    Goro Miyazaki directed Tales From Earthsea. When you look at how bad that movie is, it makes sense that he wouldn’t see AI movies as inherently problematic; they’ll be similar in quality to his own work.

      Passing reminder that Goro Miyazaki is an architect who never wanted to make movies. He was brought on as an architecture advisor, and the studio kept pushing him to take more and more responsibility because he’s his father’s son, and his father encouraged it. The movie sucks because he’s not a director and he didn’t want to make it.

      (Side note: I actually rather like Tales from Earthsea, so when I say it sucks I’m referring to general public reception and not my own opinion.)

      Even worse, he directed Earwig and the Witch… Tales From Earthsea was at least somewhat competent

        I’m going to watch it anyway, so there.

        But as a brain cleanse, try little Emma. It’s not amazing, but it’s cute as hell. Itty bitty humans smaller than sentient racist livestock.

      I liked that one. I’m supremely doubtful he’s correct, but I don’t think his directorial prowess has anything to do with it.
