Vishal took to his Instagram stories to criticize the current trend. The music composer urged his followers not to tag him in posts that showcase his Ghibli-style avatar.

"I regret to inform you that I will not be sharing any of the Studio Ghibli-style images you have created of or for me. I cannot support the appropriation of an artist's lifetime of work by AI," Vishal expressed in his message.

Additionally, the singer highlighted the environmental impact of AI, stating, "Let’s not overlook the ecological devastation caused by these images. Please refrain from creating any more. Thank you."

Numerous celebrities, such as Kiara Advani and Parineeti Chopra, posted their Ghibli-inspired images on social media.
