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...

Artists should be able to opt-out so the debate can be resolved. AFAIK they can.

Also, Ghibli will likely benefit from the huge amount of publicity they've had with the AI image gen rush. It's the artists/studios that don't get named that would likely complain.

Benefit how?

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.
