PANAJI: For the last few days, the internet has been electric with excitement surrounding Ghibli-style AI art. Since OpenAI introduced its image generator in ChatGPT, people from all walks of life—celebrities, politicians, and everyday individuals alike—have engaged in this excitement by sharing AI-created images reminiscent of the renowned Ghibli filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki.
The latest version enables users to convert their photos or even popular internet memes into breathtaking Ghibli-style illustrations.
“Joining the AI-generated Ghibli trend is fun, but not all AI apps protect your privacy! Ghibli art is loved for its dreamy charm, but always think before uploading personal photos and use only trusted AI Apps to generate one,” said Goa Police
However, is it secure to disclose your personal photographs to the AI? Advocates for digital privacy on the social media site X (formerly Twitter) have voiced similar worries. They argue that OpenAI might be leveraging this trend to gather personal images for training AI.
Although it seems harmless for the average user, critics believe they may be unintentionally providing sensitive information to OpenAI, which brings up a significant privacy concern.
The emergence of this trend has ignited discussions surrounding the ethics of AI tools that derive insights from copyrighted artwork, prompting inquiries into their effect on the careers of human artists. At 84, Miyazaki—renowned for his enchanting storytelling and commitment to hand-drawn animation—has expressed his doubts regarding the role of AI in the animation industry.
Activists, however, argue that this matter extends beyond AI copyright; they contend that it has enabled the company to collect images that are submitted voluntarily, thereby bypassing legal restrictions related to web-scraped data.
