Every example is the Studio Ghibli style. Tasteless and no respect for the studio and its legacy. I don’t understand how you can do this and not feel horrible about it. But I guess not everyone cares as long as it might earn you a few dollars…

I suggest that they use the Disney style. It’s similarly popular and well known but no one will stand up to protect it since it’s a multi billion dollar company that we already know has no respect for artists or artistic legacy.

there's 4 sample pages, and the one with the cat is the only one that is not Ghibli-style. Here's some generic cartoon styles to look at: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5f/04/ef/5f04ef77ce3beb272a61...

This is so interesting - I could add some of these as options.

Nicely done, Ive always wanted something like this for my family pics. you think AI-generated art will ever feel as special as something handmade?

I mean it's pretty close. The handmade element comes from coloring it in.

And yet there’s plenty of adult coloring books made by a human out there if you’re willing to go to a brick and mortar shop. Got a super cool one from dick blicks, with a lot of underwater scenes. Also paper quality is important. I can’t imagine getting as far as I did in mine if it was newspaper

My partner makes one! Go grab a copy if you're in Australia, the wonderful POP local -- started as POP Canberra -- sells them. https://www.poplocal.com.au/product/bum-man-colouring-book/ He's 'Bum Man'. A man (actually it's asexual) who is a bum. I mean c'mon.

Looks cool, but they should show more of the pages online. All I see is the (already coloured) front cover.

This is a cool technological feat but what is the cost to humanity and its artists? Some of these replies seem rather dismissive to the artists’ plight.

Cost is nothing because this service isn't offered currently. No income lost and might spark an interest in coloring books which grows the artist's income. Artists have been around and existed in more repressive societies throughout time. The best art is usually produced from the greatest struggle. Artists will engage and create art in this new world. The cost of not providing a new surface for artists to explore is…

How does buying an AI generated coloring book lead to more sales for the artist that doesn’t offer AI generated coloring books?

They're dismissive because we've had the same moral panics before with the introduction of photography, then sound recordings, and then digital art tools, and then vector art, and then 3D, and also the Internet to an extent, and... You can see where this is going, right? In the end, humanity and even artists will be fine overall, even if the world changes.

This feels different to me. This isn’t the camera going from film to digital. This is the camera taking over the photo creation process, and developing them, and selling them. What’s the point of the human?
