As a massively beloved manga creator, even One Piece’s Eiichiro Oda was not spared fan backlash this week after posting a video that was made by AI.On Dec. 21, 2023, a video posted by the One Piece manga staff account on X (formerly Twitter) was widely criticized for an AI-created song. Titled “YO-HO-HO, We’re Pirates,” the song was written, composed and performed by an AI-synthesized voice. The track contains a mix of Japanese and English, with lines such as “Sailing the ocean, free and bold. With dreams of treasure and stories untold,” before ending with the revelation that Oda specifically created it. The video has been viewed over 6.6 million times to date, resulting in more than 3,000 largely negative quote tweets.As the latter tweets showcase, Oda’s use of AI is especially relevant given the recent announcement of the One Piece remake. Film: Red animation director Hiromi Ishigami voiced their discontent with the new anime, saying it would waste the efforts of the One Piece staff currently working on the series. This would be especially egregious if, as many fans suspect, past art was used to train AI. Fans say this is a real possibility given WIT Studios’ statement that The One Piece will use ‘cutting edge technology’ in its production. With the anime industry continuing to embrace this technology for a variety of reasons, as seen with Attack on Titan voice actor Yuki Kaji starting a new voice synthesizer project and the use of AI in Chainsaw Man resurfacing last week, this will continue to be a controversial topic for the foreseeable future.
