"In 2016, the legendary Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki was shown a bizarre AI-generated video of a misshapen human body crawling across a floor. Miyazaki declared himself "utterly disgusted" by the technology demo, which he considered an "insult to life itself." "If you really want to make creepy stuff, you can go ahead and do it," Miyazaki said. "I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all.""
"Many fans interpreted Miyazaki's remarks as rejecting AI-generated video in general. So they didn't like it when, in October 2024, filmmaker PJ Accetturo used AI tools to create a fake trailer for a live-action version of Miyazaki's animated classic Princess Mononoke. The trailer earned him 22 million views on X. It also earned him hundreds of insults and death threats."
Hayao Miyazaki reacted with disgust to an AI-generated video and rejected incorporating the technology into his work. Filmmaker PJ Accetturo used AI to create a fake live-action Princess Mononoke trailer, which garnered 22 million views along with hundreds of insults and death threats. Artists accuse AI companies of using their work without consent and warn that creators lacking AI expertise may lose jobs. Improved generative models accelerate workflows and enable new modes of expression. Nine actors, directors, and creators navigated economic pressures and intense fan backlash. Actors organized and in 2023 staged a prolonged SAG-AFTRA strike to seek stronger protections.
