I think “Look Back” by Tatsuki Fujimoto is a perfect example of why AI will never truly replace artists. It was a beautiful story the first time I read it, and then some amazing people turned into an equally amazing movie that I loved just as much the second time around. Then, I learned about a lot of little tidbits about the story. If you take the main characters names, Fujino and Kyomoto, and stick the prefix and suffix together, you get Fujimoto; the name of the author. The girls are representations of Fujimoto and the struggles he faced while pursuing his craft. I can relate heavily with those struggles, as an artist myself. Another thing that hit me was the attack on the art school at the end of the movie, spurred on by a man’s anger at a perceived plagiarism of his work. This was extremely reminiscent of the KyoAni arson that killed 36 individuals, something that Fujimoto has stated had a large effect on him. The third time I watched Look Back, it hit me much harder than the first two times, with all of this new context in mind. The story was greatly influenced by human struggles and pain, something that AI does not experience. It was a story about the toll that art can take on people, and the beauty it can provide them. These things can only be appreciated by people, not a robot. To claim that art is simply a product is ignorance. The people who make art, the things they have experienced, the pain, the loss…that’s what makes art, art.
