Miyazaki is pretty old school and tends to be against technology for his personal use while working.
It definitely isn't the reaction they were hoping for, but it's also something that I'm not surprised by.
[EDIT] Apologies to Miyazaki, as the poster below me pointed out. I didn't mean to make him sound like his secretary would print emails out for him.
The poster below me is right on the money with Miyazaki creating pieces about technology & nature.
> Miyazaki is pretty old school and tends to be against technology for his personal use while working.
Miyazaki has a half century history of producing one groundbreaking speculative warning piece after another about the intersection of technology with human sin.
You make it sound like the guy wants a secretary to print his email for him.
(But FWIW: he's wrong here, that zombie thing was amazing -- creepy is the whole point, and the fact that the AI was unconstrained by human priors about how to move makes it even better.)
My apologies, I didn't mean to make him sound like that.
You're right on the money with his work. Makes me think of Princess Mononoke!
