The recent move by OpenAI to allow users to recreate images in the iconic style of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli has stirred up a controversy. And rightly so.
The recent viral trend of generating Studio Ghibli-style images through AI is not just a plaything to revel in; it's profoundly disrespect to the art of creation itself, and the care and love poured into art by its creators.
Art is not a mathematical equation to be solved, but a deeply human expression of emotion, struggle, and imagination. When we allow AI to replicate the distinctive styles of master artists like Miyazaki, we're not celebrating creativity—we're commodifying it. Every paintbrush stroke, every carefully drawn frame represents hours of human passion, cultural understanding, and personal journey.
Artists don't just create images. They create windows into different worlds, different perspectives. An algorithm might generate a beautiful picture, but it cannot capture the soul behind the art.
Protect artistic integrity. Celebrate human creativity. Reject the notion that art can be reduced to computational patterns.
Art is human. Keep it that way.
