Hayao Miyazaki on AI art

Okay I've seen it so many times now that I went and watched the video (the one the article also links to), and I can confirm that this quote has absolutely nothing to do with AI image generation. The first part of the quote in the post title makes this pretty obvious. Miyazaki watched a diseased hunk of flesh struggle to pull itself forward in an attempt to please the trainer that it knows how to move. This was his reaction.

Would Miyazaki have a similar quote to say about AI images? Maybe. Possibly even probably. But this ain't it.

That was created by machine learning so the quote still fits.
