GHIBLI style: freedom of expression or plagiarism?

Since last weekend, the pictures created with artificial intelligence in GHibli were immersed and it seems that they do not stop.

The frenzy for its creation using the Chatgpt image generation tool caused a standard increase for Openai Chatbot users last week, which increased their servers and temporarily reduced the use of the job.

This viral trend for users all over the world dumping social networks with pictures based on the manual style of the famous Japanese studio GHibli, which was founded by the famous director Hayo Miazaki, known for films such as Shihiro trip Y My neighbor Totoro.

Even a letter was distributed, which was then determined as fabricated, as the study confirmed that the matter will take legal measures against those who have benefited from this artificial intelligence, because they violated the copyright.

But a few days ago, the video and data of Hayo Miazaki (the creative spirit of Gibli studio) appeared for the year 2016 in which he criticizes this new digital tool.

“I sincerely think it is an insult to the same life,” said NHK, in a Japanese general television documentary.

His data was a reaction to anime from a similar creature for Zombi created by artificial intelligence. She described it as “very unpleasant”.

But who announced, in an interview, Guru Miazaki, the son of Creator Red pig Y Princess MononocAnd who commented that artificial intelligence can remove work from Japanese animation artists, but nothing can replace Haya Miyazaki talent.

“The animation) were fully produced by artificial intelligence.”

The wave of viral images created by Openai Company has opened a discussion about the potential violation of copyright and the use of foreign content to develop these programs.

During a conversation conducted at the end of March in the facilities of Studio Ghibli, West Tokyo, Guru wondered whether the audience was ready to see a fully created animated bar with artificial intelligence.

Director 58 -old admitted that the new technologies provide “a strong possibility for unexpected talents.”

Japan faces qualified animation, in particular because most of them initially live with bad wage jobs for years to learn trade tricks.

Jin z and drawing

For Ibn Miazaki, the generation Z (born between the end of 1990 and early 2010), is aware of digital technologies, he can gradually refuse manual work.

Today, the world is full of opportunities to see anything, anytime and anywhere, “which makes the idea of ​​living from the material act of drawing more difficult, he said.

Guru’s father, created by the drawing, established a Gibli Studio with ISAO TAKATA in 1985, a year after the post -processing animation movie was directed Nausicaä de Valle del Viento.

After Takahata’s death in 2018, Hayao MIYAZAKI, 84, continued to make animated films with Toshio Suzuki, 76.

If these two people can no longer make animation or can no longer move, then what will happen then? Guru Miazaki asked when interrogating the future of the Gibli studio. “It is not as if it could be replaced.”

Despite his age, Hayao Miazaki won the second Academy Award in his career last year with his movie Boy and GrazaWhich is likely to be his last feature film.

The cartoons are usually for children, but Takahata and Haiao, the “generation that knew war”, included dark elements that attract adults, according to Juru Miazaki.

Not only is sweetness, but also bitterness and other things that are wonderfully intertwined at work. “This gives all the depth of this work,” “
continuous.

For young people who grew up in times of peace, “it is impossible to create something in the same sense, the same approach and the same position as my father’s generation,” he said.

On the other hand, Hayao Miazaki’s son joined Di Tirara, In 2006 and Tel BobalIn 2011.

When I was a child, Guru Miazaki loved drawing. He admits that he learned a lot to see his father and Takahata’s work, although he “did not intend to become a painter” at the height of his talent.

My mother, who was a painter, also told me not to follow this profession because it is a very difficult and demanding job, “he said.” But I always wanted to do something creative (…) and I think the director’s office suits me. “

Once Unemployed

The intense use of the Impact of GHibli has also generated doubts about potential copyright violations.

The legal panorama of the images created by artificial intelligence that mimics the distinctive Studio Ghibli style is inconceivable. Ivan Brown, the partner of the Nile and Monadivit company, said that copyright legislation has protected specific expressions in general, not technical methods.

Openai did not respond to the requests for comments on the data used to train their artificial intelligence models and the legitimacy of its last function.
