The reality is that styles are valuable. People affiliate with them because of the artists that made them. Finally, those artists deserve credit. Most takes on the timeline are about legal protection, monetization, and marketing of this style. These are important, but the real problem here was that Studio Ghibli didn't consent and wasn't credited. It creates an unstable foundation. Attribution is a double edged sword. On one hand it can be used to extract. The other it's how culture, creativity, and networks build. In this case, it was a moment of extraction. It doesn't feel right. The solution? Build positive-sum experiences that align with people who value creativity. At TITLES, we're building creative tools powered by a community of models offered by the artists. We work with artists like @Mad_Dog_Jones, @emilyxxie, @ownthedoge, to help them create, share, and earn from their own models. Every model in our tooling is offered by their creators. They define how they'd like them to perform, not open AI. Every generation, prompt, reference image is attributed. The downstream effect of this is a community of participation, individuals are excited to sample one another, and tooling that feels uniquely rich. If you're an artist or creative who wants to lean into AI and remain a part of the experience, we're building for you.
