Ask HN: How will AI affect the manga creation process?

So I read a lot of manga and I have been thinking, there is a story or writing process as well as a drawing process and sometimes you need a team. With the way AI is going (people making videos or even tv shows or movies such as that one person that got Interdimensional Cable from Rick and Morty going on Reddit) like, as someone that has invested skills in drawing and taken courses for creative writing or writers craft etc - I am just wondering how we are gonna incentivize people, like dont get me wrong a lot of top artists have died and making manga should be less impactful to health, see the author of Berserk, Solo Leveling and other people that had to take a hiatus, so maybe AI can help future manga artists and people in this stressful field live longer and healthier lives, but there is also the question about motivation as well as being rational ( I want to be able to product many comics and artwork, but I dont want my health to be affected detrimentally because of it) Just some food or thought. Will be cool to see full fledged animes being made out of manga panels or chapterss or scenes even. Honestly, I have been also thinking about building my own manga reader as well that can incorporate AI too, I really enjoy reading manga on the computer especially on a good monitor with good brightness such as One Piece and more (been watching this since the early 2000s and have been keeping up)

It's very likely to reduce to highly sexualised tropes unless policed by fans seeking more. The evidence is all over feeds in reddit.
