TL;DR ChatGPT is working on an Image Styles feature that would add a pre-defined instruction set to your prompt to achieve a specific image style in your results.

Users would be able to select from aesthetic styles such as “Anime,” “Cyberpunk,” “Coloring Book,” and more.

These styles can be added as instructions for converting existing images or generating new ones.

ChatGPT’s image generation capabilities are pretty nifty, and it’s largely credited for sparking the viral trend of Studio Ghibli-fying your images. However, given the nature of AI image generation, users must know the right prompt to get the right results, which often isn’t a piece of cake. Many users end up searching for the exact prompt to be used to get a specific style for their generated or converted image. ChatGPT could be looking to simplify this process by introducing Image Styles, allowing users to generate new images or convert existing images according to pre-defined styles from within the app.
