There was huge backlash last month when OpenAI announced its new AI image generator and demonstrated it by showing Studio Ghibli-inspired pictures. The company's CEO, Sam Altman, responded to the criticism last Sunday by describing it as "democratization" of art creation. @ArtNews's digital director Harrison Jacobs says Altman's missed the point, quoting Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki. "I can’t watch this stuff and find [it] interesting. Whoever creates this stuff has no idea what pain is whatsoever. I am utterly disgusted. If you really want to make creepy stuff, you can go ahead and do it. I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.”

I want the composition to be just right

Did this on yesterdays art stream!
Been circling around doing a piece about The Boy and the Heron for such a long time now.
Maybe I'll get to it eventually :D

A thousand and one reason why this #StudioGhibli #ai image generation should stop right now...
The text *should* have been "An Ród so Romham". It is not.
#SteveHarris removed the image since.

Israel is now using anime-style AI generated content for its propaganda.

(In 2003, Miyazaki refused to attend the Oscars due to the US war in Iraq)

And for those who adore #RetroGaming - you might enjoy this: the extended Secrets of Mana cover art.

I have never 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 enjoyed the game. I think its too old for me, though I have tried time and again. And it's entirely because of this #art they used that I keep on trying.

Something totally nostalgic and mysterious and even #StudioGhibli ish to it. Anyway, enjoy!

The frenzy to create Ghibli-style AI art using ChatGPT's image-generation tool led to a record surge in users for OpenAI's chatbot last week, straining its servers and temporarily limiting the feature's usage. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/02/tech/ghibli-chatgpt-viral-feature/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #openai #chatgpt #ai #hayaomiyazaki #anime #studioghibli #chatbots #copyright
