Hard work in drawing is hard to achieve, the fully AI-generated manga "Cyber ​​Momotaro" is released

Apart from the metaverse, the new concept that became popular last year was probably the rise of AI. Various AI system software emerged one after another. Among them, AI image generation software can be called the ultimate killer of human painting art. It doesn’t matter if you can’t draw. Once you are familiar with AI, you can not only make movies, comics, and games, but you can even win traditional painting awards.

Recently, a manga "Cyberpunk Momotaro" that is completely generated by AI images was officially announced to be made into a book. It is scheduled to be released on March 9, which has once again caused heated discussions. This book is completely created using the AI ​​image generation software Midjourney. The author is Rootport, who once created the science fiction story "Otaku Called God" about the struggle to revitalize the earth after the extinction of mankind.

Of course, the point is not whether the story is exciting or not, but that this is a comic book created by software users who can't draw at all. This is "embarrassing" for cartoonists who have worked hard to master traditional comic skills. Moreover, due to the development of technology, the future development prospects of various traditional arts are becoming increasingly unpredictable.
