So, I found this pic from @quicksiluers which I reposted from @dragoons-and-cookies:

And then, last night I went to ChatGPT, so here it is the Ghibli version:

Well, Robert's moustache looks different in second picture, but yeah, it's still Robert Gould Shaw.

(1st and 2nd Forbes looks different as well (?))

Ghiblify: Art Trend or Data trap?

The internet is buzzing over the Ghibli Pics trend—where any photo transforms into a dreamy, anime-style image—so the question is: Is it safe to upload our pictures to these platforms?

Millions have already used platforms like Chatgpt to create Ghibli-style portraits, flooding social media with transformed profile photos. But this trend raises a key question: How safe are these platforms—and can settings help prevent data leaks Read more.

This is what your AI tool looks like to me

Sure, I have all the normal concerns with AI. I don't think it's going to take over the world and kill humans, but I do think it's going to cause a lot of misinformation; I know it's stealing data and art that was a hard-won labor of love; and I see it taking jobs, not because it can do them, but because execs believe it can. I could go on, but I won't because that's not what I'm here for.

I think what really gets me about the ✨ AI revolution ✨ or whatever is that ideologically, it's everything I stand against. It's consumption without scruples or restraints. It's theft in the name of business, except they aren't even trying to hide it anymore. It's ruin in the name of profit, but on steroids. They're burning the world for a ghiblified meme and a quick buck. It's practice without theory. The frenzy, the craze, makes me sick to my stomach; and it can't be stopped. No laws protect you from having everything stolen from you, chopped up like mincemeat and spat back out as the inelegant vomit of a mass of wires calling itself an "intelligence." No laws protect you from being fired by your employer in favor of a little word salad program doing your job half as well as you but twice as fast. No laws protect all the water they're contaminating to keep their facilities cool, or the rainforests they'll burn without a second thought to keep their shareholders happy. No laws will protect any of us for years, because the people violating our privacy and planet are also the ones with the money in hand. While guys in Lululemon hoodies are swapping fat wads of cash and bitcoin, wheeling and dealing to get access to everything that's ever been private on your phone, you can't even afford to buy eggs, and your job is on the rocks because your boss thinks a computer could do it for a fraction of the cost of putting food on your table. They're telling you you need to enthusiastically embrace the future, but they aren't handing you a future you can be excited about.

I know that the nature of work in capitalism is that many people will eventually have to do something in the name of their job that betrays their values. I am ready for that. I understand it. But this... This might be too far for me. I have tried. For the sake of my job I've tried to shut up and be ok with it on the clock. But it makes me sick to my stomach, the way all unbridled greed makes me sick these days. Watching people fight over luxuries and take more than their fair share and stuff... It makes me want to throw up. And it's the same. Exactly the same. I don't know what to do. What do they want from me at this point

this AI ghibli trend is going to condition me into having a strong initial knee-jerk negative reaction to seeing Any ghibli-style art until I can be sure an actual human being drew it

[mojonder]

Seeing an AI tool advertising itself off of how well it replicates Ghiblis style blowing up and being used by thousands has just been depressing. Hayao miyazaki should personally behead each and every single one of you

i had a friend tell me once that i'm like smart to have a grasp on climate change and personal effect on that etc whatever in relation to generative ai and like. well no i think i just care lol i don't think you have to be smart to care. if somebody tells me that something is bad for the environment in a very tangible way and i can very easily live without that thing, then i'm not going to use it.

Been watching a LOTTA ghibli films while I babysit my nephew and my brain kinda went off and was like ghiblify Shadow and Maria and I started brainstorming a slice of life sort of au where in the 1990s Gerlad is a mad scientist working to cure Maria of her NIDS and he accidentally creates a powerful ass lil unstable hedgehog who becomes Shadow.

Probs doodle a bit more of it when I figure more stuff out but I love doodling in the ghibli style, think imma call this au 'My brother, the hedgehog'

There's probably something to dig into about how 90% of the backlash to the the new 'studio ghiblify your photos' thing chatGPT can do treats the entire artistic and creative output of the studio as being synonymous with and the moral property of one specific guy.
