					<description><![CDATA[I work as translator in the Japanese anime/manga/game industry, and the use of generative AI has been getting a lot of attention. I&#039;ve been watching the development of generative AI technology very closely. Overall, the reaction to generative AI regarding creative activities has been quite negative within the industry in Japan, but some are embracing it as an productivity enhancement tool. The audience is mostly negative against it for now. Some people are using to create new material and some audiences love it, but Japan&#039;s largest online platform for 2D art (pixiv) now requires people to reveal if they use AI in their art. Many the construction of the models inside the AI programs involved theft of intellectual property of the artists.

This is just my personal opinion, but I would add another category to you division regarding businesses and AI. I think some businesses and creators will broadly sell themselves as being non-AI centric.

Just as &quot;handcrafted&quot; is still is a very strong selling point even after decades of industrialization, I believe that will be the case for some industries. AI maybe incorporated into certain phases of the production pipeline, but overall the LACK of AI will be a selling point for some businesses in my opinion. When people hire me as a translator, they want to make sure that my translations are my translations.

When 3D CGI animation became the mainstay of US animation, people felt that hand drawn animation would die out. It&#039;s been over quarter of a century, and Japanese hand drawn animation is still very very popular. The market maybe specialized, but I do think &quot;non-AI&quot; content will remain viable for sometime. Even when general AI comes into being and we have AI counterparts in our lives, the fact that you can (1) derive scarcity and value from that scarcity, and (2) establish authenticity via its creative process are going to be the major reasons why non-AI creations will continue exist and thrive for some time.

Even before AI came into being, content was exploding with better creative tools and sharing technology. And through out this process, the worth of celebrity creators have gone up, not down.

I&#039;ve talked about it more here:
https://dankanemitsu.wordpress.com/2022/10/14/deus-ex-art-machina-ai-art-and-its-implications-on-japanese-otaku-art/

I&#039;ve also written about the major limitation of AI with regards to translating fiction, but that debate can be reserved for a different day...

I hope you don&#039;t mind my possibly totally irreverent observation.]]></description>
