Let's talk about the Ghibli drama (lemmy.world)

People on twitter at each other’s throats for a recent trend in which you can use imageai filters to reproduce images in Studio Ghibli style.

Lots of people are throwing around the Miyazaki quote where he calls AI an “insult to life itself” - it’s worth noting that this came after he witnessed a simulation using AI animation to make a zombie body crawl across the ground. Miyazaki remarked that he has a very disabled friend he sees regularly, and that he can't find this usage cool or interesting. He goes on to remark about generative AI later in the clip, but let’s be clear, that specific statement was disconnected.

I’m curious what the Lemmy opinion is here. Is this a short-lived fad or does it speak to larger ramifications in the creative industry? Is this a silly little image filter or a harbinger of global artistic doom?

I think of it in a way that parallels the invention of the power loom. Weaving was still around afterwards, but it absolutely transformed the industry. Hand weaving was still around, but it wasn't economically viable anymore except as a luxury or hobby.

That transition led to riots as it destroyed people's livings. This will absolutely be transformational.

These days you can still find hand woven stuff, but it is medicinally expensive. Once a certain amount of control and consistency exist for AI image making, it's going to be the only thing most corporations and people use unless they are looking for a luxury experience or hobby.
