Seems you completely miss the point of Miyazaki's work. You can watch a video of Miyazaki watching an AI generated animation and see what he think about generative "art"[1].

That video you linked was hilarious. Oh how I wish more people would have Miyazaki’s way of thinking.

I don’t mean that they should necessarily have his exact same opinions on things. I mean that they should think through things and approach them in the same process and manner that Miyazaki does.

I hope fewer people evaluate animation techniques like Miyazaki did in that presentation. Likening a fantasy zombie character's movement to a disabled person and calling it an affront to life itself validates the exact look and feel the animation team was going for. Though he posits this as a negative for no logical reason that is offered.

This is dramatic of me to say, but I can sincerely claim that anyone in my division that pulled something like this would be demoted or let go. If for nothing else than evaluating a technical product using and only using emotional language.

Yeah, wouldn't want emotions to get in the way of... movies and TV people connect emotionally to for their entire lives...

[GuinansEyebrows]

in the world of art, people who care more about technical product rather than emotion tend to make disposable art that does not resonate across generations

I like what Miyazaki did, but I don't think his way of thinking is the one true way. Sure, generative zombies have no place in his idealized past, but they have places in other film and media. I think Miyazaki was wrong in his judgement.
