Sam Altman has been having quite the time experimenting with AI-generated images. It started with a whimsical Studio Ghibli-style transformation —he even changed his X (formerly Twitter) profile picture to match. Then, he shared a heartwarming AI-generated image of himself holding his newborn son. But his latest creation? It’s a shift in style altogether. This time, the OpenAI CEO went full anime. And not just any anime character— an Indian cricketer.
Altman shared the AI-generated image on X, making sure to reveal the exact prompt he used to create it.
“Prompt: Sam Altman as a cricket player in anime style,” he wrote, accompanying the post with the striking artwork. The image is certainly eye-catching. It features Altman gripping a cricket bat, dressed in a jersey emblazoned with the word “India.”
Take a look at it here:
While the concept itself was fun, some eagle-eyed users were quick to notice certain details that didn’t quite add up.
Social media users wasted no time in reacting to Altman’s unexpected cricket avatar. Some found it amusing, others were confused and a few were ready to nitpick the finer details. One user asked, “Are you Indian?” while another jokingly welcomed him to the team, commenting, “You represent Indian cricket now.” Others, however, took a more critical approach. A user pointed out an inaccuracy in the AI-generated scene: “The surroundings look like a baseball stadium and it’s a baseball, not a cricket ball, here in the image created. Quite a basic error if you’re talking about wanting to grow in India!”
Another joined in on the critique, saying, “That’s definitely not a cricket stadium, and the bat looks… questionable.”
Some users, however, didn’t seem to mind the small errors. One playfully wrote, “As long as you hit sixes, we don’t care, Sam!”
This isn’t the first time Sam Altman has dived into AI-generated art. When OpenAI’s new image generator rolled out, users flooded the platform with their creations. Altman himself had joined in, but at one point, he asked users to slow down.
Clearly, AI-generated visuals are evolving fast, and Altman is enjoying the ride. So, what do you think of his anime-style cricket avatar?
