OpenAI generating "Ghibli-stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is a display of power.

I feel like we are nearing the end of times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves.

~ Hayao Miyazaki

This is perhaps the final stage of capitalism and consumerism - the assimilation of the human spirit and the communication of human experience through art.
