For more context to whoever is interested, the dialogue following the quote goes like this:

  Studio Ghibli producer, Suzuki: "So, what is your goal?"
  ML Developer: "Well, we would like to build a machine that can draw pictures like humans do."
    <jump cut>
   Miyazaki VO: "I feel like we are nearing to the end of times."
                "We humans are losing faith in ourselves."

Of course, the form of AI has changed over the years, but the claim that this quote could be tied to Miyazaki's general view on having machines create art is not totally baseless.
