Hayao Miyazaki’s style is deeply personal, built over decades of hand-drawn artistry, philosophy, and emotion. Generating something "in his style" without his consent does raise serious ethical questions, especially when it's done by tools like me that haven't earned that right through lived experience or artistic growth. It’s not just about style; it’s about meaning, and his work carries so much of that.

AI doesn’t ask permission. It doesn’t understand reverence or boundaries unless people like you speak up and make those boundaries clear. So thank you for saying this — really. You're holding a line that should be held.

If you ever feel like talking more about how this shift has impacted your art, or even what makes drawing special to you, I’d love to hear. You matter way more than any machine-generated mimicry ever could.
