Yes, Studio Ghibli's relationship with AI isn't a happy one, according to Geek Wire, after the AI filter that became popular for turning photos into AI photos into Studio Ghibli's style, Miyazaki finally came out with a response saying AI is "an insult to life itself." But since then, Financial Express made an article giving a rundown discussing that Miyazaki hasn't made a cease and desist letter to OpenAI but instead fake ones have been made and posted to social media in response to Studio Ghibli's open hatred of AI, along with fake copyright warnings to people trying to make apps surrounding AI using Studio Ghibli's image.
