The post comes amid a surge in the use of OpenAI's latest image-generation feature, powered by GPT-4o.
As demand skyrocketed, Altman earlier urged ChatGPT users to "slow down."
Since the feature was launched, social media has been flooded with dreamy, Ghibli-inspired portraits.
The tool reimagines subjects in the distinctive style of the legendary Japanese animation studio, fueling relentless demand.
Altman and his partner, software engineer Oliver Mulherin, welcomed their first child earlier this year.
In an emotional post, Altman shared that their son was born prematurely and required time in the NICU. "He is doing well, and it's really nice to be in a little bubble taking care of him," he wrote, adding, "I have never felt such love."
