OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared an anime-style image, depicting himself as a cricket player wearing an India jersey on April 3 (Thursday). This comes amidst the popular Ghibli-style art trend which has taken the social media by storm. The American entrepreneur has been actively experimenting with OpenAI’s ChatGPT-generated images. It started with a fun Studio Ghibli-style makeover, which he even set as his X (formerly Twitter) profile picture. He later shared a heartfelt image of himself holding his newborn son.

Posting on X, Altman revealed that he used the prompt: "Sam Altman as a cricket player in anime style." The resulting image shows him holding a cricket bat while wearing a jersey with "India" emblazoned on it. Created using OpenAI’s advanced image-generation technology, the artwork joins a growing trend of Studio Ghibli-inspired visuals that have flooded the social media recently.
