Innovation or Erasure? What AI Means for Creative Integrity

The rise of AI has sparked a cultural and economic transformation—but not without controversy. In a recent short video, Dectec founder Bill Inman spotlights a moment that hit home for artists and technologists alike: AI recreating Studio Ghibli’s iconic animation style in seconds.

For some, it was a marvel. For others, a warning sign.

The question isn’t whether AI can do it. It’s whether we understand how to use it.

While creative industries wrestle with whether AI is innovation or erasure, the real threat is passivity. Artists, designers, and creators are being rapidly outpaced by tools like Midjourney and DALL·E. Not because they lack skill—but because many have yet to learn how to integrate and manage these tools effectively.

And that’s where Dectec’s philosophy comes in.

We believe AI should never replace the human spark—but it can amplify it. Our decentralized platforms ensure creators retain ownership over their data, styles, and digital contributions. It’s not just about protection—it’s about power. And participation.

The world is undergoing a $15 trillion transformation driven by artificial intelligenceDectec Executive Summary. But the soul of innovation—the Ghibli touch—still comes from human hands. Artists still matter. So do entrepreneurs. And so do you.

Because if you don’t own your AI future, someone else will.
