That would at least be a step in the right direction.

There’s a video of Miyazaki reacting to some experimental AI generated 3D character animations from some years ago where he says that the use of AI is an “insult to life itself”

I’d rather live in a world where the concept of “copyright” doesn’t exist at all. Unfortunately we don’t live in that world and art can be exchanged for money. As such, let’s stick to trying to keep people from starving rather than pretending this is fine because the concept of capitalism is inherently broken, mkay?

I think it’s more nuanced than that. Copyright is just the only hammer available at the moment.

We should have some laws around media integrity, creative dignity, labor rights, etc. that we could use to fight back against the problematic parts of the AI empire without creating new problems for consumers, creators, and even the useful parts of AI.

But, for obvious reasons, lawmakers haven’t been as interested in protecting the arts as they have been in protecting legal monopolies.

Thanks I don’t know if I hate this or the original more
