Interesting mix of responses here. I think it's not a matter of copying art style though. I think it's more to do with the death of creative labor. Especially with how labor intensive Studio Ghibli films are.
But I learned some time ago that we're in "the age of curatorship" so maybe we'll just continue filtering out AI stuff the same way we try to filter out "brainrot" or "slop content". Unless of course, you actually like any of that (and I do like to watch these from time to time myself).
With the current situation, it's also interesting that Studio Ghibli hasn't said anything yet. Or at least I'm not aware of any legitimate statements yet. Maybe Sudio Ghibli isn't bothered by it at all.
Anyway, I think it's good people actively resist AI. It's here to stay unless laws limit or prohibit it.
One of my college graphic design teachers was an old man who had been doing commercial art since the 60s. He'd tell us about how there used to be one guy who handled the colours, one guy who handled the lettering, a photographer or illustrator, and an art director overseeing them all. We're not even going to get into the copywriter, creative directors, ane printers.
Then adobe and computers came in and now one guy will handle all those jobs on a single project. And that one guy is paid a lot less than any single individual would've been.
The AI doesn't remove the need for an artist or designer, you seem to always need someone who knows what they're actually doing in order to get reliable results from the AI. What it will probably do is allow a creative to work on a wider variety of projects and reduce the amount of paid creative work that's available to professionals.
