My feedback is that you should delete this and do something worthwhile rather than help propagate more machine-generated filth.

I think that should be a place in the hell for people creating this stuff and thinking that is a good thing.

Can someone fill me in on why the comments so far are highly critical? Is it the art style (looks familiar but don’t know much about it) or just the genAI aspect that people are tired of?

Not sure if you're trolling, but there's a huge debate over exactly this kind of thing... e.g. see https://www.vox.com/artificial-intelligence/408786/ai-art-st...

I’m not trolling, so it’s a copyright thing for the art style. From the comments it seemed to be something worse. Makes sense, thanks.

It’s not just copyright, it’s the respect for the artist behind the style itself.

Don’t boil it down to just corporate/legalese. What you’re seeing is a human reaction.

I wasn’t trying to reduce it, someone called it “filth” and someone else said they’d go to hell and so I wondered if it was something to do with an art style normally associated with prohibited material or something like that.

Artists should be able to opt-out so the debate can be resolved. AFAIK they can.

Also, Ghibli will likely benefit from the huge amount of publicity they've had with the AI image gen rush. It's the artists/studios that don't get named that would likely complain.

No, thank you. I'd rather have real artists create real art :)
