    Don’t really see how that doesn’t relate. So its not a reinforcement learning model designed to make animations. Cool, the result is still the same. Humanity losing faith in itself quote really can’t be applied in a different way to only refer to this one specific model that was made to make terrifying animations, it clearly applies to handing all this human made work over to machines that dont understand why we make what we make. The machine, and subsequently the people who created it, were accused by Miyazaki of not knowing suffering. Not having any idea about something they were trying to emulate. This is what struck his core. The lack of empathy or connection to the subject. The root of all of our connections and bonds come from shared experience and empathy. He was speaking on the abandonment of these principles and AI is the epitome of it all.

      Thank you, way too many people here who seem to completely misunderstand the nature of Miyazaki’s resentment towards AI.

      He was not simply put off by the appearance of the animations, but rather repulsed by the entire process and the idea that machines could ever replicate the creativity of humanity. This is a man that had one of his animators work more than a year on a 4 second shot, refusing to use CGI in any capacity to speed that process up. The notion that he would have anything but contempt for AI is laughable.
