I was watching a video that spliced all of Ghibli's movies together and I felt so much emotion seeing the raw skill and empathy in those scenes.
Then I remembered the idiot that said something along the lines of "no one is a fan of Ghibli because of the artwork or the process" while trying to promote AI crap -_- I swear, AI crap even ruins nice moments by trying to tie themselves to something when it clearly doesn't belong. It stains anything it touches like a kid covered in what you hope is chocolate.
But it's like... nothing made from AI has ever made me emotional or think as deeply as human created things have. Ghibli is the perfect example of that. You get to see and feel what was being thought with each scene, what was in the artist's head and what they wanted to convey with the care they put into each frame. You can sometimes get really into someone's head with the stuff they create and really feel the years they put into their craft.
Some may try to brush this off as "it isn't that deep" but it really is. A lot of things that are labeled "not that deep" actually are. Humanity itself, regardless of what some may believe, is pretty deep. Why else would we have philosophers throughout our time, pondering human behavior and the world around us?
Always found people who used "it isn't that deep" as weird, anyway. Like, why are you trying to shut down critical thinking?
