In the age of AI art trends taking over social media, a simple typo led to an unexpectedly delightful outcome for a woman who asked ChatGPT to generate a “Ghibli-style” image of her photo, but accidentally typed “Hibli” instead.
In a now-viral Instagram post, the user, Neha Bose, shared her amusement over the erred prompt. “I mistakenly wrote ‘Hibli’ instead of ‘Ghibli’ & here's what I got”, she captioned the visuals she posted online.
Take a look at the reel
Neha uploaded a photo of herself and her partner posing at a beach. What was expected to be an animated Studio Ghibli image turned into a rich, handmade artwork that surprised her along with thousands of others online.
Instead of soft anime aesthetics, the AI-generated image had deep textures and ornate patterns, resembling a traditional folk art form. Many online compared it to beautiful Madhubani paintings, a style rooted in Indian heritage known for its intricate detailing and vibrant storytelling through art.
Internet reacts
Reactions poured in, with one user noting, “Looking like little bit Madhubani painting that I notice in my childhood on the show of POGO (Krish, Trish & Baltiboy),” while another added, “Poogo ka wo cartoon yaad agaya.”
Someone playfully suggested, “Ek baar ‘Jalebi’ likh ke bhi dekhlo… kuch na kuch to bana hi dega,” while another commented on the viral fatigue about such trends, saying, “No more trend please ek to ye Ghibli khatam nahi ho raha, pata chala ab Hibli bhi banani hai.”
Still, some were genuinely impressed, saying, “Actually it is better (than Ghibli).”
