Considering the amount of animes Japan does produce, they could very probably train amazing AIs: they could assist in a significant way the creative process of such studios (look at digital corridor experiment).

Worth to try for a long time and maybe waste a lot of resources.

More than the anime production is that anime-fans are database animals — they catalogue anime to ridiculous degrees. Some of the best image training datasets were always the boorus; anime fans have basically been prepping for ML/AI since the 80s

Japan also ranks 3rd (behind the USA & India, with larger populations) in ChatGPT usage: https://www.demandsage.com/chatgpt-statistics/

There's also been discussion of their government using ChatGPT to reduce red tape: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-18/japan-gov...

It's cool to see Japan and Japanese culture taking techno-optimist stances on AI.

Miyazaki will definitely hate it. The last time someone demoed AI animation he said "I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." [1]

And that was before stuff like GPT-1 or Stable Diffusion exist.
