>"We will never include AI in the process of any Armiger production, nor will we ever knowingly work with partners that include AI in their workflows. Our team consists of artists, musicians, writers, and other creatives of all walks who have honed their skills and craft through hard work and understanding the effect that human experience imparts into what we put out into the world. We fell in love with Tenchi Muyo! decades ago because it touched us as only genuine art can. AI runs against everything we stand for, and we believe it has a caustic effect on anything it touches. Everything we make is part of the creative process, and the hallucinations of a machine have no place in that process."

There is \[debate in the community\](https://x.com/hackthegazelle/status/2074563834199650729) on the concept art.  People say the character designs are inconsistent and other things.

AFAIK, they have denied it multiple times including sending one of their lead voice actors to adamantly claim they don't use AI several weeks ago.

Yesterday they released \[this piece on Twitter\](https://x.com/ArmigerLLC/status/2087214317749882935).

It has become \[contentious again\](https://x.com/TenchisGirls/status/2087344371184050306) or \[here\](https://x.com/TenchisGirls/status/2075231751656587282).

What is the consensus here?
