For many people in the arts, creation is central to identity. I’m in that group. I put a little bit of myself in everything I do. Consequently, I am a huge fan of Studio Ghibli and the work of Hayao Miyazaki, who is one of the most powerful storytellers I’ve come across.
‘Miyazaki’ by Paris Paloma is both an homage in name to the filmmaker and a condemnation of Ai art. It captures the desperation to create art, in many forms and represents the righteous anger of those who stand in defiance of that which challenges creation.
“I’m not a violent person but I make things with aggression.”
Miyazaki’s lyrics embody a violent sort of euphoria that lends itself to the idea that emotion is at the heart of creation. AI does not make art accessible; it strips the soul from hundreds of compositions and spits out something devoid of humanity. Miyazaki calls it an insult to life itself.
