AI makes it easy for an idea/style to go viral (e.g. Ghiblification) in the same way the internet made it easy for content to go viral. 

Authorship and provenance become infinitely more important. The potential impact of your work is uncapped. 

Golden Age for creatives.

Is this true? Or if you come up with a genuinely unique new art style, will the machine not have internalized it, thus making it impossible for others to recreate quickly?

OTOH if you mean inventing some novel AI style that others can replicate with a prompt, can you tell me again who "invented" the chessboard aesthetic that was trending about a year ago? 

I think this is more like "15 minutes of fame-ification" for creatives

the machine will be able to replicate things quickly. it’s only getting better. 

so yes, i do mean the latter, and i think my point is that authorship will become *more* important and people will seek out provenance because they want to understand the source (because we are human and want to understand the humans behind the work we consume)

I'd agree to disagree and say that most people who are finding fun in the studio ghibli style transfer probably dgaf about going any deeper than "nice image, I like it"

Perhaps temporarily, superficially. I’d be happy to be wrong. I fear that for many “studio ghibli” is just a word you type in to get a certain art style without even acknowledging that there’s an entire actual studio behind it

i agree, but don’t you think the absolute interest and attention on ghibli and its creator will rise dramatically after this?
