    Style cannot be copyrighted.

    And if somehow copyright laws were changed so that it could be copyrighted it would be a creative apocalypse.

      Not style. But they had to train that AI on ghibli stuff. So… Did they have the right to do that?

        Training doesn’t involve copying anything, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t. You need to copy something to violate copyright.

            And yet if one wishes to ask:

            Did they have the right to do that?

            That is inherently the realm of lawyer speak because you’re asking what the law says about something.

            The alternative is vigilantism and “mob justice.” That’s not a good thing.

              Yeah I think you know very well what I meant. I’m talking about the lawyer sprak where people know that they are obviously wrong, yet act as if they did nothing wrong by using extremely border technicalities as arguments
