Ghibli Fans Reject AI Art Amidst Controversy - OpenAI's new image-generation feature sparked controversy when users created images resembling Studio Ghibli's style. Studio Ghibli and its creator, Hayao Miyazaki, known for disdaining AI art, have not commented, but the fan subreddit enforces a strict AI art ban. Fans argue these AI models exploit copyrighted content without permission.
This controversy contributes to the broader debates on AI's unauthorized use of creative works. It echoes lawsuits, such as those from The New York Times against OpenAI, over similar issues.
