Cool, another preachy argument that jumps to irrational conclusions. Because Ghibli?
Uh…we always could & did. Imitators have been doing that since always, long before LLMs. No one owns an art style.
That's the argument? Plagiarism & imitating art styles is fascism? Wow! The rest of the article is worse.
Please make the word fascism more meaningless.
Fill me in a bit. Are you under the impression that artists are particularly okay with/enjoy people imitating their art style?
As an artist, when people imitate me, I take it as flattery.
When a machine imitates me, I take it as an insult to life itself.
I respect your position, and I appreciate people who are willing to share their creativity in an inspiring way like that.
However, others don't see it as flattery. Particularly in eastern cultures, it is seen as mockery or plagiarism. You can choose to disagree about why they don't want you to imitate their style, but you should always respect the request.
If eastern cultures don't like imitation, why are there a million identical isekai light novels with an average joe who dies, reincarnates in a slightly altered Dungeons and Dragons world, and gets a harem of women with huge breasts whose personalities are taken straight from TVtropes?
