As a fan of early Layton and Youkai Watch, it’s been depressing to see Level 5’s enthusiasm for gen AI. But considering the CEO’s stance and statements throughout his career, his decision was not unexpected after all. I just feel pity for the talented employees.

tbh I’m surprised that Level 5 had not faced backlash until this winter in the western world. They proudly announced that they’re using gen AI (Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT) for Inazuma Eleven and Yokai Watch two years ago.

My son(9) right before falling asleep: papa.
Me: yes?
Son: if people could teleport, they wouldn’t be the same person anymore. Their body would be broken down and reassembled but their memories would be the same.
Me: ………okay

Heartbreaking words from Dr. STONE mangaka Boichi, who decided to stop posting art on X because of the implementation of the GenAI Edit button
and who has been so distressed by its hostile, destructive purpose to destroy other artists' works that he hasn't been able to eat properly since Christmas😢

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.
I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.
Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.
Maybe that's the point.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

“We just use AI to generate ideas for our concept art”
Yes, you're just using a plagiarism machine that spits out a mishmash of creativity and ideas from thousands of creative people who didn't consent to their work being used in this way. And you're using this as the foundation for your game. 💀
