  Why this controversy now? Tools like StyleGAN could do this for years already.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    The problem is ai uses direct references from studio ghiblia work. Without the source material ai would not be able to accurately copy it.

      The problem is that artists have been cribbing off the studio Ghibli style forever, a cursory search through deviant art going back to its inception would also reveal that. I do understand the slippery slope of AI, but it’s very fiddly grounds if the art piece is not used for profit.

  AI does not produce art and there is no such thing as an “AI Artist”.

  If you use AI to generate content based on other peoples work and make money off of it you are a thief as well as no talent loser.

  How you even trademark a drawing style?

    How do you have “intellectual property” in the first place? It’s absolutely absurd that you can claim ownership of an idea that no longer exists in your mind alone.

      IP in general is very important. It’s the fundamental cornerstone of our society. Without IP completely, our society would collapse. But it has limits: You can trademark a brand or a product or a patent. But a drawing style? I find that questionable.

  It’s basically fanart being banned but worse, and everybody is cheering for the copyright industry winning and censoring us again.

  I wonder if we’ll run out of styles in a few years or if it will only apply to the ones with lawyers and money behind them.

  copyright law in japan is ridiculous if you think about it. The most recent and well known case is nintendo v palworld.

  I would argue its ridiculous everywhere.
