Display of power
Tante thinks that Open AI didn't just steal Studio Ghibli's art to show they're still relevant, they did it to move the goalposts, and stretch what people will accept as behaviour:
It’s not that they just picked something cute and accidentally the co-founder of that studio hates their whole approach from the bottom of its heart. OpenAI picked Studio Ghibli because Miyazaki hates their approach.
It is a display of power: You as an artist, an animator, an illustrator, a writer, any creative person are powerless. We will take what we want and do what we want. Because we can.
