In a recent interview with Japan’s Asahi Shimbun, the film’s president and producer Studio GhibliToshio Suzuki’s theme isgenerative artificial intelligence There are also some “Ghibli-style” illustrations that you’ll remember from a certain period that were all over the internet.
Suzuki explained that although he received many interview requests at the height of the exposure of the images, he deliberately chose to decline them. His decision was based on the belief that this was a Trends that the public gets tired of quickly. The subsequent decline in interest in such content confirmed his predictions, and the studio did not need to intervene by issuing an official statement on the matter.
Manufacturers evaluate the quality of these pieces narrowed the scope of the phenomenon. “While artificial intelligence can easily produce certain types of animation, anyone with a modicum of expertise can expose its falsity,” Suzuki said. “It has no real meaning or even any meaning.”
The function of generating artificial intelligence is to aggregate the information available online to return what it defines as the “best solution”, which also contrasts with the working methods of the studio’s co-founders. Suzuki emphasizes how Hayao Miyazaki Taking the opposite approach: starting from the filming of the film “The Boy and the Heron” (2023), the director isolated himself from outside influences and focused on pure creation. According to the producers, Miyazaki doesn’t even know what generative artificial intelligence is. Studio Ghibli’s new movie has a release date, the catch is you can only see it in Japan. When asked what role Studio Ghibli will play in an era dominated by new technologies, Suzuki responded sarcastically, citing the definition provided by artificial intelligence itself when asked about the topic: “Studio Ghibli will develop into a cultural entity that demonstrates what it means for humans to create art”. In between interviews, the producer reiterated his stance, firmly stating that Miyazaki’s artistic expression remains an integral part of humanity and cannot be replicated through artificial intelligence or computer graphics.
