Miyazaki doesn’t deserve this.
This is a future worse than Nausicaa…
Studio Ghibli was very good in portraying disgusting pigs as just that.
I’d enjoy seeing them in a more Yubaba style. Give em the gross details.
My couch ran away
It just escaped the solar system.
What is the flag on the right?
Looks to me like an incorrect depiction of the Ohio state flag
AI slop… well it’s all AI slop, but things like misplaced anatomy, or incorrect numbers of malformed digits, and misinterpreted symbolic representations and brands is the most egregious forms of AI slop.
Ohio’s stupid triangular flag.
Ohio, it’s hard to see it’s cool shape when it’s at rest
North Korea (best korea)
Im out of the loop here, what’s this whole drama about?
OpenAI released a generative model that emulates the famous Studio Ghibli art style; or more precisely Hayao Miyazaki’s art style. The latter had once said “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself” when presented with a proof of concept of AI generated 3D characters, an exchange you can watch here. Now, this specific sentence refers more to the idea of using unnatural movements similar to a disability for creepy shock factor; but he also seems avert to the concept of AI art.
Also to add context for those unaware, this is meant to be JD Vance, the US Vice President
I’m not shocked that the oldest generation of animators are anti-AI art. The quality isn’t professional yet (even with the newest models) but it’s just good enough now that it’s easier to slap together something with AI than to pay a real artist. Quality vs cost/time tradeoffs are hard for real professionals to accept.
Hayao Miyazaki’s art style specifically has so much life injected into it, that you would have to be incredibly specific to even approach his style.
There’s an instance that stands out in Spirited Away, when Chihiro is putting on her shoes, she taps the toes of one foot against the ground to set it on correctly. A miniscule detail, but one that makes her feel more real. You’d need such an elaborate prompt to make that happen via AI, but thats the kind of detail that he includes in his movies. To him, the thought of having “someone” illustrate that who has never put their shoe on incorrectly and had to fix it is beyond inauthentic. That’s my take. Less about the worry of technology taking over, and more about the technology not understanding the language it’s being taught, because it can’t.
Animation is a totally different beast than still images, of course. Almost all AI video is complete shit right now.
Fuck off with that noise.
This ideas that humans are going to be more productive with Ai is such a corporate grift.
Fuck being more productive! Ai is capitalism maximizing productivity and minimizing labour costs.
Ai isn’t targeting tedious labour, the people building these systems are going after art, music and the creative process. They want to take the human out of the equation and pump out more content to monetize at ever increasing rates.
Monetise or propagandise?
Both. It’s probably both.
You seem to have the false assumption that all AI is owned by corporations, and that it is only used for business purposes.
If I’m using AI running locally on my own machine, for my own amusement or even (heaven forbid) productivity, there is nothing unethical about that.
he said that 10 years ago
This looks more like Tin Tin.
