shit ton of people are repeating the thing about hayao miyazaki saying AI art is an "insult to life itself" and just as a reminder he was talking about the zombies that team made that were intended to be scary in how much they shook, but instead reminded him of his disabled friend. the insult to life itself was referring to the team trying to make scary real symptoms that people live with.
it was a quote about ableism. if he has said other things about AI type stuff, that is a different thing. but that specific quote was about ableism.
this is the full quote.
It's worth noting also that while this has been doing the rounds again recently, he said it well before the current plague of generative AI slop was upon us. The clip is from a 2016 TV documentary. The specific bit of animation he was reacting to was a demo of the computer animating a ragdoll-like model body to try to find ways to move it forwards. While a living creature will normally try to avoid injuring itself as it moves, the computer algorithm had no such inhibition and so the virtual ragdoll would flail around and drag its face across the ground. The team working with it thought it would be a good way to animate creatures like zombies for horror movies because it was so inhuman and bizarre. Miyazaki was reacting to the inhumanity of it, and the fact they thought it was clever to create something so grotesque with no greater point to it than "Isn't this gross and weird?" I'm sure it was a painful criticism to receive, especially if they were all excited to show animation legend Hayao Miyazaki what they were working on, but I think he gave them something really important to think about.
I can scarcely imagine what he'd have to say about the lifeless plagiarism machine that is gen AI.
#hayao miyazaki#ai#the point is AI is so easy to access that it actively ENCOURAGES creating upsetting stuff with no purpose#just for funsies because haha look at this#it took me 3 seconds to unintentionally generate this concentrate of pure eldritch horror#and i have no idea what it means! or what i want to communicate with it! or what human experience it's referencing to!#or which human fear I want to evoke with it!#it's pictures completely devoid of human experience - nobody sat dozens of hours working at that scary monster#having to look into it until it creeps into your own soul#nah just a couple prompts and haha there you go#and this is why AI is so uncanny and spiritually dead#it's art with no relationship to humans; not even with their *maker*

i find it rather ironic how people are reducing the adolescence mini series to "was jamie a sociopath" and "did katie bully jamie", when the whole point of the show is how the manosphere and the alt-right pipeline is so violent and omnipresent on social medias that a 13 year-old boy who loved to draw and learn about the industrial revolution ends up thinking that women are worthless pieces of meat and that he's "one of the good ones" because he didn't rape katie, he just stabbed her to death.
#yep#also pretty horrifying imo that the takeaway on here is โsee? males are genetically predisposed to be violent agnst women even as childrenโ#and โi dont care he's 13 he did what he did idc about context or upbringing he's irredeemable and deserves to rotโ#which part of: an insidious pervasive alt culture forged him to think like that by preying on his insecurities#went over y'all heads exactly#โno he's not a victimโ yes HE IS. everyone loses in the show#he is 13 and ruined his life because he's immersed in an echo chamber that reinforced the worst instincts in him#I'm sorry but boy children will keep being born so we have to deal with is as a society by preventing rather than punishing#adolescence
