The latest frontier in AI-based image-creation is a tribute – or an affront – to a celebrated filmmaker. Users of a new version of ChatGPT have taken to ordering up images in the style of animator Hayao Miyazaki. This, after a demo for the new version of ChatGPT included images designed to mimic the style of Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli.
Tech expert Omar Gallaga says it’s unlikely the semi-retired filmmaker is pleased by the newfound AI copycats.
Highlights from this segment:
– A new version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT adds image-creation features and makes them free to all users.
– In a demo, OpenAI showed off the ability to make Miyazaki-style images, sparking the trend.
– Miyazaki said in a 2016 interview that he believes AI can be destructive. The director’s son, Gorō Miyazaki, commented recently that there is potential in AI, but that it cannot replicate the human element supplied by filmmakers.
