacy advocates on X are worried OpenAI’s collecting personal pics for AI training, while ethical debates about copyrighted art and AI’s impact on human artists heat up. So, is it safe to upload your photos? Let’s break it down.
Privacy Concerns Popping Up
- Data Collection Vibes: Critics on X (like @ivivekch) say uploading pics might hand OpenAI your face data on a silver platter.
- GDPR Loophole: Expert Luiza Jarovsky notes voluntary uploads give OpenAI consent under GDPR’s Article 6.1.a—no “legitimate interest” hassle needed.
- What They Keep: OpenAI’s policy says they use your data to train AI unless you opt out, keeping original pics while others see “Ghiblified” versions.
Cybersecurity Warnings
- Expert Caution: Himachal Cyber Warriors warn your selfie could be misused—think deepfakes or ad targeting.
- ChatGPT’s Take: When asked, it said, “Not super safe unless you know the privacy rules. We don’t keep pics post-session, but offline tools are safer.”
Ethical Buzz
- Art Debate: Miyazaki’s skeptical of AI, and activists say it sidesteps copyright issues by using your uploads instead of scraped data.
It’s a blast seeing yourself Ghibli-style, but privacy folks hint your face could still be analyzed or misused. No vibe-kill intended—just know the deal before you upload! Worth it for that Miyazaki magic? You tell me.
