I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Well for one, they didnt come out with a Ghibli filter, they just removed restrictions on imitating art styles and using ghibli style just became a trend.
And honestly who cares what Miyazaki thinks? He's famously stuck in the past, stubborn and kind of elitist.
I am honestly not informed enough to say whether the whole Ghibli trend grew organically, or whether it came from OAI marketing.
And yeah, Myasaki can be a bit of a dick, but I don't think he's wrong here. I worked with both LLM and image generation for some personal projects, and you have to coax it a lot to get anything halfway usable, and even then, it isn't great. Even stuff that's heralded as exemplary by the corps behind the trend mostly seems kinda shitty.
Also, even if you like GenAI, most of the stuff that OAI is doing right now feels like desperate attempts to keep the hype train rolling, to justify their frankly ludicrous valuation.

A lot of people care what Miyazaki thinks because he created over a dozen films that are beloved by millions because of their artistry, is well respected in the anime/manga world, and is generally regarded as a master of his artform. People tend to take your words seriously when they have nearly 50 years of experience and success behind them.
Yeah and JK Rowling created one the biggest and most popular series of all time.
That doesn't mean her opinions deserve any sort of special consideration.
The issue with Rowling is more that she started talking out her rear end about something of which she doesn't have much, if any, understanding. If she gave you advice on writing YA fiction, it'd be worth something. Miyazaki is a visual artist broadly respected for his art, so his opinions on visual art have some weight. If it was about the cultivation of kumquats, I think I'd ask a farmer.
Yeah maybe, but I would be willing to bet a lot of money Miyazaki couldn't tell you how stable diffusion worked if his life depended on it.
Almost no one knows how SD works. That's not the point. He's not contrasting it against some other GenAI concept to compare training cost. He's looking at it based on the results. You don't have to know how to build a CPU to compare benchmarks for ones built by someone else.
