brian merchant's take on this: https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/openais-studio-ghibli-meme-factory

not that this trend is anything new or surprising, but i just find it especially disgusting. having watched quite a few ghibli movies and also some behind the scenes movies: the people making these movies are incredible artists. and miyazaki essentially tortures himself to make these incredible works of art. and now these absolute shitheads have assimilated it into their regurgitation machine, removing all of the heart and soul and meaning in the process. because these people don't understand art, they certainly don't appreciate the work and craft behind it - they actively mock artists because they think they're just replaceable. what a fucking corporate hellscape this world has turned into.
