Looks to me like OpenAI drew their guardrails somewhere along a financial line. Generate a Micky Mouse or a Pikachu? Disney and Pokemon will sue the sh*t out of you. Ghibli? Probably not powerful enough to risk a multimillion years long court battle.

Ghibli isn’t a character, but a style. You can’t copyright it.

For the downvotes:

Not sure why this is even controversial, this has been the case for a hundred years.
