Hayao Miyazaki, one of the four founders of Studio Ghibli, as well as one of the biggest artists in the Japanese and world animation industry, has returned to talk about the integration of artificial intelligence in the production of an animated series or film. That’s what the great master said in a presentation that took place in the studio.
Miyazaki had pointed out how in the past Use AI to create animations was completely at odds with his own conception of art. Using an external element that cannot think and elaborate artistic objects as a real human being can instead goes against his philosophy. Studio Ghibli has recently approached the world of CGwith Earwig and the Witch, and this move had already sparked controversy, but in the video you can see at the bottom of the page, Miyazaki seems adamant about using AI in his works.
“I can’t look at the thing and find it interestingSo Miyazaki commented in front of his collaborators and the presentation of an AI that could certainly save valuable man hours, but at the same time could create something anonymous. “I would never incorporate such technology into my work. I am absolutely disgusted‘ the Master continued, then emphasizing that what he saw was an ‘insult to life itself’.
Definitely heavy words, also considering Miyazaki’s importance on the world scene and in the Japanese animation industry. And what do you think? Tell us in the comments. Finally, we remind you that Zen – Grogu and Dust Bunnies is available on Disney+, a Star Wars short film born from it Collaboration between Studio Ghibli and Lucasfilm.
