【WPMの測定手順】
1. 読む前に設問を確認する
2. 時計(ストップウォッチ)を見ながら、英文を最初から最後まで読み、かかった秒数を記録する
3. 設問に解答する
4. 答え合わせをして正解数を確認する
以下の計算式でWPMを算出する
WPM = 語数 ÷ 読むのにかかった秒数 × 60 × 正解数 ÷ 設問数
※読んだ内容の理解を測定せずただ英文を読むスピードをチェックしたい場合は、WPM = 語数 ÷ 読むのにかかった秒数 × 60 まででOK。
The Limits of Ghibli-Style AI Images: What Hayao Miyazaki Knows
Since the launch of GPT-4o, the internet has been filled with Studio Ghibli-style images made by AI. While these images look beautiful and nostalgic, they raise important questions about art and originality. Hayao Miyazaki, the legendary director who founded Studio Ghibli, believes in the value of hand-drawn animation and emotional storytelling. Ghibli movies are famous for their unique colors, detailed artwork, and deep stories that remind people of childhood and growing up.
Recently, AI can create pictures that closely copy the Ghibli style. OpenAI’s GPT-4o can turn normal photos into anime-like images with convincing details. Many people started posting their “Ghibli-fied” photos on social media, making the trend very popular. However, there are some problems. First, AI images can be so realistic that people might forget they are only copies, not real Ghibli art. Second, using Miyazaki’s style without permission could be a copyright issue.
Miyazaki himself has said that AI animation tools are “an insult to life itself.” This shows his strong belief that true art comes from human creativity and experience, not just machines. Even though technology keeps improving, it cannot replace the feeling and meaning found in original works. In the end, Ghibli movies like Spirited Away and The Boy and the Heron show the value of human touch and creativity, which AI cannot truly imitate. (219 words)
