I don't understand the advantage everyone here is seeing. The produced artwork in that reddit thread is a digital collage. The perspective is mangled, the end result looks like a geocities page and a myspace page had a miyasaki-themed baby.
I understand it's a tech demo. The tech just patches in holes in the artwork with flat shapes that match a brushstroke style. It's Clone Stamp 2.0. Stable Diffusion doesn't understand how to integrate together images, it doesn't understand how to create images with all the techniques artists use to make a coherent image.
If you took the basic shapes of a miyasaki film, frame by frame, like a young girl with a pig, or a young girl with a dragon and fed those shapes into the filter, you wouldn't get the miyasaki film back out of the algorithm. SD flattens, freezes and arbitrarily recreates.
This isn't art, this is a frozen heart. There is a sneaking idea among the heart of our youth, that you could capture and recreate all vision in words. Isn't possible.
