What? They just found a more expensive way to make anime.

Shooting live action is much more costly than the slave wages you can pay animators in Japan.

"Hiroyuki Moriyama mentioned that wages for artists in their early twenties can be as low as 1.1 million yen (USD$9,500) annually."

From a Tokyo law firm. My own research has found an average closer to 30k. Roughly $15 an hour, or less than my McDonalds pays.

Also all photos edited in photoshop or lightroom since their ML additions in 2018.

Also all written works edited in Google sheets, with grammarly, or Microsoft Word.

All songs edited with auto-tune post 2019.

My point is where is the line? If any ML or ai assistance makes it derivative then I have some bad news for basically everyone. Time to get out the typewriters.

Google being a pioneer in the space doesn't mean they kept up. More likely, they trying to frantically leverage their massive data sets and compute to create a new model.

This will be trivial but look at Microsoft. They bought a huge stake Openai then immediately laid off their internal ai team. With the exception of a few choice individuals, I assume Google is equally bloated.
