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?

Keep stealing art from artists

Artists start pushing back against the steal of their life work

Is AI a tool for good?

What the fuck is wrong with you people?? If I come and steal your house reselling it to unknown people how would you like it?

We truly are living a time of complete idiocy

The metaphor is off. It's more like soneone steals the plans to your and thousands of similar houses from an architect, then builds a machine that builds houses like that from photos or drawings in seconds.

Still something which should be burned and forgotten as a shameful outcome of consumerism and capitalism

steal your house reselling it to unknown people Even if we assume AI training on images is plagiarism, is copying an image the same as stealing it if you don’t use it for commercial purposes? I can make shitty photoshops of the Mona Lisa eating pizza - am I stealing art from Da Vinci?

Are most people really “reselling it to unknown people” or are they just using the model for fun? Is there any example of a business or individual successfully using the Ghibli model to create sellable goods? Seems to me the majority of people are just making cute portraits of their families.

So it's a useless tool used to create useless trash cluttering the internet and wasting memory.

Or is a tool used by those who created the algorithm to steal information from uniformed people and the skills of specific group of people without the creativity that makes these skills useful.

In any case is an utterly irrelevant instrument which does not produce anything of value (in the best case) or is stealing data and knowledge for the profit of a very small minority of people possessing the algorithms.

There is no use in keeping it alive and it should be destroyed before immediately.

If you don't believe so please present a user case where such a tool can do something good for humanity.

Protip: you can't
