Not suprised, Miyazaki's art is deeply concerned with what it means to be human, and the beauty to be found there.
The art style is an superficial aesthetic of that beauty, not the heart of it.
And none of that heart is in ai generated images. They're souless immitations that ape the substance of his works without having any. Like how hallmark pretends to depict "love" with paper thin characters and sanitizes it of any real substance or meaning
It's striking isn't it how the debate around generative AI is essentially drawn along the line that separates good taste from bad. To win the debate we're going to need really good art.
I think the show Arcane is one of the best examples of commercially released art in recent decades; interestingly, what happened is people actually accused it of using AI where there was none. Also Variety et al did a whole round of balking that anyone would invest in something so frivolous as serious animation for adults
There's always gonna be Capitalists who try and commodify art, but fundamentally humans are the the only ones who can make NEW insights that resonate with people RIGHT NOW. If AI IS ever able to observe the world and reflect on it and offer something new, in the way humans are, it would still be from their own perspective, not ours.
