AI Art Sparks Authenticity Concerns

Published on 4.12.25

  The rise of AI-generated art has sparked a heated debate in the art world, with some artists expressing concerns about its impact on creativity and originality. A recent trend of using Studio Ghibli-inspired AI art has gained immense popularity, with over 150 million active users per week, according to Similarweb data. Evie Hilliar, an artist, believes that while she opposes the use of AI to replicate other artists' styles, it is inevitable and already happening. She notes that the trend is captivating, but risks undermining the creative integrity of individual artists and making theft easier due to the ease of copying AI-generated designs. UAE artists have echoed similar concerns, warning that the trend may dilute the originality of individual artists. The use of Studio Ghibli-inspired AI art has also led to questions about ownership and authorship in the digital age. Grant Slatton, a software engineer, used AI to generate a Studio Ghibli-inspired family portrait, sparking debate on ethics and consent in the art world. This trend is raising concerns that the ease with which users can create such artwork may lead to issues of who should be credited as the creator. The surge in demand for Studio Ghibli-inspired AI art has led to a strain on OpenAI's servers, limiting usage of their chatbot.
