The comics look pretty Miyazaki-inspired, like all of the comics I've seen lately. I've kinda started to dislike this look because it's _everywhere_ that low-effort comics are these days. Maybe worth trying to train a better style for this. This is probably something where you could put a little effort in up-front (ie: using a model that's for segmentation to get outlines, using some classic image-processing for boundary detection) and then have AI touch it up a little more lightly and a less of the "default" style. Also, do you have AI images for the "real world" samples on the left? They have a certain "I don't exactly know what, but it's creeping me out" vibe.

This has zero resemblance to Miyazaki’s style. (And I say that as someone who isn’t a fan of this idea at all.)

  Hard disagree. Sample #2 is totally the Miyazaki-vibe that is everywhere in OpenAI-generated comics. https://clevercoloringbook.com/samples/2_cartoon.png https://clevercoloringbook.com/samples/2_cartoon.png The cartoon owl at the top has a different vibe and would probably work for the comics as well.

    It's nothing like Ghibli, you are overthinking this.

      I'm gonna agree with the above comment - #2 looks like a Japanese-style cartoon (for better or worse).

        OP confirmed their prompt explicitly asks for a studio ghibli style

      You think that the model is not properly producing the style it was prompted for in the below prompt? I don't see other artists or styles mentioned. > Make this a page in a colouring book. The drawing is in a simple Studio Ghibli portrait style. Bleed all the way to the edges. Background colour is #ffffff and lines are bold and #000000. There is no shading or crossthatching.

    After seeing this example, I think this is the elevator pitch: ”We take your personal highlights and make them as generic and impersonal as possible.”

It doesn't look particularly Miyazaki style to me; it's just a generic cartoon style. I think the Ghiblipocalypse has gotten people on edge.

  there's 4 sample pages, and the one with the cat is the only one that is not Ghibli-style. Here's some generic cartoon styles to look at: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5f/04/ef/5f04ef77ce3beb272a61e276b32f31bb.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5f/04/ef/5f04ef77ce3beb272a61...

    That's probably the only info-graphic I've ever seen that's worth a damn.

    This is so interesting - I could add some of these as options.

  It absolutely resembles the current Miyazaka-esque OpenAI image trend that’s been going on.

  The author has since listed the prompt elsewhere in the comments. It includes, "The drawing is in a simple Studio Ghibli portrait style." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43801189 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43801189

  OP confirmed that their prompt includes a directive for Ghiblification. Given that Miyazaki is known to hate GenAI I really can't condone... I mean there's nothing anyone can do about it but it's just kind of sad.
