Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the popular anime and manga series One Piece, has sparked controversy by using artificial intelligence (AI) to create a new song for the series. The song, titled “YO-HO-HO We Pirates,” has divided fans, with some praising Oda’s creativity and others expressing concerns about the use of AI in creative endeavors. This isn’t the first time Oda has experimented with AI, as he previously used the technology for an independent art project. The integration of AI into creative processes is not exclusive to One Piece, as other entertainment platforms such as Marvel and Netflix have also faced criticism for using AI in their productions. The controversy highlights the growing role of AI in shaping the visual and musical elements of animated content.
