+I will not raise the ethics concerns behind such actions, it’s also not my aim to start a debate about this. +However, I think the question above is worth asking to yourself.</p> +<p>I think the point made by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki">Hayao Miyazaki</a>, the studio Ghibli founder behind some of the best animated movies of the last century summarizes it pretty well. +Recently there has been a viral video going on of him saying in 2016 how he believes AI to be “an insult to life itself”. +As strong of an opinion as it is, I sympathize with his standpoint of view. +Being an artist and designer, seeing your life’s work being completely overtaken by soulless software must be terrifying.</p> + +</div> + + </main> + + <footer> + +© Copyright 2025-2026 Mateusz J.
