Hayao Miyazaki needs no introduction. He is the brains behind world-acclaimed movies like “Spirited Away” and “My Neighbour Totoro”. Tickets to his Studio Ghibli attraction in Tokyo are highly sought after. Tourists typically have to jump through hoops before getting their hands on the tickets. Hence, I thought he would be the right person to frame this discussion.
Expectedly, Miyazaki san holds a negative attitude towards Gen-AI. This is what he has to say:
Hayao Miyazaki has spent his lifetime honing his craft and reached an exceptional level in which he can reliably rely on his creative juices and wits. But most of us could use an assistant. From coding and writing to artwork and music, Gen-AI tools could help us overcome creative slumps and remove our inadequacies.
Certain Science journals like Nature are more receptive to the use of ChatGPT and other LLMs. Articles that cite ChatGPT as an author have been published successfully. Other journals hold a more critical attitude and forbid the use of LLMs.
How about you? What is your yardstick in regard to this revolutionary and nascent field? When will you use Gen-AI to better your design principles and products? At which point would you consider as crossing the line?
Zapping some sats to @Design_r in recognition of his tireless energy in managing this territory xP
