What are your thoughts on attributing the art styles for which institutions like Studio Ghibli have developed over decades and even have IP protection?

The cat's out of the bag now; it's unlikely that OpenAI would "un-train" the 4o model in case they're sued by the artists whose art styles they've borrowed (mostly without the artists knowing I reckon).

I wanted to get into this in the piece but I think i’ll save it for a separate one, but basically I think the IP ship has sailed and it’s not coming back, to your point re: cat’s out of the bag. I think that’s true even pending the result of ongoing litigation, mostly because I think less scrupulous or more legally unreachable entities will continue to train on everything anyway. I think that whole system needs to be rethought and rebuilt in a post-AI era

So the thieves, OpenAI te al, have won because they stole big. Also lets no regulate because someone somewhere is going to break the law is a school of thought that we don’t apply to physical robberies or murder.
