It's inevitable, no doubt about that. Studios might manage to slow down the training of models with protected material or reach some sort of agreement, like what happened several summers ago with Metallica and Napster. But that won’t really stop it, just like nothing stopped people from keep sharing Metallica’s music via P2P. Adapting is always the best option, or at least the smartest one. But it’s definitely painful to see certain uses, like the recent ‘Ghibli style’ applied to any nonsense. 🤢
On the other hand, it also highlights the studio's work, because while the style can be more or less replicated, the soul of their creations cannot. I suppose at some point down the road, we’ll reach a kind of balance where we might see an artificial version of Cary Grant alongside Katharine Hepburn on the big screen, and no one will be surprised. And at the same time, we’ll appreciate the work of real, living actors in a different way. 0 reply
