Somoguy [ChilledCow channel] launched a call for projects, which was won by a student from the Émile Cohl School, Juan Pablo Machado: “He wanted to reproduce the same studious action and style as Studio Ghibli,” he explained in an interview with ARTE (photo). “I took the images he had referenced in his call for projects and started drawing.” Rather than imagining a series of characters on paper, as he usually did, he began his creation directly on a graphics tablet and computer to save time: “I worked mostly at night, because I was at school during the day. I took all the elements I had around me at the time: the books you see on the desk, the lamp…”
He also imagined different backgrounds depending on the time of day: "In the very first image, I had a black background with rain. For the daytime version, I decided to set the character in the city where I studied, Lyon. I loved this city. I took a lot of images of the Croix-Rousse district from Google and designed my background from photo collages of buildings.
Well that’s the end of them, if social media has taught me anything it’s that copying anybody else’s style is completely taboo and anyone who does it is evil and deserves nothing but ridicule.
e: social media sure doesn’t like looking in the mirror
I wasn’t talking about Miyazaki, I was talking about the social media uproar from the anti-AI crowd that quoted him out of context and used that to imply that he supported their position.
Here’s the video that contains the actual quote and context:
His comment wasn’t about generative AI “stealing” his art style, he said that wouldn’t use it in his works because it had no soul and didn’t know what it was to be human and, for his art, that is important.
“stealing art for my/my favorite techbro’s computer project should be legal and since it’s not yet, I’ll go around completely misrepresenting arguments in order to make them seem like they are the ones who are out-of-touch”

then you got the wrong message about what Miyazaki tried to tell the AI Bros.

You forgot lemmy is a social medium too - the same crowd here, I’m afraid.
I like to say Lemmy is an asocial medium, since the accounts are anonymous, so we have no idea who we’re talking to.
…
Wait. Shit. It’s you.
That’s why I chose my name, so people know who they’re talking to.
Hello, little brother.
Social Media - The Easily Influencables and The Bots That Control Them.
Cry harder, fkn AI bro.
It’s just a weird thing to comment about since its been known and used as a mascot since like 2017
“stealing art for my/my favorite techbro’s computer project should be legal and since it’s not yet, I’ll go around completely misrepresenting arguments in order to make them seem like they are the ones who are out-of-touch”
Look at how clever we are
You’re right, you clearly don’t have anything of substance to say.

It’s important to learn from the best.
