Sam Altman defends the chat that copies the studio ghibali style, AI Art Society is good for
Openai CEO Sam Altman, while defending the AI-generated art, said that it enhances creativity rather than changing it. In the recent podcast with Indian entrepreneur Varun Mayya, Altman addressed the concerns around AI, but also noted that AI would reopen the jobs and unlock new creative opportunities, especially in fast growing markets such as India.

The debate around the AI carrying on human touch is going on, some praised AI easily, while others are afraid of its acquisition. Recently, when Openai launched the image generation tool for chatgpt, the debate once again received traction-especially with a specially surrounded trend, where millions of people told their photos to start their photos in Japanese Animation Company Studios’ Slikes Pictures. While the artists criticized this, AI could devalue human craftsmanship for fear of AI, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently defended equipment such as chat and dale for their ability to repeat artistic styles, arguing that AI creativity and profit democratization of society.
During the recent podcast with Indian entrepreneur Varun Mayya, Ultman addressed the moral concerns around the AI-borne imagery, especially when it mimics iconic styles like studio Ghibali. The discussion mentioned a viral clip by Ghibali’s co-founder Hoyo Miyazaki nine years ago, where he expressed disappointment in AI-renovated animation, called it “insult to life”.
Altman, however, pushed back, comparing the impact of AI on human art for previous technical changes such as digital design tools and YouTube. “The democratization of making materials is a very pure victory for the society,” said Altman. “It’s not winning completely – there are negative things about it – but I think, overall, this is a victory. It’s something that I believe very deeply about the power of technology: give more equipment to all, make things easier, to reduce obstacles for entry, these increase the number of people who can contribute to society, and we can benefit all.”
“This does not mean that it (art generated by AI) does not cause some job loss, or some people who had a kind of difference to do something, now face a lot of competition. But overall, I think it is a real benefit for the society.”
Ultman admitted that AI-borne art disrupts traditional workflows, arguing that, such as graphic designers adapted to photoshops from hand-prepared pictures, with an increase in AI, with an increase in AI, artists will find new ways to integrate AI in their crafts.
Altman also said that ever since Openai’s image-generation tools were introduced, they saw explosive growth, Altman revealed that the users would soon cross one billion generated images. India, in particular, Altman said that the country has emerged as Openi’s fastest growing market, using AI with businesses and creators for everything from logo design to 3D modeling.
Altman said that some fear is more likely to increase human creativity than job displacement, AI completely changing. They believe that while AI will automate some tasks, human inspection and taste will be significant. He said, “There will be people in charge of making a website spectacular, but quality expectations will increase.” “Perhaps there are low graphic designers, but they earn a lot of money. Or perhaps the demand explosion occurs because now everyone wants a high quality scene.”
He also pointed to the new job categories, such as Prompt Engineering, which was not present a few years ago. And he said that when some jobs can go, the new technology revolution will open the doors for more opportunities. Altman said, “There will be completely new classes of jobs which we have not seen before.”
Altman also discussed the widespread impact of AI, predicting that AI coding assistant would make the programmer ten times more productive by 2025-26. He also indicated in the AI agents that a cab booking or drafting bridge requests in software development could autonomally handle. Asked about India’s IT region – where exports depends a lot on $ 250 billion human coders – Ultman suggested that AI will disrupt some jobs, increase global demand for software, which will create new opportunities.
