We asked ChatGPT that if it is stealing the data of people, who are turning their images into Ghibli artwork through the AI platform. Here’s what ChatGPT had to say.
No, ChatGPT is not stealing your data through Ghibli images or any other kind of images.
Some people on the internet are asking this question because they are worried about their privacy. They think that when they send a picture, like an image from a Studio Ghibli film, ChatGPT might take their personal information. But this is not true.
What Really Happens with Images?
When you upload an image to ChatGPT, it only looks at the image to answer your question or to help with your request. For example, if you upload a Ghibli image and ask, “Which movie is this from?”, ChatGPT will try to find the answer based on what it sees in the picture.
The system does not save your image or use it to track you. It does not collect your personal details like your name, address, or phone number.
What Is Studio Ghibli?
Studio Ghibli is a Japanese animation studio. They make famous movies like My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away, and Howl’s Moving Castle. Many people love the beautiful art in these films and enjoy sharing Ghibli pictures online.
Where Did the Rumour Start?
Some users on social media said that after sharing Ghibli pictures with ChatGPT, they noticed strange things, like personalised ads or app crashes. But this is likely a coincidence or caused by something else. ChatGPT does not use your images to send you ads or affect your phone or computer.
Is Your Data Safe with ChatGPT?
Yes. OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has rules to protect your data. They do not share your chats or images with other companies. They also give users the option to turn off chat history.
Can AI companies store your photo?
The answer depends on which country you are in and what terms you have agreed to. Strict data protection policies like Europe’s GDPR, India’s DPDP Act and the US’ CCPA force companies to get explicit permission from users. But AI tools often use complex and ambiguous language in their policies. This leaves users confused about how long their photos will be stored.
“If a company’s data retention policy is not clear, these photos could be stored indefinitely and users would be unaware of it,” Desai warns.
What are the risks involved in creating Ghibli style images?
Ghibli-style AI-generated images look stunning. But there is a deeper technical truth behind them. These are not just regular photos scraped from the internet, but clear, front-facing, and high-resolution images. They are perfect for training facial recognition, identity synthesis, and deepfake algorithms.
Risk of online fraud from AI generated
AI-generated faces can be used for identity fraud. Desai says that deepfake technology has become so advanced that these faces can dodge KYC verification and biometric security. AI-generated faces have already been used in cases of financial fraud and fake identity creation.
What precautions should users take?
If you are using such AI tools, ask yourself some important questions. Such as:
- Does the app clearly state what your photo will be used for?
- Are your images deleted immediately after processing, or stored?
- Does the app give you the option to delete your data?
- What measures does the company have to protect stored data?
- Does the company comply with GDPR, DPDP or other data privacy laws?
The fine line between creativity and exploitation
The Ghibli style AI trend may provide a few moments of entertainment for users, but it is important to understand how the companies behind it are using your data. Paritosh Desai says, ‘It is not wise to hand over your biometric identity for a few seconds of fun.’
The debate continues on the growing impact and ethics of AI technology. But one thing is certain that the next viral trend may not just be fun, but also the next big theft of your data. Now the question is – are you willing to give up your biometric identity in exchange for a beautiful picture?
