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.
Every AI studio ghibli meme is another sign of how useless open AI is
So far I've only found 1 use case for myself. Turning my words into MBA speak for management
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.
How can you tell though?
I can't recall memes being hand drawn in Ghibli style until they made Ghibli style AI reproducible a couple of days ago. So let's just say that the probability of a lot of memes using Ghibli style art going forward is probably close to 99.9% certain of being AI generated.
You're almost certainly right, but there's nothing in the image that gives it away as obviously AI, is there?
Not that I can see, no. I'm just saying: "New AI slop dropped, prepare to get flooded"
Yep. Hopefully this trend burns itself out pretty quickly.
I know it because it's a copy of a comic I saw about a decade ago that I know for a fact was not styled like this
Edit: finally got more than the preview to load and I can now see that this is a riff not a rip Edit2: original comic
I realise it's referencing another comic, but based on just the art alone, it's hard to tell, isn't it?
If you zoom in there's a number of tells. Just to name a few, The man's right hand thumb, the ends of the sticks, the bottom girls hands, the fusing of the boy's hands, the boy's left leg. Just gotta look close and think.
Looking at the background also tends to help. If you look at the city, it looks realistic at first. But once you zoom in, it makes a lot less sense.
If it was an actual artist rather than someone typing a prompt into an AI, they would have known that it's "Studio Ghibli" not "Ghibli Studio"....
I also can't. If people believe that other normal people can tell the difference they are surely mistaken. From the comments supposedly you have to know how to detect some micro flaws and zoom a lot already knowing where to look.
The future is not good.
It still can't do hands for shit except for things it has a lot of data for, and still has that "AI shine" and artifacting but somewhat filtered.
Downvoting not because I disagree with you, but because you provide no evidence.

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.
Really? That's some serious nitpicking. Colloquial terms exist, man.

This is an insult to life itself.
Grave of the fireflies was totally cool
