Hayao Miyazaki Studio Ghibli

Chatgpt’s Studio Ghibli Ai Art Trend is an insult to life itself

by

In the past, Openai has explicitly refrained from allows to create prompts and generate images mimicking studio ghibli’s art style to avoid potential copyright lawsuits From the anime giant. That is, until the company released a New chatgpt update earlier this week Touting its Technological Ability to Create more “Precise, Accurate, Photorealistic Outputs.” The update has lad to an online trend where Folks are posting ai-generated images using openai to transform themeselves into characters from ghibli films, like Spirited Away, Princess mononokeand My neighbor totoro,

Building on that, chatgpt’s new update has meant verified accounts on x/twitter have been smarmily patting openai on the back for how its new update is democratizing animation Prompts transforming photos of their weddings and whatnot into something that ghibli could have created. What’s WorsE, Openai appears to be leaning into the farcical fad despite its previous reservations. On Wednsday, Openai Ceo Sam Altman appeared to have cosigned the trend by changing his profile picture to a chatgpt AI-Generated Image of Himself as a Ghibli Character,

In a post on his Official X/Twitter AccountAltman Wrote “> be me /> grind for a decade for help make superinteligence to cure cancer or waser /> mostly no one cares for first 7.5 years, theg Everything /> Wake Up One Day to Hundreds of Messages: ‘Look I Made You INTO A Twink Ghibli Style Haha.’

This also Haappened Wednsday:

The underlying issue in this entreion is how ai initiatives like the one mentioned Above Reflect Breathless Tech Bro Sentiments About Ai “Democratizing art” By enabling anyone to input a prompt and receive an image in a distinctive art style. Art styles professional animators put years of work into mastering. It is also the latest (and arguably the most brazen) example of copyright infringing Battling for Protections from shit like this,

The whole affair is made excedingly WORSE WHEN You Consider the official white house x/twitter account jumping on the trend, posting ghibli-refined images to dehumanize payopele in President Donald Trump’s Massive Deportation Campaign,

While Studio Ghibli has Yet to Issue An official comment or announs legal action against openai’s new update being Made his feelings explicitly clear about AI: He despies it. In NHK’s 2016 Documentary, Never-Ending ManA production intern showed miyazaki a demonstration (Using “Deep Learning” ai) of a dismbred zombie using its head to Wriggle across the floor. After a pregnant pause, miyazaki provided feedback on the video in the form of an anecdote, leading to the meme of heim calling it, “an insult to life its item.”

“Let me just say say a friend who disabled. He would walk up to me. Mine touch. I think of Him, and can’t say i like this, ”Miyazaki said. “Whoever made it gives no thought to pain. It’s very unpleasant.

Miyazaki Wanting Nothing to do with ai is pretty undertandable considering the labor he and his animators put into making screens in their feature films as awe inspiring as they. There’s no great example of this herculean effort than a clip from nhk’s 10 years with hayao miyazaki Documentary, which made the rounds online shorting the ghibli ai animation trend.

The video, which shows a Four-Second Clip of a Busy Crowd in Wind risesTook Animator Eiji Yamamori 15 months to complete. When Yamamori Downplayed Miyazaki Telling Him Good Job, Saying “It’s so short thought,” Miyazaki responded in kind saying, “But it was worth it.” Should Ghibli and Miyazaki Wish to Pursue Legal Action Against Openai and Chatgpt, We’ll Bring the popcorn.
