OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power (tante.cc)

out-of-context quote about

That didn't exactly look like animation. Looks like they trained an AI to control a humanoid figure in a virtual environment. It learned completely new and inhuman means of locomotion. Not very impressive from the technical angle, but the pitch about using it as a model for Zombie movement was clever.

You can use that for CG animation, of course. But those bi- and quadrupedal robots are also trained that way.

I feel the filmmakers manufactured some drama there. Knowing the real context of the quote makes it much more sensible.
