Disclaimer: I can’t draw, so I used AI to create it: a robot that killed the next budding artist (hidden as a cute creature from Ghibli’s world).
If you compare the written work produced by AI three years ago with what Chatgpt created last year, the difference is unimaginable. And if you compare the works of art that AI produced six months ago with what he can do today, the difference… So, what can I say, there is nothing revolutionary.
When Openai started the new Chatgpt image creation feature, it took only two days for social media to explode with Ghibli -like comments from celebrities to memes and personal photographs.

Studio Ghibli has a very different art style thanks to its founding partner Hayao Miyazaki’s focus on hand -drawn techniques. Frames are drawn by artists (such as Kazuo Oga) and all characters have features that are shaped by the human touch of the artist.
This is a prominent style that arouses nostalgia, innocence and beauty – an experience that makes a deep emotional connection with people. Anyone who watches a Miyazaki film can immediately define the Ghibli style and are known exactly when people see themselves, even the breasts in the familiar world.
But not everyone is satisfied with this trend …
Some art lovers and creators expressed concerns and for a good reason. The consequences of the art produced by AI disturb people, but for everyone who attention, the question of whether AI will destroy artists and people’s livelihoods are not “if,” but “when”.
Your blood may be boiling, but I am already in the fifth stage of grief (accepted) and I have already given up!
So, to give yourself some joy to create studio ghibli -style images is not a problem because it will be Never be another Ghibli or Pixar. Considering what we have today and what can happen in the next 5 or 10 years, it is clear that there is no room for the next budding artist with a unique sense of creativity.
A career in any creative field is now very risky, and there is no room for a good finance when a student progresses to magnitude or when a large artist can be produced “well enough” in some of the cost.
As AI continues to progress, you must be a genius to secure work in many areas. To find a good work, there will be almost no room for an introductory or average level writers, encoder, designer, photographer, artist or model.
Currently, AI can already produce business in approximately 80% of the quality level of an average person and can do it in some of the cost. Imagine where to be in five years. Most enterprises will choose to work produced by AI, which is 7.5/10, considering the significant cost, instead of paying premiums for a version created by 10/10 people, when the difference is often indistinguishable for an average person.
Let’s think about the time and resources that started to create a single scene in a studio Ghibli. A four -second scene from The Wind Rises (2013) lasted one year and three months. Why was it deposited so much time? Because this is what defines a Ghibli film and the legacy of such a devotion studio. However, this investment level would not be spent on the next budding artist, not when AI could not give good enough results much faster and cheaper.
Again, do not focus on what we have today, think about where to be in five years. Art career will be extremely risky for the next generation, because most businesses will not pay you if there is less than the average average.
Hobbies will keep my creative spark alive, but art as a career? This is not just worth doing. No job can finance the creativity or uniqueness of an unknown artist at the expense of profit margins that AI can give good results for a small part of the cost. I do not blame businesses for this; This is just an economic issue. It is no longer a solid strategy to deposit resources to an artist in the hope that a day may be big. There may be a critique of capitalism here, but this is a completely different story.
And for those who still deny it, AI does not have to be better than a talented person; It should only be good enough to keep your customers not care about. Also, not all people are equally capable.
If you love art, whether a creative or as an audience, Studio Ghibli and embrace the last hurra and joy of his style, because in the future there will never be another wonderful artist. You may not participate, but when I work for a historical moment for art, I will create a few images since I know that things will never be the same. Even if you don’t join, someone else will do it and he won’t stop it.
This is a melancholic feeling for me because we admire the styles of human arts that have been groundbreaking for the last time.
TL; DR: Artificial intelligence is available to expand the gap between the labor class and the rich while eliminating things. Protecting big studios is now at least from our concerns. Genie cannot be put back into the bottle. After visualizing what will happen in the next five years, it is better to accept and embrace this final art celebration as you quit the next Miyazaki.
Postscript
I consider very clear criticisms and questions that may arise from this article.
“Whoever creates these things, has no idea what pain is.
I really believe that technology companies are wrong to steal their work, including Miyazaki, and it would be wrong to sensation Miyazaki’s quote non -context. He made this interpretation after watching a terrible, zombie -like creature demo with strange movements produced through AI. In 2016. He also said that Grotesque zombie movements reminded him of his disabled friends and thought it was an insult. Obviously, his comments were particularly in the context of this demo, and 9 years later he cannot be taken as his attitude in productive AI art. From now on, no explanation has been made from the studio and we don’t know what it feels about all of this. Most likely he hates AI companies stealing the style, but does he hate fans for producing personal photos because they love your style?
Shouldn’t we blame and be ashamed of using people?
As always, anger is intellectual for normal people by those who feel superior. It is easy to punch under the belt. Therefore, instead of protesting our overloords, people find it much easier to criticize and hate ordinary people.
The problem is not normal people who produce cute pictures for your own entertainment; The problem is that companies steal their efforts to educate AI and take people out of their work. The problem is when you use these works (such as Studio Ghibli, who always encourages peace) to create hate speech and political propaganda.
And no common people use the Ghibli style and claim it as their original styles. This is an inspiration and respect. If you think this is wrong, would you say the same thing if an artist gave something in a popular way as a respect? Is it an insult to make Michael Jackson a weak walk? If I sing a bad song in front of my friends, is it insulting the original singer?
Isn’t art art produced by AI? What if it is based on unique initiative?
Many people claim that a banana banded on a wall is not art, but people pay millions of money for such things. In other words, art cannot be defined by boundaries. If a digital artist uses a character in mind and uses the existing vectors and elements provided by the sketch tool to create their jobs faster, isn’t that art? If it is art, why not art if someone brings their imagination to life using AI? Both have the same result, only the technique is different. Yes, the style of art is a remix of those who came before, but does all handicrafts use their original art styles without any derivative work?
If you say that AI art is still art, why do you say that art is dead today?
Art will always exist in some way. It dies today, because it is the birth of groundbreaking art styles:
- It is no longer a good career option for most of them to watch.
- Businesses do not deposit resources to create any business (the next Miyazaki) that defines species, because it is not worth it. When the cost can be created well enough at 1/00, most businesses avoid investing in traditional styles.
“He didn’t kill pictures and did not kill traditional art”?
Yes, the photo didn’t kill the picture, but the request for the paintings is now as it was during the French Revolution? In addition, digital art did not eliminate traditional art; He gave him significantly devalu. Will people pay 10 times more for human digital art when they can do artificial intelligence art? Forget people, will businesses pay?
Will art be a more premium product?
Yes, it increases the famine value, but it will only be reserved for the best. Although hand -made clothes are now expensive, most of the workers in India are displaced by hand. The same thing will be in art and other fields. Unlike the past, high -quality work commands the upper dollar, and if the mediocre work still earns a livable fee, the future of AI’s daring will leave room for the best to maintain a career in many areas. This also means that those who imitate will no longer have a career because AI is now doing all imitations!
Can we stop this?
No, this gin does not put it back into the bottle. If a country regulates or restricts AI, another country will do it. And even if there is a scenario, there are open -source copies of several vehicles that can be carried out locally by businesses. Also, remember that businesses control governments in most parts of the world. If they want AI, they will use AI. It may be unfortunate, but there is no other way!
