Okay I've seen it so many times now that I went and watched the video (the one the article also links to), and I can confirm that this quote has absolutely nothing to do with AI image generation. The first part of the quote in the post title makes this pretty obvious. Miyazaki watched a diseased hunk of flesh struggle to pull itself forward in an attempt to please the trainer that it knows how to move. This was his reaction.

Would Miyazaki have a similar quote to say about AI images? Maybe. Possibly even probably. But this ain't it.

The full quote in video is even more devastating to the AI programmer who was demoing it than that tidbit. You can see the moment the light leaves his eyes

That was devastating.

He had been so proud of what they had created and then just crushed.

Yeah, if a master of his craft tells you that what you’ve made is an insult to life itself, I don’t think there’s anything left to do but walk into the sea.

That was created by machine learning so the quote still fits.
