Too cute, I think I'll get this little goober tattoo'd on me
Cool! I have one tiny commie tattoo in a visible place that's ambiguous enough for people to not pull me into political discussions on the street - that's something worth considering if you're on a more introverted side (:
Relevant article: Stop Sharing The Ghibli AI Slop, What Is Wrong With You
Though honestly, the base image for this is so minimal that this just ends up looking like a kinda shitty Photoshop filter or something, not something you'd want to use genAI for to begin with
Counterpoint: I don't care about Ghibli and Miyazaki!
Okay? Even if you don't, you should still be against American billionaire Sam Altman directly targeting his critics out of spite, right? Like I get that this site is a lot more pro-AI than most other circles I'm in (even if I highly disagree with most of it), but we should at least make sure that doesn't go so far as defending literal techbro billionaires who are directly going out of their way to harm artists
Oh I don't disagree with you, I disagree with the article that puts Ghibli on a pedestal as if Miyazaki was untouchable, and acts as though some sacred foundation just came crumbling down from an AI doing Ghibli better than previous models did. It's Miyazaki today and it'll be Van Gogh tomorrow. What this shows is that AI image is getting better and is not hitting the plateau yet.
That's my counterpoint to the article and by extension to the writer; I don't care what Miyazaki thinks of AI and that his art style is now getting copied by AI. Miyazaki himself is a multi-millionaire (if that still means anything nowadays lol); this new development won't invalidate his human work, won't put him out of a job, and won't ruin his existing movies for people that liked them before - at least until some company does an "AI edit" of Princess Mononoke or whatever lol. In fact, he has a financial interest in edifying his style to something non-copiable (or that seems like it can't be copied). If Miyazaki wants to do something against openAI over this he has the means to do it.
Of course Altman is a fascist! I don't disagree with the author there and have written about him myself a couple times and how these tech figures are conspiring to reshape society in their individual image. But he will be a fascist with or without a Ghibli AI model.
Unrelated, but in case you want one more argument to combat the commonplace glorification of Ghibli: https://xenosagaepisodeone.tumblr.com/post/779322203162427392/i-feel-as-if-studio-ghibli-films-being-reduced-to
Who is defending Sam lmao
I love how happy this lil guy is
