Sony Wants to Defeat Ghibli AI Slop... By Feeding Ghibli Movies Into Its Own Slop Machine

Sony is reportedly using an AI model trained on Studio Ghibli anime to prevent copyright-infringing content from being generated on the internet. The company's new technology, "Protective AI," was trained to avoid digital plagiarism by feeding the AI tool Studio Gibli data. It is also reportedly creating a system that compensates the original creators and rights holders for fair representation. The idea is that by feeding Protective AI data to generate prompts like those of Studio's art style, it can prevent copyright infringement. This move comes as part of a wider trend of AI-generated content, with companies like the White House using it for its ICE deportation propaganda.
