Studio Ghibli Hayao Miyazaki
In 2016, NHK (Japan’s public broadcaster, roughly equivalent to the UK’s BBC) aired a special documentary that closely followed Hayao Miyazaki. In one segment, an entrepreneur named Kawakami presented to Miyazaki a CGI clip in which a zombie, having learned its movement through artificial intelligence, crawls around. The presentation briefly became a talking point online after Miyazaki reacted with discomfort.
“The movement is creepy, so I thought it might be usable for a zombie game. If you use this kind of AI, you can get creepy motions that humans couldn’t even imagine,” Kawakami said. In response, Miyazaki began speaking about a friend of his who has a physical disability; his muscles are stiff, even a high-five is difficult. “Thinking of him, I can’t watch this and find it interesting,” he said. “The people who make this aren’t thinking about pain or anything, are they? It’s extremely unpleasant. I feel a profound insult to life.”
The sequence drew mixed reactions online. Some criticized Miyazaki for attacking the CG and for associating a zombie with his friend. Others argued that presenting a zombie to Miyazaki in the first place was a mistake. In any case, I think the scene offered a glimpse of Miyazaki’s prickliness and an inhuman side that crushes opinions opposed to his own.

Thanks for sharing. AI animation is evolving . . . some it might be difficult to discern what is real and what is fake.

What you wrote works, but I feel the use of “inhuman” contradicts the theme of Miyazaki’s words. Instead of “inhuman,” I would use the word “captious,” but the word “captious” is uncommon.

This is great writing! That documentary sounds fascinating!

Studio Ghibli Hayao Miyazaki
I'm not sure what Ghibli is?
In 2016, NHK (Japan’s public broadcaster, roughly equivalent to the UK’s BBC) aired a special documentary that closely followed Hayao Miyazaki.
It might be good to add a phrase or sentence about who Hayao Miyazaki is, for those who don't know him.
In one segment, an entrepreneur named Kawakami presented to Miyazaki a CGI clip in which a zombie, having learned its movement throughtrained by artificial intelligence, crawls around.
This is just a suggestion to simplify the sentence a bit. The original grammar is correct.
