How’s it going my fellow human? Circling around an idea about The Boy and the Heron piece.
Might have to push that perspective and make it so the characters have a bigger presence like in that last digital sketch.

Not sure about the cranes pose either. I want something distinct

Every time I see a #Ghibli AI picture, my heart dies a little. Every time an image is made, we are all impoverished a tiny bit. A small shred of respect is lost for an old man and his crew toiling months at a time on seconds of animation, to tell stories of beauty, empathy, and humanity, a man who loathed #AI from its earliest days as an affront to life itself.

Every time a cartoon facsimile is generated and used for a lark, a token bit of our common heritage is stolen, ground up, repackaged, and regurgitated like so much chewing gum, boiling gallons of water and spewing carbon to entertain someone for a moment with images as vapid and forgettable as the next.

Every time I see one of those images, I scroll past and shake my head a little.

You know, I'm never one to utter the sentence, "Art is ________," much less finish it, because art is a billion different things to a billion different ppl, but the following statement from Maria Mouschoutzi, PhD, really does speak to me.

“Art shouldn’t be driven by effectiveness; it should be driven by expression.”

"Corpora.AI is a tool that helps professionals research by “creating precise, distilled insights from the breadth and depth of global content.” As the company’s CEO and an expert in the AI field, Morris is well-aware of the financial toll such tools take on companies… and who really profits from them.

“They launched this type of service and no matter who you are, it’s fun to play with,” Morris began. “You see people creating images just for the fun of it. They share it with their friends. Everyone gathers around at their desk and they all think that’s a funny way to look at this person with a nice avatar that’s been created, or a real looking person but it’s based on them, and so it’s fun.

“There’s a hype factor that gathers momentum very quickly. I had a phone conversation just last night about this and someone said, ‘Yeah, these guys are burning through GPUs doing this. Literally, they’re burning through GPUs, they’re almost catching fire.’ They’re having to run that hard to do it, and that’s taking away the capacity,” he explained.

“The same sort of models that we’re running for doing GPT and those sorts of things running on the same hardware and probably in the same cloud-based server form. So, all of a sudden now we’re putting another demand on the GPUs.”"

Dexerto · AI CEO claims ChatGPT is “burning” through a fortune because of Ghibli trend - DexertoIn late March 2025, social media became inundated with a viral new trend thanks to ChatGPT’s image generator going public for all users, which took the internet by storm almost immediately. Folks flocked to the AI with requests to recreate photos of themselves as Studio Ghibli characters in a fad that was impossible to avoid...

Ben natuurlijk weer quasi de enige die hier kritiek op heeft… (fok AI en die debiele #Ghibli nabootsing hype 😣)

“Ik zou deze technologie nooit in mijn werk willen opnemen,” voegde Miyazaki toe. "Ik voel sterk dat dit een belediging is voor het leven zelf."

Later in de clip zei #Miyazaki over het doel om een machine te maken die "tekeningen maakt zoals mensen dat doen": “Ik heb het gevoel dat we het einde van de tijden naderen. Wij mensen verliezen het geloof in onszelf.”

🪷 The world’s first #Ghibli #Antinous! A message from priest Decus Lupercus, of Brazil, who created this Ghibli-style portrait: "This is the only ancient Antinous' bust in South America, our own Antinous-Bacchus from Rio de Janeiro. And this is He, our Golden Boy, Deus Amoris, brought to life by AI. If the pale marble concealed his youthful angst, the ghibli-style rendition is crystal clear. And, to all of us who comune with Him, His message is loud as a thunder. Can you hear it?" 🪷

30 anni prima che la nostra premier scoprisse che gli antichi alleati si erano riciclati nell'animazione, lo studio #Ghibli produceva questo (unico) #video musicale ジブリ実験劇場 On Your Mark - Chage & Aska (1995) on Vimeo vimeo.com/394801904 #music
