OpenAI CEO Sam Altman opens up on Studio Ghibli Founder’s “insult to life” criticism of AI-generated art: It has not been a complete win, but I think….

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has defended AI-generated art as a “big net win for society” following criticism from Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki, who once described AI animation as “an insult to life itself.”

In a recent interview with YouTuber Varun Mayya, Altman acknowledged the downsides of AI art but maintained that its overall effect has been positive. “It has not been a complete win. There are negative things about it for sure, and certainly it did something about the art form,” Altman said.
