> Miyazaki has said over and over that he hates AI image generation
No he has not. He was talking about an AI model that was shown off for crudely animating 3D people in 2016, in a way that he found creepy. If you watch the actual video, you can see the examples that likely set him off here[0].
Mind you, the exact same situation steam faces right now, itch.io had been facing ~3 months ago. If the current state of itch.io is anything to go by, things are still likely to get worse for steam.
Yeah, I find myself disagreeing as well. I think the whole thing also boils down to: If you're self taught and have no achievements, you have no job. So you're not comparing self-taught to academic, but the cream of the crop to the average.
