In this picture, the Ghibli trend set off to give the woman some spy hands to hold a camera out for her as she Spies through her binoculars.
Ghibli didn’t even spare Salman Khan, a blockbuster star in Bollywood. This fan posted this picture on X (Earlier Twitter) about how OpenAI wrongly imagined the Bollywood sensation as a glum, Rhinoceros.

Ghibli, the start of AI Rule?
