I don't care; they can downvote away. People on social media are stupid, which is demonstrated by the fact that if you read the rest of my replies, you'd see that I agree with Miyazaki, but also that everyone is interpreting what he was saying incorrectly by ignoring half of what he said, which is ACTUALLY disrespectful to the man. The important context in what he said was that an AI would not be able to replicate the expression of pain his friend felt via animation like a human who understands pain and emotions could, and THAT is why he found it offensive to life. There is a giant difference between that and using AI in your workflow to improve your efficiency so that you can focus more on the important creative bits, which is what Miyazaki was clearly referring to as being what he cared about.

So yeah, dumbasses online not being able to read context or critically think from their social media complaint armchairs don't have any sway on my opinion when I have a decade of real-world experience being an artist for a living on them.
