Every AI studio ghibli meme is another sign of how useless open AI is
I cannot tell that this is AI. I thought it was a human's work. I don't believe this is AI. If this is AI, then I have to admit that AI is better than I thought -- not sure why you'd say it's useless.
This is absolutely AI generated, friend.
Downvoting not because I disagree with you, but because you provide no evidence.
You have to be a bot. Because I don't believe an actual human could be this dumb

~~I'm sorry, that's against my terms of service~~ whoops, sorry. I meant -- thank you for educating me about the latest human trend.
Rather than calling people dumb, has it ever occurred to you that maybe they're simply ignorant of a very recent AI trend?
Everyone should be permanently online and eating all the new info released in the last few hours about the stupidest latest trends. Obviously.
Sure, let me believe you, a random person on the internet. In all seriousness, I could believe either way, but you just saying that without any explanation is pretty useless.
It has to do with the "flatness" of the general composition. It reeks of AI. A human usually needs to intervene to prevent that.
Are you happy now?
Also there's a weird rectangle in the guy's hands that doesn't match the scene (paper? dollar bill?), the rolled up thing in the ledft corner is clearly a bastardization of a soda bottle and a rolled-up newspaper, and there's some weird white chunk on the middle girl's forehead that feels like it's supposed to be a physical colouring error.
Yep, though the link and explanation of the recent trends also helped a lot. I just just taking a pot shot at at the general "just trust me bro" vibe, but I probably went a bit too mean at the end there.
You weren't mean at all. I'm a snarky, cranky fuck sometimes, it's not on you lol.
No human in their right mind would put a well kempt dude in a suit into a post apocalyptic comic. It just doesn't make sense.
But it's literally based off of a cartoon with a man in a suit, though: https://www.insidehook.com/culture/story-tom-toro-new-yorker-climate-cartoon
This was actually my favourite detail though. It gives the apocalypse this sense of immediacy which I think is important for the message it's trying to tell.
I don't know why you're getting boo'd, you're right!
So far I've only found 1 use case for myself. Turning my words into MBA speak for management
I feel so dirty, but it had to be done

Yeah, but it's Grave of the Fireflies.
It would really suck if they used AI to make this.
Narrator: they used generative models to make this.
PS, AI
doesn't exist
No they're talking about AL, the man who's behind every 4 second transition of whatever you want into Ghibli. Al is a savant who can crank out a billion renditions of memes turned into South Park characters a second.
He used to be a free man, but the company Open AL decided that his gift was too useful to be squandered so now he sits in a basement chained to a rock as he gets order after order demanding Hatsune Miku feet. He's not even good at drawing feet yet.
Allen Iverson is a legend.
I'd like to out-pedant you: General AI doesn't exist (though there's an argument that perhaps it does now). Computer scientists have used the term AI to refer to all sorts of things from pathfinding to STRIPS to video game enemies imitating human players to machine learning since time immemorial. If your objection is that only humans have intelligence, one could equally argue that only humans compute, so no true Computer exists. Please define intelligence for me if you think otherwise.
What the actual fuck is a "Ghibli studio"
edit: Since yall seem chill with the absolute crime against universe that saying Studio Ghibli backwards is, I've seen most of the movies, I actually know wtf the studio does.
Animation company with a very distinct hand drawn style. If you want an introduction, try watching "Grave of the Fireflies". 8.5@10 and 37th best movie according to IMDb.

Authoritarian human leaders are fucking up the world a lot more than AI, but sure whatever fits your confirmation bias.
Given that AI-promulgating technofascists are often one and the same people driving the authoritarian train, I don't think it's as crazy of an idea as you're making it out to be.
There's more than one thing to be upset about right now.
Grave of the fireflies was totally cool

Tbh, the most surprising thing about this trend is how long it took to be.
