eah thats just dumb they have AI do an entire anime episode, does not surprise me in the slightest it isn’t good. AI is great for problem solving, doing research, but anything that requires you to be creative for, it goes to shit. Just try scrolling through Sora for 5 minutes, you will want to throw your phone off a cliff. It’s not just because people are just trying to mess around, that’s only half the issue, it’s because everything on that app no matter the prompt is the same thing. There is simply no emotion in the time it talks, which is what anime and tv shows what they are, so that entire part is gone because amazon doesn’t want to hire real voice actors and animators. Also, AI is a terrible image generator, it somehow messes everything up and makes people have things like 7 fingers on one hand, I am sure there are mess ups in this anime it made.
