    OpenAI picked Studio Ghibli because Miyazaki hates their approach.

    I highly doubt it. They picked it because the Ghibli style is very popular among users. There’s also no reason to believe that it violates “democratic values”. Since it’s popular, the general population is voting that they LIKE it, not that they oppose it.

    Downvote me all you like, but this is trying to put a lot of malice where the simpler explanation is just “money”.

      Yeah it’s not like this is the only way to generate the style, it’s relatively simple to even do it locally. It’s just popular

      Yeah the text makes many freestyle assumptions, although the overall sentiment is correct that these big companies and especially egocentric billionaires do stuff to trigger others simply for power display. I believe the text linked about it being a distraction for the new round of funding is the real reason.
