If you really want to make creepy stuff, you can go ahead and do it. I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all.\u201d He concluded, \u201cI strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The video has gone viral once again as users on X, formerly Twitter, flood timelines with AI-generated Ghibli-style portraits of themselves. Many are using OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4o, the model behind the trending artwork. Even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has changed his profile picture to a Ghibli-inspired version of himself.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Miyazaki\u2019s criticism, the trend has reignited discussions around AI\u2019s role in art, especially how far machines should be allowed to interpret human emotion and creativity. While fans enjoy the novelty, critics are using Miyazaki\u2019s remarks to question the ethics and artistic value of AI-generated imagery.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As AI-generated Studio Ghibli-style artwork floods social media thanks to ChatGPT\u2019s new image-generation update, an old video of Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki has resurfaced\u2014where he calls such creations an \u201cinsult to life itself.\u201d The clip, originally aired during a Studio Ghibli presentation, features Miyazaki reacting to an animation made by artificial intelligence.
