No one is less likely to see a Studio Ghibli movie because of Chatgpt. If anything, it’s the opposite: way more people will discover and enjoy their films more as a result of AI, and that makes their IP way more valuable. https://x.com/vanschneider/status/1904993913301078326?s=46

or it devalues the hard work that goes into one of the original movies because the art style ends up everywhere that no one finds a compelling reason to watch the movies themselves The IP loses value when its plastered all over social media and people are making unauthorized merchandise - this isn't like when people would pirate a movie or a song and check out other works by the same artist. When anyone can make a studio ghibli picture/movie the artistry is gone.

Strong disagree. Proliferating the meme makes the meme stronger. You are correct that it's different than pirating a movie—in that case you are literally stealing a released body work. In this case, you're driving hype and shared interest toward the IP by meme-ing.
