The issue I see is there are different levels of AI use. Was the story created by AI? Is that different than if the story was edited by AI? Was the whole thing an animated series created by AI? Was it only a transition scene or some minor special effects?
If you just put a blanket AI used YES/NO, that doesn't clarify things enough to make a decision about watching it.
To me, there needs to be some clear standard definitions of levels of use of AI, Maybe something like Fully, Moderate use, Minor use, and None?
To me, AI usage = drop, no matter how much they used it.
For many people it doesn't matter at all, some people can tolerate some minor things. Imo, if we let minor things happen, big things will follow, like in "Agen Kim" where they generated a whole scene including the male lead.
Even if people want to boycott AI it's not going to happen because people will move on eventually, and as I said, most people don't care, let alone tell the difference. So we can never erase AI, but adding a label is a nice feature, and people can decide if they want to watch it or not.
Also, it's hard to tell if it was minor, moderate, or fully used because for that you need to watch the whole thing. Who's gonna do that? Unless we have an official article about the usage level, like in the case of "Agent Kim" it's hard to tell. Even for me as someone who's been working in this industry for a long time. Not to mention, I don't want to watch every drama that is made with AI. That's why I'm starting with the credits, and if I find "AI artists" in the credits, I can add a label.
Some people said "The East Palace" crew used AI to enhance the lighting in the dark scenes, but I didn't find anything in the credits or an article, so I'm not sure if it's true. I think it's safe to say if you find "AI artists" in the credits, they used it at least on a moderate level. I don't think they would add it if it's just minor details, like removing objects or fixing the lighting.
