Japanese creatives are now heavily split on LLMs. What with half taken to defend their work with watermarks and proofs of timelapses and manual processes, and there’s fierce loyalty for Miyazaki et. al.

So its really just the same “actual artist” vs “horny gooner dumbass” split that has plagued Japanese media for decades 😭
