    The moralistic outrage is that people still have an outdated concept of intellectual property, and a blanket fear of corporations owning technological progress.

    The truth is, no one can actually own an idea or style. But we have laws that try to make it a real thing. Because of regulatory capture, copyright truly only benefits corporations with lots of money, not all the little indie artists that actually would need it.

    Hell, most these indie artists make their money drawing and selling fanart, which is the most literal definition of copying. Yet no one worries about that.

      Does OpenAI offer the same service in Disney “'Mickey Mousify”

      And how has that played out.

      It’s a sincere question (I don’t know) though i admit to not trying to learn, as I’ve never played with any of the AI tools

        I googled it for you. Yes, they advertise “From Studio Ghibli, Pixar, and Disney Classics to The Simpsons, South Park, and more.” Not sure why everybody is focusing on Studio Ghibli.
