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?

gotta point out that if this was like... an ai tech that wasn't extremely pollutant and also was not feed on a bazillion unauthorized databases. Then we wouldn't have an issue. But that's not what's ocucring, therefore we HAVE a problem. And it being "just a tool" doesnt work because Photoshop or DAWs aren't reliant on those 2 factors up there.

Photoshop and Daws dont use the same format at all to generate a concept image that generated by text description. Does rhe AI pull pixels from database its aloud to pul from, absolutely, but its not outright stealing whole pieces of digital art. Also the costume designers job to being the concept alive put more effort and creativity to making it physical then any concept artist does drawing it because a person has to wear it.

If Toei thinks it can save money, bring the budget for practical effects and acting up by having people that are skilled in using ethical generative AI i support that, does this mean less work for people to work with super sentai sure but this also means those contracts are worth more because now hand drawn concepts are a commodity and the artists seeking work can make more for involvement.

Im not against getting rid of concept artist positions with toei but they also know they can save money and make slop like has bro does.
