Japan is speedrunning destroying a world renowned industry. The scandals about corporations mistreating artists are piling up at this point. A true shame but what else do we expect from late stage capitalism?
It’s not just Japan. It’s all corporations.
This is a collective effort from the owning class to remove humans from art and to make it purely business.
Like the loom example. They didn’t destroy fabric weaving, they just outsourced it to child labourers in third world countries. That what Ai is going to do with all human creations.
Of course it's not just Japan but this is about Anime. It's the best 2D animation the world has to offer right now so the loss in quality will be felt. It's also not just about AI. The corporate space simply does not value creative work other than finding creative ways to raise quarterly profits and that has become increasingly obvious in Japan were many of us thought things would be at least a little different. Nope. Same shit as Disney, just delayed slightly.
Chinese Mo dao zu shi would like a word.
