This is just bullshit. I don't care that much about the whole Ghibli AI filters, but they are really stretching the current copyright system with this. The only thing that Gib Studio could be violating is trademark law by calling it Gib, but everything else is wrong.
1. You cannot copyright or patent an art-style.
2. The AI is only using Studio Ghibli's work as a reference while also using a real life photo to create a drawing. It's like if I took a photo and drew a cartoon version of it in Butch Hartman's style and used Fairly Odd Parents screenshots as references.
3. People are mostly using the tool to share images on social media. They aren't doing anything for commercial purposes. It's no different than people who draw pictures of themselves in the Powerpuff Girls art-style for example.
4. People aren't stupid enough to believe that Studio Ghibli would endorse something because something is drawn in it's artstyle. People have been drawing offensive memes using various works and they almost never harm the reputation of the original creators...unless you are Ben Garrison.
Kinda wild that there's issues being fixed in games from more than 30 years ago by fans but this is pretty rad https://alltinker.itch.io/gk-speech-fix
although the latest hot topic seems to be the same creatures thinking that a belly pouch is "fat", which is just as hilarious as when they call a light makeup 'natural beauty'
shows that their calls to "be fruitful and multiply" are a sham, too, when they shame the very byproducts of women's role in multiplying (as usual)
CEOs aren't members of the proletariat. They don't merely sell their labor to the capitalist class. They act as representatives of the capitalist class, holding significant authority and control over the means of production. By virtue of their position within the capitalist system, as managers of the exploitation of labor, they aren't members of the proletariat but are extensions of the capitalist class.
