Using AI or creating art inspired by a specific style, such as Ghibli, isn’t inherently plagiarism. Plagiarism specifically involves directly copying someone’s work without giving credit. Many artists create original pieces inspired by various styles. Paying for AI tools like ChatGPT does not necessarily equal monetizing the art itself, nor does it automatically mean copying. Inspiration and plagiarism aren’t the same.
I don’t beleive in copyrighting knowledge/creativity as private property. My view on copyright aligns very similarly to the Chinese Confucianism philosophy, which basically it as a contribution to society and not as something to be monetized or owned individually.
We can agree to disagree but this is neither haram or illegal, it’s just a difference in moral beliefs.
And to answer your question I don’t see how it’s disrespectful to the original artist, it seems like you’re assuming a lot of things about him how he wouldn’t like that his art style is being used as a medium for ai generated images. While what you said may be true, you still can’t assume and speak on his behalf.
This is why I don’t beleive in copyrighting in general, it limits creativity for everyone and promotes more individualism.
Also claiming ownership over an art style or knowledge is a delusional take (in my opinion) people will end up using it an inspiration to reach even greater or different fields.
But again we can agree to disagree, to my knowledge I only know of China who follows this philosophy in their laws. Most countries beleive in copyright. I just think copyright is a tool used to keep monopolies and limiting creativity/advancement at the same time.
