Since OpenAI introduced a feature to turn pictures into 'Ghibli Art', it has gone viral on social media. Yet, this has sparked a wave of criticism from artists worldwide.
The Popularity of Ghibli Art by OpenAI
OpenAI's ChatGPT feature that allows for creating personalized 'Ghibli Art' images has gained immense popularity. People around the globe have been sharing their moments turned into anime art across social media platforms.
Criticism of AI Technologies in Art
However, many artists express dissatisfaction with this feature, claiming that AI tools undermine years of human effort. Legendary animator and Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki has disapproved, stating that 'it is an insult to life' regarding AI-made animations.
Copyright and Artists' Implications
Beyond aesthetic criticism, OpenAI is facing lawsuits over copyright violations. Artists claim their works are used to train AI models without proper compensation, despite the 'fair use' policy. An 'AI Art' auction in New York sparked protests from thousands of artists deeming it theft.
The question of AI's role in art remains controversial, straddling between innovation and tradition disruption. Time will tell how these developments impact the industry.
