The internet is abuzz, GPU's (Graphic Processing Units) have gone into a meltdown churning out AI-generated art mimicking Studio Ghibli's iconic style. What started as a tech experiment has spiraled into a heated and polarising discussion about creativity, ethics and the planet's well-being. We tend to react differently when we watch a cover or tribute band playing classic hits or a dancer copying a master's moves. There's an appreciation for the skill and effort involved, an acknowledgment that even mimicking greatness takes talent and time. But when AI churned out Ghibli-style images in microseconds, the effect was devastating. And polarising. Fans of Hayao Miyazaki, Ghibli's legendary animator, felt unease over how his meticulously hand-drawn frames, filled with humanism and beauty, were now trivialised by soulless replicas. Many argued it wasn't just about copying his signature style - it was about stripping away the context and effort. The debate has revealed our collective discomfort with tech replacing human struggle, even as some joined the trend, fascinated by AI's capabilities. Artists have always copied the masters - students sketching da Vinci or musicians covering tunes of The Beatles. It's how skills are honed. But AI flips this on its head, replacing human effort with tech. The debate then shouldn't just be about plagiarism - style has been borrowed forever, from Picasso to modern fashion. In Bollywood, Anil Kapoor fought to protect his personality traits from misuse - a legit concern over how even a seemingly harmless mimicry used in the wrong context can be damaging for an actor or any creative person. What truly matters is context: using Ghibli's style for contentious or trivial images feels wrong because it lacks the soul Miyazaki poured into every frame.

She sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue. Her head was leaned against the window curtains and in her nostrils was the odour of dusty cretonne. She was tired. Few people passed. The man out of the last house passed on his way home: she heard his footsteps clacking along the concrete pavement and afterward crunching on the cinder path before the new red houses. One time there used to be a field there in which they used to play every evening with other people's children. Then a man from Belfast bought the field and built houses in it - not like their little brown houses but bright brick houses with shining roofs. The children of the avenue used to play together in that field - the Devines, the Walters, the Dunns, little Keogh the cripple, she and her brothers and sisters. Ernest, however, never played: he was too grown up. Her father often used to hunt them in and out of the field with his blackthorn stick; but usually little Keogh used to keep nix and call out when he saw her father coming. Still, they seemed to have been rather happy then. Her father was not so bad then; and besides, her mother was alive. That was a long time ago; she and her brothers and sisters were all grown up; her mother was dead. Everything changes. Now she was going away like the others, to leave her home. Home! She looked round the room, reviewing all its familiar objects which she had dusted once a week for so many years, wondering where on earth all the dust came from. She had consented to go away, to leave her home. Was that wise?
