I really hope the ones in the store are replicas. That woman doesn’t need to be any more unlikable.

This doesn’t mean you can misrepresent facts like this though. The line I quoted is misinformation, and you don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m not trying to sound so aggressive, but it’s the only way I can phrase it.

Generating an AI voice to speak the lines increases that energy cost exponentially.

TTS models are tiny in comparison to LLMs. How does this track? The biggest I could find was Orpheus-TTS that comes in 3B/1B/400M/150M parameter sizes. And they are not using a 600 billion parameter LLM to generate the text for Vader’s responses, that is likely way too big. After generating the text, speech isn’t even a drop in the bucket.

You need to include parameter counts in your calculations. A lot of these assumptions are so wrong it borders on misinformation.

Did someone dare you to do it?

I recommend Bakemono no Ko.

I was thinking that was their man.

Start writing this. You’ll be rich.

It helps to think of fights against monsters as a turn-based encounter. As long as you can dodge or the monster misses its attack, you should be able to land a hit. If you get hit or are too far away when the monster attacks, you probably won’t be able to land any meaningful offense or heal without getting punished for it.

It’s impressive what they were able to do with three year old tools and workflows. The whole thing came together into something oddly cohesive looking, though pretty wobbly.

Right. I all I can find are “parody” subs, which aren’t actually that bad.

It doesn’t seem like anything outside of MBS television in Japan has been announced. I guess we’ll find out when it’s closer to dropping.

Beru got speech to glaze Sung Jinwoo.

Oof. Crazy mods over on AniList.

Twins Hinahima looks interesting. It’s kinda historic too.

He owns a slave.

I haven’t seen anyone mention Isekai Nonbiri Nouka. I thought it was pretty good.

Aura farming is more important than saving lives.

You’re moving the goalposts. Your original reply made no mention of co-authorship by a human, it was just one sweeping statement.

AI art is not protected by copyright, yes. That isn’t a “should” but rather how it actually works in nearly all countries but a few, certainly including the US.

But they do, explicitly:

Many popular AI platforms offer tools that encourage users to select, edit, and adapt AI- generated content in an iterative fashion. Midjourney, for instance, offers what it calls “Vary Region and Remix Prompting,” which allow users to select and regenerate regions of an image with a modified prompt. In the “Getting Started” section of its website, Midjourney provides the following images to demonstrate how these tools work.¹³⁶

Unlike prompts alone, these tools can enable the user to control the selection and placement of individual creative elements. Whether such modifications rise to the minimum standard of originality required under Feist will depend on a case-by-case determination.¹³⁸ In those cases where they do, the output should be copyrightable. Similarly, the inclusion of elements of AI-generated content in a larger human-authored work does not affect the copyrightability of the larger human-authored work as a whole.¹³⁹ For example, a film that includes AI-generated special effects or background artwork is copyrightable, even if the AI effects and artwork separately are not.

This isn’t true. You should read the latest guidance by the United States Copyright Office.
