Hi HN,

I’ve developed a web app that lets you turn static Ghibli-style images into animated videos. It uses AI to create smooth, dynamic animations from your uploads. I will also add Ghibli-style images generation abilities in the app soon. I’d love to hear your feedback and see what you create with it :)

Check it out at https://image2video.app/.

My feedback is that you should delete this and do something worthwhile rather than help propagate more machine-generated filth.

I think that should be a place in the hell for people creating this stuff and thinking that is a good thing.

Please don’t develop this.

Can someone fill me in on why the comments so far are highly critical? Is it the art style (looks familiar but don’t know much about it) or just the genAI aspect that people are tired of?

No, thank you. I'd rather have real artists create real art :)

Not sure if you're trolling, but there's a huge debate over exactly this kind of thing... e.g. see https://www.vox.com/artificial-intelligence/408786/ai-art-st...

I’m not trolling, so it’s a copyright thing for the art style. From the comments it seemed to be something worse. Makes sense, thanks.

It’s not just copyright, it’s the respect for the artist behind the style itself.

Don’t boil it down to just corporate/legalese. What you’re seeing is a human reaction.

I wasn’t trying to reduce it, someone called it “filth” and someone else said they’d go to hell and so I wondered if it was something to do with an art style normally associated with prohibited material or something like that.
