    Not really at all.

    Fifty shades of grey had to change its entire setting and characters to get published. I can’t just produce princess monoke two and not get sued.

    I can’t even sell t shirts with either on via etsy or similar without risk. Yet I could steal studio ghibilis art style with zero talent involved using a llm to advertise my business, seemingly perfectly legal right now.

      You never hear music in a show or movie that sounds like a shitty knock-off of popular music to comply with copyrights? It happens a lot.

      “Princess Mononoke 2” would copy a bit more than merely style: characters, setting, theme, story, expression.

      Imitating mere style (like Ghibli) for something substantially different was legal before just as it is now for human or LLM. I think people like you are throwing fits because they never realized it (or cared) until LLMs started doing what skilled people were already doing long before.

      Even killing children may be legal if it is profitable, they will even be used to cook food, well, that’s just for comparison, one thing is cannibalism of the flesh, another is cannibalism of the soul in the case of art.
