This "Studio Ghibli" craze is a good example of how generative AI destroys (economic and cultural) value.
In a few weeks, when people get bored/sick of the memes, what would have become of the art style that those folks in Japan spent decades perfecting? And what does that mean for any future work they'll produce?
We've already seen this with several illustration styles, which have become synonymous with no-value AI slop even when drawn by a human hand.
