  People are fucking idiots. If you hand make/photoshop/non LLM based automated software to create these kinds of images, it’s been fine, but since it’s “AI” it’s now horrifying and an affront to art and human souls /s

    You’re getting downvoted, but you’re right. There’s nothing stopping anybody from replicating this art style, why do the tools involved make a difference now?

      I assume you can do it by hand, right now, in a few seconds then?

        So the problem is that anyone can do it?

        So? Just because you can make something fast with tools doesn’t make the art of making it without these tools less impressive or appealing.

      The tools matter because of the sheer volume of content which literally any meth head can produce, which has already severely tainted the whole online ecosystem, and will only get worse.

  Because people are attacking a beloved Japanese cultural icon.

  It’s the concept of a foreign party stealing/defacing a cultural treasure and a national icon. To some it probably feels offensive in a personal way with that classic flavor imperialist cultural appropriation. Which I can see the argument for, even if I do think it’s overly focused on a single episode instead of the greater AI issues at hand

    I’ve put a fair bit of effort into trying to understand the Japanese perspective, because as a northerner it frankly displays an odd contrast of values, being extremely sexually liberal, while also holding firm to tradition and social responsibility. It appears to me as though they manage this by maintaining quite clear social boundaries regarding empathy for each other’s individual perspective, and so they don’t appreciate when things which hold a strong sentimental place in many people’s hearts, such as the master of anime’s unique style, or a Shinto shrine in a popular video game, are portrayed in an uncharitable light within the public sphere.

      Honestly I wouldn’t say that they are extremely sexually liberal, just that their very niche pornography culture is over-represented in western media while actually being very looked down upon by their actual society itself

  OpenAI recently updated ChatGPT to be able to reproduce images in a specific style, and a lot of people posted Ghibli-style versions. So all of a sudden, it’s a big deal.
