After ChatGPT’s Ghibli-style art feature gained widespread attention, Elon Musk’s Grok introduced a similar capability, allowing users to create Ghibli-like art and AI portraits from photos or text descriptions. Unlike ChatGPT, which limits free-tier users to three image generations per day, Grok offers this feature without requiring a paid membership.
The accessibility of free image generation could be a key factor behind Grok’s rising popularity on the Play Store. Additionally, the new Grok 3 update, which promises improved response speed and enhanced image generation, may also be contributing to its growing user base.
