Raw LLM Responses

@fnhatic6694 The thing you're currently missing in this argument is that the filler you hate in older long-running anime like Dragon Ball, Naruto isn’t caused by artists being ‘lazy’, but as a symptom of outdated business models. These series were designed to air weekly for years, stretching 15 pages of manga into 20 minutes of TV. When the source material can’t keep up, studios pad episodes with filler to avoid catching up to the manga, the episodes become slowed down and you get a ton of even entire unnecessary filler episodes. Modern anime like Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen show that this critique is already outdated even without AI. Seasonal formats let studios adapt completed arcs without filler in which they priorize quality over endless runtime. Even One Piece’s upcoming remake by Wit Studio will likely be seasonal and be a whole lot shorter because of that. The issue isn’t ‘too many humans drawing frames’, it’s just capitalism incentivizing quantity over quality because more runtime = more profit. I'm actually worried about the exact opposite with AI: If studios can generate infinite frames cheaply they’ll exploit that to pump out more content, not better content. Just look at youtube and the ton of AI-generated content or the ton of ai-generated images that have flooded the internet. That's the entire issue with my original point that more entertainment isn't better entertainment. Platforms like Netflix prioritize ‘engagement hours’ over artistry, "more and longer = better" similar to Dragon Ball. When we point out “filler” in older anime, it’s not because human animators were too lazy to draw unique frames, but because studios had to hit their broadcast slots. If AI stepped in today, it wouldn’t magically solve that scheduling issue—it would just produce even more “digital filler” on a faster timeline. I'm not totally anti-tech, I could see a middle-ground as something good probably. I think AI could be helping with certain in-betweens: studios could use it to rough out motion, then have humans polish key passes and critical cuts for example.This middle ground preserves what people love, the human intention and touches while responsibly leveraging AI to reduce burnout on the truly most tedious tasks. I personally just would like the majority of the entire work be done by humans and I think there's many people that value the human-touches.
