I don’t doubt that it really is a criticism that’s being floated now, but I think it’s much more likely that that’s just AI pimps sensing an opportunity rather than an actual criticism made by people who were actually involved.
Not only is it the case that AI couldn’t do anything about mismanagement of budget, but AI couldn’t even really do much of anything at all, since all of the roles that AI can play in that sort of production have been filled in the anime industry for years or even decades now by purpose-built software. So to the degree that the problem might be a failure to use technological tools, it still wouldn’t be a failure to use AI specifically, since they wouldn’t have used AI anyway - they would’ve used the tools that already existed back when AI was still just a techbro fantasy.
Yeah - that one struck me as suspect at best.
