There’s nothing unique about Studio Ghibli in OpenAI’s new image generator. They didn’t “turn on Ghibli” while keeping all other artistic styles off-limits. A spokesperson wrote, “We continue to prevent generations in the style of individual living artists, but we do permit broader studio styles.” For instance here’s a raccoon in the style of HR Giger.

Again, this doesn’t make any of this OK, but this isn’t a deliberate, targeted attack against Miyazaki’s for his harsh words against AI.
