-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 <em>an insult to life itself</em>. -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> -<footer style="vertical-align: bottom;"> - <div style="display: block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;"> - <center> - - © Copyright 2024-2025 Mateusz J.
