New banner & featured artwork by Studio Ghibli ✨ 

Hayao Miyazaki and the impact he and Studio Ghibli have had on the world over the years is truly unprecedented. Though not without controversy, GPT's new image model has led to the "Ghiblification" of the internet today

While Miyazaki has been quoted speaking against AI and computers in general, I find it hard to believe that this phenomenon we're witnessing is a net-negative

To me, it's a testament to the resonance he and his team have created, an iconic aesthetic and series of films imbued with rich nostalgia, beauty, child-like wonder and memories of first-watches. If you haven't watched any of his films yet, I highly recommend you fix that

If you've gotten this far, share your favorite below — and if you don't have access to the new GPT and would like a "Ghiblified" PFP, let me know!

I would never tell anyone how they should feel and I don't think anyone is able to do so on behalf of Miyazaki in this case

He's welcome to say so himself, or not

What I can say is that I'm sure thousands if not millions of people are watching his films and celebrating his legacy today, and that likely as many are discovering his work because of AI

And I know I have the choice to fixate on "the bad", which is always just my assumptions or assessments and rarely if ever the literal truth

And I do not choose that, now or ever
Especially when the likelihood of it making a difference is zero
Not really so much because "it's not worth it" 
But because my time isn't 
And the number of people ready to jump to point out the negatives (ie. their perceptions of them) will always outweigh the number of those celebrating their perceptions of the good
I choose that every time I can

How hard is to pick one of this movies, but the one that always makes me cry of joy is Totoro 🫶
