Speaking about societal evils, I think that as AI continues to spread throughout society, we'll be seeing an increasingly shady world filled with scammers exploiting it. Recently, I saw a drawing and thought, “This is something I drew, right?” I was shocked to learn it was actually made by AI. When I draw manga, I add subtle elements that make the work uniquely mine. But this AI-generated piece even mimicked details like the way I draw eyelashes, so precisely that it was almost impossible to tell it apart from my work. If it were based on recent drawings, I’d know right away, “No, I didn’t draw this.” On the other hand, I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if it were done with my art from about ten years ago, when my memory of it would be a little hazy. The more AI advances, the more this kind of thing will happen.

Art reflects the times, and manga is one example of that. Seeing this world of con artists appear in manga could very well mean that we’re headed for a future world dominated by fraudsters. This type of evil in today’s age will undoubtedly end up impacting manga down the line.

Copyright infringement by AI is also a villain that we manga artists must face. The extreme scenario is that AI-generated fakes might start being accepted as the real thing, and even if we try to protect our work, these counterfeits are becoming so accurate and sophisticated that it’s no longer a fight an individual can win. Having some kind of laws would probably be the only way to regulate this. However, because we’re dealing with a world of con artists, there’s also a very real possibility that laws favoring them will appear before we know it. Personally, I entrust my copyright management to Shueisha, but some manga artists are lax in managing their copyrights, leading to others using their artwork without permission or even leaking original drawings. When I see that, I worry that they might face serious trouble down the line if they don’t take it more seriously.

Hirohiko Araki on the evil of AI art in today's "world of con artists". He worries about the impact AI-generated fakes will have on manga. He recently saw an AI image and was shocked at its similarity to his art style.

It’s funny seeing people on Twitter be like “Lol Bluesky people will be back in a few days”

I think it’s safe to say many won’t fully abandon Twitter, but it’s nice to log onto an app and not worry about seeing blatant racism with 50k likes

Just started playing Death Stranding after it finally released on Xbox, really interesting world and ideas and way different than I expected. Loving it so far though!

Whenever I see a youtuber, streamer or even person here say 'There's no good games anymore', I feel like I'm losing my mind. I am DROWNING in amazing games that I struggle to split my time between.

If you're out of stuff to play, tell me what you vibe with and I'll help you find something fresh.

re-watching twin peaks and playing bioshock on my switch in an effort to disassociate into a past era
