Japanese cartoonists in trouble over recent use of AI

These days, there’s an article in Japan and an uproar on Twitter because of this.

I didn’t know the details of that conversation because I didn’t see it stuffed, but something like this happened.

I looked it up and found that not only did he retweet a recommendation for that author’s cartoon, but he also retweeted a recent New Year’s drawing, which became a joke.

And as a bonus, it was revealed that Gantz, who usually writes and defends AI, did the same, but he just wrote and remained silent.

For reference, the author Gantz

“Personally, I like creating secondary works of my comics with cosplay or AI drawings because it allows me to feel respect for the work, but I feel disgusted when they are turned into erotic doujinshi even if I draw them by hand. There isn’t even a trace of respect. I really wish they would regulate it.””

I got criticized even more for behaving like that and criticizing the secondary creatives behind the scenes.

What are you both doing now that you’re older?
