What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?

These "AI turns everything into Ghibli" hype at the moment is really weird. On the one hand its fun to see, on the other hand it feels wrong. Because its only the artstyle - everything else is clearly NOT Ghibli (directing mainly, but also music etc.) which leads to an uncanny valley effect for me.
I also don't like because of this hype that AI generated Ghibli style is everywhere. It muddles the originals, decreases somehow their value for the lack of a better term? Its like having tons of cheap non-licensed merchandise, Ghibli was always relatively free of that until now.
Also these AI generated videos takes years of hard work and craftmansship for cheap videos and tiktoks. OP stated it costs 250$ and 9 hours of work which is NOTHING compared to the time and money it would cost the actual studio Ghibli to do this.

when i asked chatgpt to do it it gave me this:
I wasn't able to generate the image because this request violates our content policies. If you'd like, I can create something similar with original characters inspired by Ghibli and superhero aesthetics. Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
But then I don't go looking to see how i can break things to make a point other than RPG books/rules.

Or maybe people are just having fun creating Ghibli pictures. There doesn't have to be some ulterior motive behind it.

I wonder if you took an image and entered it if chatgpt would notice and say no or if it would create the image. I'm not even sure if this can be done in the free version.when i asked chatgpt to do it it gave me this:

Edit: Looks like it could tell an image of the 1st Avengers movie was the poster so it wouldn't do it. Not sure how it would work with stills from the movie though. Free version only allows a couple of image uploads though, I heard they'd been slammed with heaps of users converting so that might be the reason.

When I watched the clip, it seemed that Miyazaki was talking about something that was a) creepy, and b) a CGI attempt to have a computer "draw like a human", and that he opined that the creepy part was fine, but the "making a machine that can draw pictures like humans do" was his issue. Is the editing deceptive here?

He felt the janky movements of the zombies were being disrespectful towards people with Parkinson’s, which he has (had?) a friend that suffers from.
Please don't do this again.
One of my personal pet peeves is that it's so difficult to have an actual conversation about AI art that critiques the art because ~80% of the comments in every thread is just people grandstanding about AI, making it difficult to actually discuss the product. If you want to choose the alternative of derailing this thread into yet another "What Would J.R.R. Tolkien Do?" thread instead of discussing the art in the OP, I can't stop you; many threads have ended that way before, and many will again. But I am going to insist that you do it with your own thoughts and opinions, rather than inventing a (inaccurate) fantasy version of me.
