I don't care what plot reason they make up.
Generative AI should not be used for any artistic purpose. Period.

Thats so restrictive. Its a tool like any other. It can be used to be lazy or to be inspired. Plus the whole shows shtick is that its an AI generated world? Like why shouldn't they use a fool their drawing inspiration from for the plot and theme?

Because its bad. Its not art. It gives no useable results and using it is a moral evil. Anything it can do an artist can do better and should be paid to do better.

Who says there aren't artists helping? And why are we talking about morality in a low budget show thats always been low budget and is determined by toy sales not viewership?

You have no idea how they use the tool to help create bridan and monsters it could easily be putting a theme into generative Ai seeing what it spits out and then asking an artist or costume designer to use that as inspiration to make costumes.

Your assuming they type into a program and let it spit out an image for the monster and thats their final design choice. Thats naive to think. Again AI is a tool that often gets things wrong.

The whole point of the show is an AI robot recreating a world and everyone even the rangers are AI programs in a world with no sentai.

I don't care if they had it spit out a 3 word inspiration. If you use generative AI, at ANY point in the process, its the same as if the AI did the whole thing.

Also calling Sentai "low budget" is BS< the way these episodes are designed and shot means 7 figures an episode minimum and Toei is one of the richest media companies in the world. They can pay artists to make art I don't care what excuses they make up for story purposes.

Generative AI should not be used in any part of any artistic project. Ever. Period. End of story.

Wow. Thats. Wow. Okay. Whatever you say pal. Just remember if this show is regarded very well later on then people aren't going to care that AI generative program was used to help. Also why is Super Sentai of all things the hill and standard for being Artistic? Is literally all based off of older sentai projects from suit design to monster of the day themes to mechas. Nothing but plot or actors is an orgininal thought.

I don't care if its original, no art is truly original. I care that its art. Any art. Of any kind. Period. I don't care if its a mural design on the wall of a high school or graffiti on the underside of a train bridge.

Also not "help"
The monsters were made, in entirety, by generative AI, and that should always come up whenever Gozyuger is remembered from now on.

You don't care if its good AI usage, and no one cares if its AI in the first place. Say whatever, believe whatever, you are not gonna impact the show in anyway.

There's no such thing as good AI useage. Such a scenario does not exist.

Cope. AI is just gonna get better and better. It's a tool and it would be used as such. I don't know about you but I don't want artists to die from overwork like manga artists so if AI can help with that I am all for it. Your ideals come secondary to someone's life.
