ai scans needs to stop

Cemelio Cemelio 2026-06-01 17:47:09 About question
why are letting ai scan these yaois, bro. we are already reading here unethically, and we're still letting ai do more unethical works? i miss when scanners/uploaders/translators used to fight to have the upload rights that are like so grainy and blurry. at least it was honest work back then

Don't listen to the other person, These ai scanlation groups still feed the author's art into ai. If we're gonna read by pirating anyway it's better to atleast not disrespect their work by feeding it into ai, most people can't afford to buy works but you most definitely can translate things by hand even if it's messy

yes! I don't really mind the other comment as every comment is a new thought being shared. as I was saying, that was exactly my point, but turns out I didn't delivered well. we're already not helping these authors by reading it illegally, so I hope we can still give them some honor by not feeding their hardwork through ai.

"disrespect their work" is this a joke? pretty sure the artist cares about most about getting paid. you guys are hating on ai because you want the quality without the cost. lets be real. i'm not saying that i'm for ai, but we need to stop acting like we are any better for stealing from artists.

it seems that you didn't get my full point. as I was saying, I am much worried for the works getting fed into ai. and also, I don't mind the ass quality to begin with, hence why I said what I said in the last part of my post. don't worry, I also get your point and you're right. I do try my best to buy episodes in lezhin whenever I have money to spare.

So you want to keep using ai...? What's your point? Using ai isn't gonna benefit anyone except the scanlation groups....they even upload over uploaders who upload official chapters which were PAID by the way, that isn't wrong?

it's good to know that you also buy episodes when you can. you're a lot better than me. if you don't mind answering, can you elaborate on your issue with works getting fed to ai specifically? there's still a lot i dont really understand about the process.

just to be clear, like i said, i am NOT for ai. it looks like you're trying to say that uploaders pay for official chapters so it's not stealing, but consider all the readers that read those chapter for free when they could have paid. that is stealing. my point is that the artist is losing money regardless. im not trying to act holier than thou or anything, i steal too. i just noticed some hypocrisy and thought i would say something about it. have a good day sir(or ma'am or non-binary)

So far, I've noticed the amount of ai scanlators. many translation are actually ai generated or translated by ai and it's very obvious with the patterns of the way the conversations in the bubble speech are delivered. If you were to also check the groups that does these scanlators, they do not credits anyone and it's always "anonymous" works. some of them also have ai generated picture for the said groups. I fear that they might have been feeding the works of the artist into ai, because they're group is very sketchy.

imagine happily reading pirated content and then complaining about the ethics of it lmao

Cemelio June 1, 2026 5:52 pm

I said ethics just because. it's more of a word play. what i meant is why are we using ai. I am much more against ai scanners than the said ethics. what's worse is the possibility of these works getting fed into ai just so they can scan/translate it. (I apologize for my wordings)
