New Delhi, March 27 -- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently found himself at the centre of an unexpected social media trend, as users began generating Studio Ghibli-style portraits of him using OpenAI's latest image creation tool. Embracing the development, Altman updated his profile picture and posted on X, "Changed my pfp but maybe someone will make me a better one."

He followed up with a humorous reflection on his AI journey, highlighting the irony of his work in artificial intelligence being momentarily overshadowed by an internet meme:

">be me >grind for a decade trying to help make superintelligence to cure cancer or whatever >mostly no one cares for first 7.5 years, then for 2.5 years everyone hates you for everything >wake up one day ...
