Imagine being a group or solo scanlator that was banned for using AI tools on a chapter and then they see the AI girlfriend ad. Talk about whiplash and mixed signals.

There's a bit more nuance to 'using AI' on the chapters than just 'don't' - a one-pass tool that translates and typesets the speech bubbles automatically is forbidden, but use of AI for individual steps is permitted (hence the absurd number of AI translations). But I see your point.

Ya this was all implied.

Kinda figured you knew, but wanted to spell it out for anyone who didn't (on the off chance someone around here misunderstood something, not that such a thing would ever happen).

On the flip side of the 'why are we doing this again?' argument, if MD gets funds to keep the servers up without resorting to heinous rate or access limits, and no one's being forced to use the product or shown anything that's more spicy than some of the cover images for the Slop Ten directly above the banner, I'm thinking 'shut up and take their money!' isn't the worst possible response. I get some people are way more anti-AI [art, chatbot, everything] than I am, but I'm inclined to take the view that the market will sort things out in its own time. Just my personal opinion, and I'm not going to get too worked up when a bunch of people here disagree strongly so long as the discussion remains civil.

Hypocrisy of running the ad aside, I have serious ethical concerns about promoting something that can induce psychosis. That's my big hangup.
