I watched this reel about Ghibli Slop that ended with something like:
"we don't have as a deep of connection as people, we don't care about art as we like to think that we do"
And in a societal level it is obviously true. Almost everybody I know producing AI slop, people telling artist they should use more AI... and I couldn't help but think about Katsura Hoshino, writer of D.Gray-Man.
She got injured ages ago, so the manga i advancing very slowly, and it even has some hiccups like
With the art unfinished and just a draft...
It maybe has to do that I've tried drawing in the past and I'm quite mediocre at it, that I appreciate what artists bring to the table. Seeing those drafts not only make me happy because I see the human-ness of the art, but because makes the complete illustrations even more beautiful and impressive
and this story has made me laugh and cry more than once.
idk, I hope artist dont stop art-ing
and i'm evil so i hope people that support ai feel a little bit of shame
