Ripple CTO, David Schwartz, joined the Ghibli-style portrait trend on social media, creating images featuring himself, Stuart Alderoty, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
Schwartz's Ghibli picture with Alderoty sparked a humorous reaction from many online, with fans jokingly asking 'XRP pump when?' and 'Where's Gary Now?'
The Studio Ghibli trend involves transforming ordinary photos into whimsical Ghibli-style art using ChatGPT's AI tool.
While the trend has gained popularity, it has also faced criticism from artists who feel that AI is recreating their style without the time and effort they put in.
