My opinions about many things always change from time to time, but if there's one thing that my opinion hasn't changed about, is AI, since 2022 (or 2023), my opinions about it remain the same. This is something I wrote almost a full year ago:

“This doesn't even scare me anymore, it just straight disappoints me, whatever they will do after Nozawa passes away, it won't impress me any bit if they use AI as replacement, I know that's just the natural law of technological evolution, it's the future and there's no way to avoid it, it keeps getting better and better and it will eventually be much cheaper to use AI rather than actual human effort, I understand it, so I'm not even going to touch the "AI is bad/threat" discussion.

But the day Dragon Ball becomes AI generated, not only in voices, but in all of its artistic features and composition, I'll just give up and live with the old stuff only, I have my personal limits of acceptance, not saying that I'm against it and the people who like it, I have no problem if people enjoy this, it's fine, be happy with your robot stuff. With acceptance I refer to myself, I don't need AI nor I want it, I'm more than happy by putting effort into my drawings and by praising the work of actual artists, I'm definitely not going to be forced into this shit.”

I wouldn't change a single word from what I wrote above, okay, maybe there's only one thing that I would change, “This doesn't even scare me anymore”, no, I now believe it does scare me, when I wrote that, the event that happened to me on January 2025 sstilldidn't happen, when I “panicked” after seeing a lot of people in the same place at the same time appreciating China's new text AI. 

Now, fortunately, if I really feel any frustration because of AI, I at least have the power to keep it to myself, to face it, to deal with it, I hate AI, I despise AI, I wish AI disappeared, but I keep that anger to myself, I don't attack anyone who defends AI, who likes AI, I don't say bad things about these people, I don't wish that something terrible should happen to its creator(s), I know none of this would solve my problem. I know the problem is with myself, only I can solve it, though I do believe AI will be one of the components that will lead us to our end, I can't do anything, so I can't tell people to stop using it, they're free to do what they want, the only thing I want is to not be forced into AI, just like I said nearly a year ago, I want respect from those who like it, just like how I respect those who like it.

Also, just because I hate AI, it doesn't mean I agree with those who hate it too, at least not 100%, for example, Derpibooru and some other Art / Image Sites banned AI generated images, Derpibooru from what I saw, had some reasons to ban these images, but I highly doubt that the controversy about such images wasn't a reason for them to be banned. In case i'm right, I don't agree with Derpibooru's decision, because the site has a “black list” option that allows users to ignore specific tags from the site, making them not see the images marked with these tags, it's what I used to hide the AI generated images from my viewing before the site banned them. If this is an option, then there was no reason to ban them. I personally think AI images could be automatically blacklisted in these sites, and those who like to see them would need to remove them from the blacklist to see them. Or just have an option to activate them. Just because I dislike it, it doesn't mean I agree that people should stop seeing or sharing it ~☆
