AI Anime Won’t Save Artists. It’ll Just Automate Their Exploitation.

AI anime generation is technically stunning β€” smooth, glossy, just wrong enough to unsettle. But the real story isn’t the technology. It’s the economics.

You’re Watching Tarantino Wrong. Close Your Eyes.

Tarantino’s films aren’t visual masterpieces with great soundtracks β€” they’re audio experiences that happen to have pictures.
