Credit Where?
prevnextGet Roasted. "Labor shortage" is bullshit. Also leaving our artists' names and calling them "human" is the most dehumanizing and disrespectful way to 'credit' shame on you#aiart #unethicalai #BoycottDogandBoy https://t.co/5UInOqUSZF

All Those in Favor of Exploitation?
prevnextThere wouldn't be such a tremendous anime labor shortage if the burnout rate wasn't so fucking high. AI background don't help with problems like crushing deadlines, starvation wages and disregard for the health of workers. Fuck Netflix for supporting this exploitive nonsense. https://t.co/heKrasbHvD

Yikes
prevnextsome important context for why netflix might be experiencing a labor shortage in the anime industry: average entry level animators are paid ~$2/image
instead of offering better pay, they teamed up with the spy x family co-studio to produce anime with AIhttps://t.co/U61ePTDva9

Shortage or Profit?
prevnextNetflix Japan used AI to make an anime and claimed it was because of a “labor shortage” — meanwhile animators are making as little as $200/month and burning out while the industry hits record high profits https://t.co/ZJhj2dJFcO

Uh Oh
prevAI is *already* taking jobs from animators!
Unless we STAND UP to corporations they will eliminate HUMAN ARTISTS from the art form we love.
Speak out! Yell at @NetflixJP
