The Israeli military's attempt to join a social media trend of posting AI-generated images in the style of Studio Ghibli has faced backlash. The trend, sparked by OpenAI's new image generator, has raised questions about AI models breaching copyright and the contrast between hand-drawn films and instant gratification culture. The Israel Defense Forces posted four Ghibli-style images on its social media accounts, resulting in angry and mocking responses. Some users shared counter-images depicting Israeli brutality in Gaza, while others highlighted Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki's pacifist stance and disdain for AI-generated imagery.
