Create story with GPT-4o
GPT-4o has been so popular recently for changing photos to Ghibli styles. That dreamy, hand-drawn softness resonates with something deep inside me. At first, I just played around with some real photos. Then I tried creating a story with a Ghibli version of me. Suddenly, it felt like I had become one of the characters in a Ghibli film, stepping into that gentle, whimsical world, and living inside the fantasy for a while.
The Mountain Knows is a picture book I created with the help of GPT-4o. We made four chapters. I appear as the main character in this story, taking a gentle journey through a dreamlike world. I began the story in winter, and gently made my way to spring, mirroring the real season outside my window. Here is the story:
