Touhou 20 has an Al disclaimer on its Steam page, which means ZUN intentionally used Al

Based Zun, I kneel

Slophou

anti-AI troons will now stay away from touhou

based zun making touhou great again

Don't care.

Using AI is fine and I'm wholeheartedly for ZUN going all the way with it and making a official Touhou game that uses conversational AI which allows us to talk to the Touhou waifus.

One of the core themes of Touhou is preserving tradition and history

One of the prominent lore mechanics of Touhou is that Youkai (many respects are stand ins for certain people) rely on Humans (also stand ins for others) to live

A prominent species of Youkai are the Tengu, which are long-nosed creatures who in Touhou cause tons of trouble for their own self-interests

There is also a Pestilence Goddess who is characterized by her greed, short height, wears a tiny hat, and her name sounds like "Jewn"

A character with Pink, White, and Light Blue color scheme's backstory is their own suicide

Same game she is introduced another character's spell card pattern is literally a fucking swastika

Series mocks the most pro-Israeli US president to date

Not a single DEI character introduced in the entire series

Touhou is far-right core.

The radicaI Ieft are trying to cancel ZUN and (You) for it. Yes, they want to go after (You) too. Look, they’re after Touhou as a whole. They want to blacklist any creators and ordinary people who interact with the franchise with popular support of every website they spew their bullshit on. Expect a sharp decline in any fan content unless (You) help against it.

Holy based!

You HAVE to care, this is huge, you must pick a side, if you don't is like you are supporting the bad guys, you HAVE to care and support our side against computers!!!!!!!

self-exile themselves

that "themselves" is superfluous, you can't self-exile anyone but yourself
this is your average tranny hater, a mongoloid who cannot grasp basic logic

What are you doing?

Nonono. please leave, Zun is the bad guy, please leave the franchise, it ain't worthy anymore

c-creating fake outrage...

blacklisted for harming humans

supporting the far right

??????????????????????????

keep quiet about random texture #40

no one ever notices

be honest about random texture #40

all hell breaks lose

Being honest never pays off.

Anti-AI troons are severally mentally ill.

Th AI he used trains exclusively from copyright-free stock images. There's no issue and anyone who thinks otherwise is an unironic retard.

Yes yes, however...
PAY VOIC-I mean PAY ARTISTS WHAT THEY ARE WORTH (30x the salary regular people make)!!

Using Ai is using Ai, if we allow anything where do we draw the line after

NOOOOOOOO!!! YOU NEED TO PAY AN ARTIST FOR ART!!! YOU CAN'T JUST GENERATE ART FOR FREE!!!! GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!!!!

I love watching drawcels cry about AI art. It's time to update that resume, faggot.

Based. Twitter users have a chance to do something good for once by possibly compelling him to correct course.

What did he even AI? Tuhu games look like they were made in Paint.

where do we draw the line

We draw the line at training with art without the original artist's permission.

We have to do better. Be better.

if the disclaimer didn't exist nobody would ever know, which is funny considering every single modern game uses it and nobody put the disclaimer

I don't get why he would though, Touhou was always about how even a series with bad/mediocre art could make it work and look good

plus the series literally only survives because of the fanartists, feels like kind of a turn for ZUN

supporting the far right

??????

Yes you have to, you have no choice, you can't use computers to overcome your shortcomings, you either have to pay or give up entirely

Probably the backgrounds? Like, how do you even train a model to make art that looks like it was done by a 10 year old?

30x the salary regular people make

who is advocating that artists should get paid 1200000 dollars a year?

AIIIIIIIEEEE STUPID GAIJINS USING AI IS EVIL

its ok if i do it tho

He asked for it

Why would ZUN care what Westerners say?
Japanese doujin culture has kept Touhou running for decades without any foreign money.
Lefty/pol/ can't cancel him, because they have exactly zero impact on him and his work.
...which is probably, why they actually hate it (and Anon Babblenime and Anon Babbleidya and Anon Babblean as a whole).

AI is far right because the left is all about "humans folks"

ZUN proving himself as an artistic visionary again by making use of new tools

Based as usual

That line was already crossed, every big company uses copyrighted works for their AI, look at the Miyazaki shit, hell go to gemini and asks for robots in space, you're gonna get stuff that looks a lot like gundams.

Why did you swap all the lower case Ls and upper case Is in your post?

HARMING HUMANS

lmao, get a rope

The radicaI Ieft are trying to cancel ZUN and (You) for it. Yes, they want to go after (You) too. Look, they’re after Touhou as a whole. They want to blacklist any creators and ordinary people who interact with the franchise with popular support of every website they spew their bullshit on.

nah fuck technofacist and fuck AI.

Can 2hu survive without troons? They must've been like 80% of the fanbase.

>There is also a Pestilence Goddess who is characterized by her greed, short height, wears a tiny hat, and her name sounds like "Jewn"

She is an Arab however

actual artist that makes actual products of value uses ai as a new tool in their repertoire and discloses this fact transparently

people still get mad

these retards will never be satisfied, paying attention to them is a waste of time

proves himself an artistic visionary by not actually drawing something himself or just paying someone else to draw it for him

yeah man so forward thinking, are you also an advocate of using cars in running marathons?

You're not familiar with bluesky, why it exists and what kind of individials use it I take it?

Secondary westerners have nothing to do with Tuhu.

going to buy 30 copies, zun will always be the man.

every big company uses copyrighted works for their AI

And that's exactly what the problem is. If you remove that by training with clear permission (in this case, copyright-free) then there is no issue with AI usage.

I don't like what they are doing either, but there is a big difference between men clothing up as women, because they enjoy it and men literally kidding themselves into thinking they were women.
The former is an odd hobby, the latter is a mental illness, that doesn't get appropriately treated anymore, because politics.

Well that's silly. Touhou already did harm to humans long before the use of AI.

I don't hate ZUN, I just don't get why he used AI just for some backgrounds. If you're using it, either fully commit and cut down on production as much as possible or just don't use it at all. The time saved proompting some backgrounds is probably not noticable at all, just get a stock image and slap some filters on it like everyone else does.

Uh, it’s called the Daytona 500, tard.

Zun can no longer be called an artist after this

so you're saying that AI art and regular art should be separated and not intertwined right?

if we want to live in a society that respects the artist

I don't want to live in such a society. In fact, I would prefer it if all artists starved on the street.

Which takes less time

spending several minutes looking for the right image, then editing

or

slap some shit into the prompt and call it a day

if we allow anything where do we draw the line after

Humanity's spent at least the past 5,000 years drawing lines across the spectrum of possibility to define morality.

killing termites is fine, killing your neighbor is not

It's not that hard.

Touhou 20 has an Al disclaimer on its Steam page

And they're sure it isn't just the new characters throwing a false positive?

Zun can't even be bothered to make backgrounds anymore

Daytona

machine piloted by man

Ai ART

machine piloted by man

Some background textures include Al-generated content.

So what?

imagine using AI for that dogshit artsyle

it was used for the background, retard

Yeah, right

Don't care, it's low effort so why should i even care when the developer clearly doesn't. Should've kept his mouth in the beer mug

Honestly it's retarded if you think about it. The argument for being against AI art is that it's robbing artists of work -- which is to say that the developer should pay actual artists instead. However, when it comes to Touhou, Zun doesn't hire any artists, he does all the art himself and it's shit.
By using AI, Zun is just sparing us of his bad art, nothing more nothing less.

Also, see

The former if we're being honest. AI as a streamlining tool only works if you use it to it's full benefit and automate as much as you possibly can.

It's over dude, embrace it. Touhou is no longer relevant and this might be the final nail

Touhou is far too relevant among doujin communities for this to matter.

all the western troons and mspaint scribble tier japanese artists that flood tags with NO REUPLOAD NO AI TRAINING stamped crap are finally going to fuck off to blue archive or umamusume

Ahhhhh... relief...

among doujin communities

he doesn't know

oh no no no

thread autosaged

2hu has fallen....

Noice

id rather no one but amazing artists post their art

yeah man that's a good way to stagnate the world, if you're not immediately perfect at a hobby then just don't do it right?

you will not talk about video games
you will spam the current trend
you will thank the dbspic poster, the funniest man alive and not the most pathetic newfag mod to ever life

spamming is fun, it's always fomo we are alive even if we are massive losers IRL

you will thank the mods
you will not doxx them
you are not luigi
on minecraft

I'm not disclosing the use of AI in my game. Bethesda didnt so why should I?
