Mr. Miyazaki sir, I love your movies about how capitalism and the destruction of nature are evil, I made a shitty facsimile of them in a computer that drains reservoirs, do you like it

Related to: Mr. Roddenberry I love your show about a post scarcity world with no poverty that emphasizes empathy, human development, equality and exploration.
So here’s my movie about an evil conspiracy involving sexy people randomly blowing up everyone. And lens flares.
Not to mention photography didn't involve taking a picture of a painting and framing it without permission, then selling it off for money (without permission). Even a mosaic of such pictures would still be questionable without permission.
I think there are multiple things going on here. I doubt anyone is making money selling or is using these in a non-ironical way to pass it as real art. I think what constitutes art is not as straightforward, change is coming. I've been thinking about Kafka's Josephine the Singer.
People (well corpos, techbros, and other such subhumans) are literally as of now using it to replace artists and writers, and are chomping at the bit to use it as much as possible.
Once again, an AI gen booster is a baldfaced lying POS, and I doubt you've ever thought about anything in your life.
These specific instances? Perhaps not yet, but it won't be long before some newspaper or magazine that wants an illustration is using a generator trained on Ghibli art. It was already almost a year ago I first saw a newspaper headline splashed across an AI-gen image. That's not slowed.
I think it brings up important things that we have to think about. Can you really copyright a specific art style or a particular representational artifact (that is not copied 1-1). I'm not for it, I don't think there is any inherent value is derivative works apart from their novelty value.
Also your photography analogy stinks ass because photography is a skill in and of itself that still requires understanding of lighting, composition and takes time to learn. Your little generator does everything for you and it does it badly.
Why are you people always ignoring the fact that gen AI is really really for the environment and also that gen ai is plain plagiarism that wouldnt work if it didnt scrape so many artists work without permission? Your silly little meme is pretty fucking harmful.
Now the admin is Mizaki-ing their gestapo raids and I'm fairly certain that if Hayao were a few decades younger he'd be flying to the US with blueprints for a Doohickey.
They're not trying to impress him. To them this is a war that they think they're winning. They think this is proof that the world doesn't need people like Miyazaki anymore.
what they showed him was framed in terms of this incredibly ableistic "body horror" trying to follow the shitty zombie stuff that was everywhere at the time
i have no reason to doubt miyazaki disapproves of AI now but i do wonder how he'd frame that disapproval in contrast to what happened here
tbf when earwig and the witch came out people repurposed that quote heavily to apply to 3d animated movies as a whole when miyazaki was specifically looking at ai generated dogshit
Came here to ask if this was in reference to this scene particularly, lol. Wow- what a moment that was!! And for Japanese people this is like unbridled, passionate rage
it's actually not. the thing he was talking about is called procedural animation and has been in use for decades as a tool for natural movement by 3D characters. someone just called it "AI" and it got conflated with the recent garbage
He hates it because it’s a computer doing it and movement is extremely important to him. In Between animation is an absolute art form that you can see the difference between when a human does it and when a computer does it. Its an understandable reaction from a master
yeah, if i recall people were pitching it as an efficient replacement for handmade animation (which it obviously isn't) too, so the framing would have also been bad. his reaction to the way it was presented i take no issue with
I figured it was an American/Silicon Valley phenomenon, but no, tech bros worldwide just don’t get that trying to replace artists is inherently a malevolent pursuit.
The person who started it is a total jackass and fundamentally doesn’t understand art or themes so I doubt he even understands how Miyazaki feels about it
nah that zombie shit was all the rage those days, that stuff actually had some promise too
(i say this as someone who still wonders if we could ever have a first-person shooter that dynamically, seamlessly adjusts someone's limb hitboxes as they climb arbitrarily placed steps)
I know you took years to meticulously hand draw to perfection every film, constantly critiquing/editing/correction yourself and your whole team. i made what you made, but in 20 seconds
the value of generated work is going to decline the more ubiquitous it gets. normal people will develop a general understanding of how little thought and effort its 'creators' put into its design and tire of it. it'll likely balloon in popularity and look dated v quickly
it's already associated with scams and bad low production value content mill stuff. tbh I see the value of LLMs in terms of tooling (keying, isolating elements, etc) but generating things via prompt is practically the clipart of the 2020s. that's an insult to clipart tbh

One's an all-consuming monster that produces fool's gold, and the other's a yōkai called No-Face.
