I'm so glad that this is available so some cretin with TPUs can train the next culturally and morally compromised generative model.

I would have never heard of Studio Ghibli along with several others if it wasn't in the training data. The result? More awareness and relevance, more visit to their museums, more viewing streams, and more snarky discussion comments surrounding morality.

Every frame of everything Miyazaki has ever done and every other movie, tv show, anime, screenplay, book and work of art by every artist everywhere have already been assimilated. Ghibli slop memes are already old hat.

I'm not claiming it's a good thing by any means but there's no point in worrying about it, the paperclip maximizer has done its work.

Or maybe the next great story teller to create something meaningful that touches people in ways that change their mental model of the world.

Perhaps allowing them to find the positives in new technologies.

Or, you know... Slop.

An open mind doesn't hurt though.

How many pieces of AI art can you actually remember? I mean, call to mind in the same detail as you can remember a photograph?

I think AI generated imagery is fundamentally compromised somehow in this regard: something subliminally uncanny, no matter how realistic, makes them harder to recall.

For this reason I personally doubt AI generated art will ever have a profound effect on people. Because it really seems to lack the mechanism.
