AI automation =/= AI generation. the scripts to automatically transcribe voice to text or whether your party character prioritizes Attack or Defense isn't the same as algorithms generating randomized results out of an amalgamation of existing data. conflating them is intentionally misleading.

I came across *the* example I have been hammering with these food delivery robots.
A man with a mobility aid is forced to step aside because there is not room for him because the robot will not make room for a person (esp. those with a mobility aid who need addditional room)

It's so funny to see them try to split the difference between pretending to be really busy and being an AI studio. Yeah...we put in an all nighter...writing prompts! Okay, are you stupid?

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

This is a decision that can only happen when the people who founded the company lost sight of the reason they established this tier / how they themselves started. The whole reason that simulcasting+free ad-supported tiers were innovated in the first place was to deter people from pirating the shows!
Crunchyroll Announced that they are ending the Free Ad-Supported Streaming on December 31st, 2025
(This allowed you to watch certain titles for free without an active sub with ads)
As of reporting there is no changes with the other tiers
