With artificial intelligence (AI) gaining ground in anime , many wonder: how far can this technology go? For Goro Miyazaki , director of Studio Ghibli and son of the legendary Hayao Miyazaki , the answer is clear — no algorithm will be able to replicate the soul of the studio's works.
Recently, tools like ChatGPT have started generating Ghibli-style illustrations, reigniting the debate about the future of animation. Goro, responsible for films like " Tales from Earthsea " and " From Up on Poppy Hill, " acknowledges the impressive advances in AI. He believes that soon we will see entire films created by artificial intelligence. Even so, for him, the art created by Hayao Miyazaki is irreplaceable.
According to Goro, his father's unique life experience—marked by the war—is what gives Studio Ghibli's animations that rare combination of gentleness and melancholy. And that, according to him, no AI will be able to reproduce. " If my father and Toshio Suzuki can't make anime, who will? " he asks.
Despite this, Goro doesn't rule out using AI as a tool. He sees it as a useful resource for developing ideas and accelerating production. However, he doesn't believe that fans are ready to consume content entirely created by machines.
