Tell me you've never seen a Studio Ghibli movie without telling me you've never seen a single Studio Ghibli movie. Literally every one of them contains some "advancing technology isn't necessarily a good thing and the old ways have value" message. If AI were personified in one of their movies, it'd be a oozing black oil demon monstrosity spitting soot into the air.
It'd be like Banksy doing advertisement for Nestle. It's just so contrary to the message they put out.
A message about technology isn't the same as labeling AI as "an insult to life itself."
This guy simply sound like a bigot. His studio is going to rely on AI in any case through the software they are using. If they use photoshop they are already using AI.
I'm at such a loss for words having read such ignorance spouted as truth. You are truly a master sophist.
Where's the "advancing technology isn't necessarily a good thing and the old ways have value" message in Kiki's Delivery Service?
A magical person delivering mail instead of a soulless automated machine? The value of human experience and interactions? I didn't say it was the core message, I said it was a message in all his movies. A "theme" or "motif", if you will.
