the “missing the point” meme except it’s for the Interstella 5555 rerelease, and the point being missed is “of course the notoriously shambolic anime industry is using AI to upscale a film; Daft Punk were almost certainly unaware (or, at the very least, unable to do anything about it); none of this would be surprising if you were paying attention to the actual issues with AI and labour” in favour of “I can’t believe Daft Punk would use AI :(“

#Daft Punk #Interstella 5555 #discourse of the fandom variety #yes obviously the (alleged) use of AI in restoring the film is bad for multiple reasons #but people have *got* to stop acting like Daft Punk themselves used the AI #when realistically I wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t made aware of it at all #(and tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t know the obvious-to-us signs of AI use)#TL:DR: you should be getting angry about the exploitation of labour in the anime industry #not blaming DaPu for something they—again—might not have known about #text heavy
