Black Jack has unveiled a partially AI-generated chapter to commemorate the manga series’ 50th anniversary, originally written by pioneering artist Osamu Tezuka.Per Comic Natalie, Tezuka Productions revealed the 32-page one-shot chapter, titled Black Jack Kikai no Shinzo – Heartbeat Mark II, at Keio’s University Mita Campus in Tokyo, Japan. Heartbeat Mark II is a collaborative project developed by Tezuka Productions and Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, which utilized an AI based on the ChatGPT-4 model trained with the use of Black Jack creator Osamu Tezuka’s previous works as a dataset. This is notably the first time an AI-generation tool was used to produce a chapter for the classic manga series.Makoto Tezuka (officially romanized as Macoto Tezka), the son of Osamu Tezuka and current director of Tezuka Productions, claimed he was surprised at the details the AI included in the one-shot. Tezka believes the AI captured many of the nuances and themes his beloved father previously incorporated into his manga series, with the director explaining how Heartbeat Mark II emphasized the dignity of living things in its narrative — a core element of Tezuka’s manga. While Tezka believes the AI-generated story fell short of the quality delivered by Black Jack’s creator in many aspects, he also stated that the one-shot would not exist without AI, speaking on how the tool could be developed to better emulate his father’s legendary style.Slayers Artist Rui Araizumi Fights Back Against AI Accusations
