According to Miyazaki's longtime collaborator, the director limits outside information while working, particularly during production of The Boy and the Heron. Suzuki said he had declined numerous interview requests about the AI image trend because he expected interest to fade.
The producer also questioned the images' lasting artistic value and argued that technology could not replace Miyazaki's creative approach. Those are Suzuki's assessments rather than a new statement delivered directly by the filmmaker.
The report distinguishes this account from older footage showing Miyazaki reacting negatively to an AI animation experiment. His exposure to that demonstration does not establish that he has been following today's generative platforms.
