#152Every 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…
Style has been copied since time immemorial and was never copyrightable. I think it's better to be the studio everyone copies in their AI slop than the studio nobody copies in terms of publicity, sales and cultural impact. And the mass copying by a handful of models in a reasonably consistent way together with everyone talking about it is probably better for the studio than flesh and blood artists here and there copying it not so consistently / competently without the buzz attributing the style to the studio

My reading of the policy is that if the real person is above the age of 18 then they can consent to the editing of images which depict themselves under the age of 18. So I could upload and edit a childhood photo of myself because I am a real person above the age of 18 and I am the person "contained" in the image. But I couldn't do the same for my niece who is a real person under the age of 18.

OP confirmed that their prompt includes a directive for Ghiblification. Given that Miyazaki is known to hate GenAI I really can't condone... I mean there's nothing anyone can do about it but it's just kind of sad.
> Given that Miyazaki is known to hate GenAI I really can't condone Not that I wouldn't similarly expect it from Miyazaki in terms of general generative art but the actual source of all the articles/memes about his quote point to a 2016 video where he's being demo'd a disturbing 3D simulation of an oily looking human figure crawling on the ground by its head while the dev explains to Miyazaki and others that 'it feel…
Hm! Thanks for the fact check. I really do want to know what Miyazaki actually thinks of the Ghiblification thing at present.

Most people never heard of Studio Ghibli and their style. They just like how it looks. Whey you have only one such book at home it's not annoying.
As for the project: it's nice and easy, likely will be replicated soon.

In fairness no artists are advertising a personal coloring book. The time, effort and cost would put this out of reach for 99.99 of people. No artists are losing income because of this and no industry is being upended. This is a new product that's available because of a technology advanced. Why the focus the artist? Everytime you order in food online you take away a tip from a host, server, bartender and take away a…
The food you order online was not stolen from the server/bartender without their permission or compensation. Even if the analogy holds, this is whataboutism, and in the U.S. at least tipping is a fucked system too.
You’re right that the food itself wasn’t stolen, but how many restaurants actually come up with their own recipes? And how many use recipes created by master chefs that were ‘stolen’ and used by others?
This is how art works and has always worked. Artist should be using the same AI tools that the general public use but create things that the general public cannot. That’s what artists have always done.
