It does not lack a certain irony that people around the world use the GPT 4O model of Openai to make pictures in the style of the legendary Japanese animated filmmaker and filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki to create. Throughout his career, Hayao Miyazaki has campaigned for the values of humanism, the careful artistry and inviolability of nature towards the horrors of the exploitative industry. Neither he nor Studio Ghibli, the animation studio he founded in Tokyo, have publicly commented on the meme trend. The company also has a request from Rolling Stone not answered immediately. The fans are in turmoil.
“It was 24 hours ago that Openaai with 4o unexpectedly shaken the world of AI pictures”, wrote a Columnist of a tech newsletter in an X-Post on Wednesday. And referred to the company’s new, paid text-to-image model from the Silicon Valley, which is only about the paid version of Chatt is available. It costs $ 20 per month. As an example of what 4o can do, he announced so-called “studio ghibli-style memes”. This means that recognizable memes such as “Distracted Boyfriend” and “Disaster Girl”, which were rendered as anime -like illustrations. And the classic like a little bit of Miyazaki like “Spirited Away” and “Howl’s Moving Castle” remember.
While some were impressed, many of the reactions were brutal. “I have the beautiful 4K-IMAX version of Princess Mononoke seen. Then I went out and saw this crap ”, wrote a Critics and called a Miyazaki film from 1997, which is currently running in a limited cinema performance. And certainly has a lot to say about the environmental degradation through technology.
“Only a filter for your profile picture”
“Your idiot art really appreciates so little that she is only a filter for your profile picture? Pays a damn artist. Makes something real, her goblin.” Another complained: ‘People pretend that it was a good thing. But the soul was sucked out to society. We are really at the climax. Nothing is really important anymore. ‘ A third critic simply replied: “I hope Studio Ghibli sued everyone involved.”
In fact, the question of copyright became an urgent concern as soon as Chatgpt subscribers began to produce the content inspired by Ghibli and to filter their own photos by the aesthetics. Openai CEO Sam Altman Fired the hype himself by changing his X profile image to a Ghibli version of itself. He joked, Hundreds of news from people who had sent him similar pictures.
And yet the company had introduced a protective measure by Wednesday evening that made it difficult to generate such content. “We have added a rejection that is triggered when a user tries to create a picture in the style of a living artist,” said Openai in an explanation. Although a speaker opposite Business Insider said that 4O was still able to imitate ‘wider studiostile’.
Of course, it was not difficult for Chatgpt enthusiasts to find input requests that created the Ghibli-Memes without using the name of the studio. Another problem is that users were able to create ghibli-like images that show bad things. September 11th, the murder of President John F. Kennedy and domestic terrorists Ted Kaczynski, the “Unorganizer”.
“Whoever creates this stuff has no idea what pain is”
The 84-year-old Miyazaki is undoubtedly a living artist. And it is not difficult to guess what he would think of “40”. He is known for his intensive, perfectionist work on hand -drawn pictures and already a figure of existing memes. In a documentary about his career from 2016, he visits a team that shows him a demo of her AI-generated computer animation of a distorted zombie figure. Miyazaki expressed his devastary contempt calmly. “Whoever creates this stuff has no idea what pain is”, he said. “I am deeply disgusted. If you want to do really creepy things, you can do that. I would never want to incorporate this technology into my work. I firmly believe that this is an insult to life itself.” He also noticed: “We humans lose faith in ourselves.” Screenshots of the devastating exchange and Miyazaki’s final judgment have since been distributed on social media.
There is an insightful indicator of who is interested in producing with Chatgpt Ki waste. On Thursday, the government’s X account mocked the government White house the deportation of a suspected fentanyl dealer by the Immigration and customs authority At the beginning of the month by Crying ghibli figure represented. Which is arrested by an official.
Meanwhile, Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador and self -proclaimed “Coolest dictator of the World ” – the in the second term of President Donald Trump Migrants from the USA were deported in the country’s notorious “Mega prison” of the country, Cecot-a Ghibli version of itself divided on x. Among other things, the writer and critic Gareth Watkins convincingly argued that Ki “”The new aesthetics of fascism“Offers. Which right -wing extremists are often used for lightning -fast propaganda.
“Call me a fun brake or whatever”
But this time the counter reaction itself was violent on the apolitical content. “Call me a fun brake or whatever. But Hayao Miyazaki has not spent his whole life cultivating an unmistakable artistic identity so that AI reduces his discipline and integrity into meme food for decades”, ” wrote a X-user. “It is a shame how easy you give all your principles. Only to feel belonging to you.” Someone else went into the topic even more clearly. He replied to a person who had created a famous photo of Trump, the former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other G7 leaders in the GHIBLI-style from 2018. ‘Hayao Miyazaki should start killing people. In my opinion. ‘ The Contribution was liked more than 270,000 times.
On Thursday, Altman admitted that the 4o madness is burdening the Openai resources. And noticed on X: “It is super fun to see how people love pictures in Chatgpt. But our GPUs melting. We will temporarily introduce some installments. While we are working on making it more efficient. Hopefully it won’t take long!” He also announced that the free version of Chatgpt would soon enable up to three generations of pictures per day. The day before, he seemed to defend the use of AI technology for this purpose. He posted: “The one was eaten by the other treasure.” “Says the Big Slop CEO”, replied A film artist and illustrator.
