My ★★★★½ review of Grave of the Fireflies (1988) on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/9o1GKv
“Le studio Ghibli n’a toutefois pas été consulté, crédité ni rémunéré pour cette utilisation. De quoi relancer la question des droits d’auteur relative à l’IA générative ; celles-ci étant nourries de créations d’origine humaine, qu’elles sont entraînées à imiter pour en produire de nouvelles versions. Le tout sans rémunérer ni créditer les artistes concernés.”

Deutschlandfunk's program "Corso - Kunst und Pop" interviewed me two weeks ago, in German, on the current trend of AI-generated memes in Studio Ghibli's visual style
In a nutshell, I said that neither AI-generated fake Studio Ghibli images are new (they could be created, for example, with third-party Stable Diffusion LoRAs for about two years), nor the use of algorithms and generative AI in animation (for example, for drawing backgrounds and in-between frames) - but that we're simply seeing the convergence of trolling, meme culture and manipulated political propaganda images [that already existed in early 20th century fascism and Stalinism] where the main function of AI image generators is to simplify, deskill and industrially accelerate meme generation.

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 full of beauty, empathy, and humanity, a man who loathed #AI from its earliest days as an affront to life itself.
Every time I see a cartoon facsimile 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.”
Pensée du jour :
Pendant qu'#OpenAI fait fondre ses #datacenters et notre planète à coups de piratage/parasitage du studio #Ghibli, #Trump fait fondre l'ensemble du #commerce internationale et des #bourses mondiales.
Vive l'#Amérique, et vive les #EtatsUnis !

My ★★★★½ review of Spirited Away (2001) on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/9kRZS7
"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.”"
#Ghibli #Hoffnungen
Das Beste, was aus der KI-Sache rund um Ghibli werden kann, ist, dass sich Menschen irgendwann doch die Frage stellen, was eigentlich echte Originalität in einem künstlerischen Schaffensprozess bedeutet. Und vielleicht schaut man doch lieber nochmal die alten Filme oder versucht sich selbst am Zeichenbrett anstatt das von der KI zusammenfabrizierte und zudem urheberrechtlich problematische Stückwerk weiterzuverbreiten.
