The Western world caught copy-steal fever.
It wasn't just the Chinese and Indians who stole and copied every bit of IP and creative output that wasn't nailed down. With wanton glee, under the guise of delightful remixing, and/or cred jacking and the-kids-gotta-eat.
I get it that Studio Ghibli is much beloved all over the world, but they are not a behemoth IP shop on the order of Disney, or Marvel (maybe it seems that way?).
Remixes have a long, long history in art and music. In the more reputable parts of punk art, streetwear, jazz, and hiphop, practitioners pay due respect to those by whom they were inspired.

I express my "bad-takes" strongly, but in reality am more sanguine.
Coltrane can imitate Charlie Parker, and pay tribute by exploring new artistic paths built on top of the trails laid down by his predecessors.
Picasso can steal as a great artist, rather than copy.
Newton can stand on the shoulders of giants, and see farther.
I want GPT to empower today's Newtons, Picassos, and Coltranes. As a side effect, to expand the reach of artists I love. And as a human experience, to be fun for personal expression and exploration.
Am not cool with the majority of the images being shared, which have the tone of "look at meee and my cleverness. I have not earned an artistic pov (yet). Nor am I expressing a deep admiration of the existing literature. Rather, I mine this toy for maxxx engagement and will stop sharing this, my art form, after you stop giving outsized attention to it and things like it" 0 reply
