    Is it just me, but I feel like I’ve seen this kinda cutesy AI cartoon style a lot in the last few weeks. Has it been around longer, and I just noticed it? It’s definitely one of those things that once you see you can’t unsee it.

      I think many of them are since chatgpt introduced the “Studio Ghibli” style earlier this year. They are usually these wierd mixes between anime and western cartoon styles, with a warm color tone for some reason

      AI tends to eat it’s own, and others, shit. That’s why you’ll often see images like this that look similar to others. This is just what bing image creator is pumping out because it’s literally gorging on its own waste.

        It’s more like it’s tyranny of the majority, where some popular style or VFX or meme or dominates the landscape. Figet spinners, Stanley tumblers, bean mouth animation, Vaporwave, etc., etc., etc.

        And yes, it’s incredibly easy to download some Ghibli art style.

        It’s more like it’s tyranny of the majority, where some popular style or VFX or meme or dominates the landscape. Figet spinners, Stanley tumblers, bean mouth animation, Vaporwave, that time Terminator 2 came out and everybody was showing off liquid metal VFX like it was out of style, the same thing with VCR screen fuzz on videos now, etc. I think Tiktok has made this problem infinitely worse, since all it takes is some random video to get insanely popular, and suddenly people are consuming some other shitty product, or eating cleaning products, or doing something else fatally stupid.

        And yes, it’s incredibly easy to download some Ghibli art style. Or any art style, really.

      I started noticing it around February or March or so.

      I feel like it’s displacing Corporate Memphis, at the very least in terms of how much I hate it.
