good ... Maybe it will reduce the neoluddite spam if you take out the bad actors in the situation. He is going to get brains all over the reasonable person though...

It's a good read, but I'm not sure if it's a good take. This seems very emotionally-driven and not really logical. Someone could make low quality Ghibli style images by hand in large quantities. Is that just as bad?

Evidently they didn't do it, though, so AI does fundamentally change the issue. AI is both cheaper and faster than human content creators once your model is trained (the energy use might be an externalized cost, though) and so far it is also a lot harder to sue.

I had my brother do this to me yesterday. My hate for those vampires grow more and more everyday.

Honestly I think whatever this Ghibli trend is about, it's just good advertisting for the real Studio Ghibli.

The comic's creator, whose OC is on the left, cares about art and finds the AI generated Ghibli fakes to be soul-less and a net negative to the world. It makes him want to kill himself.

Kill himself, but also killing the person who used the soulless machine to ape that iconic art style.

Hes killing them through himself. He wants to exact both vengeance and to cease to be at the same time.

Which is really reprehensible, because if you're going to kill someone, you need to look them in the eye as you dart past the swing of their knife and plunge your own into their chest behind the truck stop where my greyhound was refueling on that rainy night in 1991

... when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell?

[โ€“] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

No, it was when that guy's idiot son Roger first got beat with jumper cables.

[โ€“] Holistic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yea. Just realized he's about to off both of them.

AI starts looking more like a fashion industry than a technology product, the trends are repeating. Last time style transfer was popular was 10 years ago.

Is he back to making comics for buzzfeed?

His redemption arc has been pretty good

God forbid someone do something harmless that brings them an iota of joy.

[โ€“] yunxiaoli@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago (8 children)

From the environmental impact, to the social impact to the personal impact absolutely no part of it is harmless.

God forbid somebody thinks it's cringe and makes a joke about it.
