I think many of the ethical considerations surrounding AI-generated images and videos are closely tied to the discussion of creativity we had in class. Reflecting on the reading about ChatGPT generating images in the style of Studio Ghibli, it raises concerns about copyright and the importance of giving credit to original creators. As someone who experimented with generating images in the Studio Ghibli style, I found it fun and understood why it has become so popular. However, from a creator’s perspective, it would feel unfair to see AI replicate your artistic style and produce numerous images for free and potentially without acknowledging the original source. It’s important to recognize that these works of art require significant time, effort, and creativity to produce, and they should not be so easily used by AI and distributed to others without proper consideration.
