Making Studio Ghibli style art using A.I.

A.I. can Never Replace Ghibli

(Source: Yahoo!News) Hayao Miyazaki is revered as a living legend, a figure whose influence rivals Walt Disney himself. Since Miyazaki cofounded Studio Ghibli nearly four decades ago, the animation house has released some of the most popular anime films ever made, including 2023’s Oscar-winning animated feature The Boy and the Heron.

The painstakingly crafted, hand-drawn Ghibli style is beloved by fans, and earlier this week, it was co-opted by the GPT-4o model in OpenAI's image generator. This resulted in a flood of Ghibli-inspired AI memes across social media, as well as pushback by anti-AI activists and ardent fans of Miyazaki and his studio.
