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?

    This has always been a class war… I am pissed I was not taught this when I was a child and don’t figure it until adult hood.

    Children must be educated about who their enemies are from early age so they know how to deal with the parasite

    Instead we got

    if you work hard everyone will work out 🤡

    These “adults” were worse than a shit stained toilet paper.

    While the rich teach their children very clearly which team they are on and how to play well for that team.
