OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a vulgar display of power.

Then, the programmers all said "Great! Let's see if we can do it!"
But hey Altman and AI have no ethics so meh.
Generators: guys it's just a tool!
It's a cute PR stunt like smashing the shop windows of someone who resists theft and extortion is a "cute PR stunt".
I know what copyright lawyers would answer.
The OP's claim is that this is a dominance ploy, & given Miyazake's well known views on the subject, it's hard to argue with that claim.

this isn't hidden knowledge. They LIKE BEING CALLED OUT for fucks sake. They enjoy this. You're not winning.

In the US we’re letting the courts decide the issue and they seem to be reaching the same conclusion.
I don't think OAI seeded this or promoted it or anything at all, it was groundswell from people having fun and riffing with each other
I don't really see them as separable. You want to publicly piss on the idea of copyright? What better choice than the production company of someone known for fundamentally disagreeing with your ideas about the literal & moral nature of creativity?
I agree that something should be done...but in what order...?
Because I have enough of my own II*, I don’t need / use it.

But yes, graphic designers and any other commercial artists that aren’t figuring out how to use this tech are absolutely cooked.
I’m warning you that this attack won’t land.
There is a dangerous belief on this site that a bubble will burst, or the courts will do something.
They won’t. Copyright does not exist to protect artists.
After we topple the current government and clean house of the corporate democrats and billionaires, perhaps we can get legislation that does exactly that, with no wiggle room.
This is who they are. Believe someone who shows you who they are. People and their art are simply resources to exploit to them.
#Boycott chat GPT!
You know they're kidnapping kids off the street, right? They think it's hilarious that you're wringing your hands and lightly plagiarizing The Exorcist about this
