This is such an important conversation. There is no art without human artists! Period.

I have been an anime fan since childhood and boy, it takes time and resilience to animate an episode. It takes almost a month of work to draw and animate an episode with top-notch animation.

I think that technology can help ease the work load of anime artists and facilitate their creativity and can give them time off work, however, the human touch shouldn't be done away with either.

As an artist, I don't want AI to take over us. It would better if it given artist as a tool to help fasten their work, instead of replacing artist.

Initially, when AI was taking over we all thought tech people will lose their jobs and but as AI is taking over different creative people and artists are losing their jobs. Sad

How long are we going to allow corporations to do this?

If it wasn't made by a human I'm not watching it

Welp, that’s one less show I refuse to watch.

AI is way way more efficient and it'll Definitely replace humans. Nobody cares about artists.

Money = Power
Power = Money
