While living in Korea, I have been utterly blind by this app taking over Korea. Sure, I am not a teenager, but as a person who studied AI and do research on it, I am dumbfounded by this news. I knew Ani is a thing on X, but it never caught my attention because AI has been always work-related, not an entertainment to me. This is concerning to say the least.
