With the prevalence of AI, criminal behaviors in the new era have also been updated. Recently, the Yokohama City Public Prosecutor's Office in Japan announced the prosecution of two people who were suspected of using AI to generate EVA posters for sale. It is reported that they made tens of millions of yen in just half a year.

The two smart suspects were 36 and 40 years old respectively. According to the police investigation, they used AI to generate exquisite posters with the theme of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" six months before the incident, which included some sexy content of the heroine. In just half a year, they made a fortune of up to 10 million yen.
