Maybe an unpopular opinion here, but I feel like posting AI-generated ghibli-style pictures is hugely disrespectful to Miyazaki and all the values he stand for. Miyazaki said once he feels “AI Art” is an “insult to life itself” - and I have to agree, since it strips all the human element art is supposed to represent
Ok… but is the picture art??? I don’t think anyone would try to argue it is. Miyazaki was specifically talking about how no algorithm can produce art, and I agree.
What makes this screenshot funny is the human element, the performance! It’s all ridiculous.
Glorified Matrix Algebra: [Presents an image of a caked-up gnome]
Internet goblin: “Make it’s butt even bigger.”
Glorified Matrix Algebra: “Sorry, that’s a bridge too far for me.”
I kinda came here to say this. It really doesnt feel right doing that to Miyazaki after all the passion he put into the world. This is a slap to the face no matter the context. It is against his every wish.
Is digital art itself bad, because its not the human doing all of it?
Is it ableist to not define AI art as art, when handicapped people can’t perform the same actions?
Does it not create an abundance of art, and thus expands the entire field making it evolve well beyond its current state?
Gate keeping art is silly regardless, you can’t stop it. Just be happy you could make people pay for it while you could, like coal shovelers and blacksmiths things change.

It is bad primarily because it plagiarizes historical art in order to undermine the professional trade for future artists.
It forecloses art as a career, thereby depriving future generations of evolution in style and professional craft.

The gate being constructed fences off professional artists from the revenue their work produced. And in doing so, it defunds the schools and studios where professionals pass their craft from master to apprentice.
With tablets and software its easier than ever to produce and share art, it doesn’t have to be a job any more because its so easy to produce and share. It’s not a bad thing, we can create whatever art we want with ease, unlimited abundance. Let’s not paint that positive reality like a bad thing.

Please reconsider this like of argument in the future, it just comes across as cynical using the disabled for arguments sake. There are plenty of blind/deaf/handicapped/motor impaired/etc people making art of various forms. Deaf musicians. Blind painters. Non-verbal writers.
What makes art, “art” is the human creativity of original thought and intrinsic meaning, even if it is derivative. A jazz beat sampled on a rap track is art because it has social/familial meaning - beat makers often unwittingly share their childhood memories listening to their parent’s music at home. A painter may be influenced by their surreal visions, or the war and horrors they witnessed.

Not to be controversial, but genocide is bad
Not to be obvious, but bears shit in woods
Bears, beets, battlestar galactica
That one IS a controversial opinion unfortunately.
Just put the shitpost in the bag

We can simultaneously agree that what’s happening is bad and disrespectful, and still find it funny :3

slap right in the disappointingly unreenlarged buns

Art has soul in it. Ai has no soul.
The end. ^^
Sounds to me like Miyazaki needs to lighten up.
Sounds to me that you need to become a bit more human and empathic.
But daddy elon told me empathy was bad
That quote is taken totally out of context
It’s been a bit since I saw the original behind the scenes vid or whatever it was, what was the context?
https://youtu.be/ngZ0K3lWKRc is the original context. I’d say it fits what I said perfectly
