>Speaking on animation, Yasuhiko also gave his thoughts about the emergence of AI and how it relates to the animation process. “I like drawing by hand. I draw manga by hand, too. Filming [animation digitally] has become convenient, and corrections can be made right up until the last minute. It's like a dream,” he began. “If AI can help with anime production, then we should use it. If it doesn't work, we can always fix it by hand later.”>https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2026-04-20/gundam-character-designer-yoshikazu-yasuhiko-talks-venus-wars-new-projects-and-ai-art/.235431
>ANNfucking retard.
>>23825542You got a problem with anime news network?
>>23825534I believe he’s referring to the AI being a simple tool assist for various corrections, you know like how it was MEANT to be, if it looks weird it can be fixed as he said
>>23825549How do you not?
Notice how he doesn't mention how digital and AI look significantly worse than traditional animation
>>23825573>AI being a simple tool assist for various corrections, you know like how it was MEANT to beno. its meant to fully and completely end waged labor forever.
>>23825673>no. its meant to fully and completely end waged labor forever.Yes, that's step one. Step two will require you to face the wall.
>>23825673Good. We don't need these "artists" sucking on the teat of society any longer.Go out and get a real job!
>>23825653I also noticed how he didn't mention you are not a massive faggot.
>>23825549Everyone has an issue with ANN. If you hate culture war flinging shitting up everything and Kotaku levels of bad takes for engagement bait, you would too.
>>23825759ANN is extremely irrelevant, the only person I've seen have a hate boner for ANN is duel because they called him a retard in the forums.
>>23825738You're truly lost to be defending inferior quality crap just get lel epic own on 4chan.
>>23825673It's an enslavement tool. >>23825701After you.>>23825763>they called him a retard in the forumsFor real? Which thread?
>>23825653>digital looks signifgantly worse than traditionalAside from the early period where everyone was just learning how to use it, that's just a matter of opinion.
>>23825882No
>>23825653 >yas glazers bent over backwards on CG animation so that they don't have to badmouth origin >they are now doing the same for AI terrible
>>23825673Nope. Its an accelerator.
>>23825653Probably because they don't
>Reasonable take on AI>How dare you!
>>23825673AI has zero intentions or will of its own. it can't do anything without someone who knows what they're doing to steer it.
>>23825534In theory that's a sane and measured take. But it's also kinda ridiculous since at assumes AI really will be used in just that. Does he seriously expect Japanese work culture to not turn it into another way of driving their employees to starvation or suicide?
>>23826357Enjoy your destitution.
>>23825534What about Tomino's thoughts?
>>23827726What about them?
>>23826373I suspect it's also coming from an old guy that knows very little about it beyond the general sales pitch.
>>23825845We're all going together when we go, as Tom Lehrer put it.>>23827726"AI porn a shit."
>>23825759I just use it for the credits section. You get birthdays and voice actors and staff credits and everything. I think it's great. Just FYI the entertainment industry and artists in general have swung liberal since the beginning of time.
>Everyone has an issue with ANN. If you hate culture war flinging shitting up everything and Kotaku levels of bad takes for engagement bait, you would too.
>>23828011This is somehow one of the most embarrassing things I've seen about him.
>>23825534Only faggoty communists care about AI. If you use it as a tool for corrections like Autotune, electronic instruments, and other such tools, it's no different than any other tool. As long as you're not using it like Indians to create mindless shit en masse to farm advertising revenue it's exactly the same as all the other tools that people crapped on until everyone started using them.
It's funny how there's this talent/accomplishment threshold where the most reknowned creatives at the top look at AI and go, "finally, I don't have to work with artists anymore."
>>23828132Yas is pretty lefty.>>23828136Don't be fooled, "artists" use AI all the time.
>>23828148>Yas is pretty lefty.There is nothing lefty about him. Vague shit like 'being against war' is just common sense, not tied to any particular political stance.
>>23828330>There is nothing lefty about him
>>23828330>>23828399hard btfo
Always knew that duel is a pAIjeet
>>23825534AI is a technology for the old and well-off against the young and striving so it makes sense an old guy wouldn't hate it and the younger people on 4chan would
>>23828438 you get it the newtype generation has already become old and wealthy they just need our generation's yabuki joe to take their soul in battle
>>23828438Exactly this. He already has a pension and can just relax and live the rest of his days doing fun things. Meanwhile AI job loses are coming to Japan soon: >https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20260420/p2g/00m/0bu/011000c
>>23828487Hathaway's Flash couldn't come at a better time. For once, Bandai can pat themselves on the back.
>>23825706>artist is not a real jobI hope the only thing you watch is slop
>>23825653That's because the issue is everything surrounding the digital animation. Scheduling, overproduction, skilled labor shortages, over reliance on overblown compositing over animation fundamentals, etc. Not the tools themselves, which are better overall.
>>23827726He hates it because it keep using the wrong color on the nipples.
>>23828438And don't forget that Yas was also hospitalized when he overworked on Gundam TV production.
>>23825549You don't?
>>23829564No, the issue is digital animation.
>>23825534I like how there's no source and we just have to assume his quote is accurate. Shitty reporting.
>>23830002I remember seeing this news about a month ago in JP circles. ANN is just really late in reporting.
