That's logical and expected: that anime style many of them are using is quite "standardized", so I believe a machine can easily generate images of high enough quality.

    Anime is the country music of animation.

    There's some good stuff out there but it's become so homogenized, the average country song sounds exactly like every other country song.

    This is an example of Sturgeon’s Law, which essentially states that “90% of everything is crap.”

    Science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon was defending the merits of his genre, which many people considered full of crap in the 1950s.

    It’s not a country or an anime issue, it’s a law of averages and a curation issue.

    I did not say it was crap. I don't think there's anything wrong with it! It's also not out-group homogeneity.

    The styles are just so well-defined, you can follow a simple formula. Country songs are gonna use the same chord progressions with the same song structure because that's what it is.

    Anime characters have big eyes and hair that defies gravity. They use the same unique-to-anime facial expressions to convey emotions. There's a design language that they follow.

    Maybe a better example: traditional folk music. The styles are already established so the bulk of new music is going to follow the formula.

    Out-group homogeneity has nothing to do with what I was talking about. In fact, what I said was the opposite. That even the in-group often thinks a lot of the content sucks.

    I’m actually not sure you read anything that I wrote, but that’s ok!

    ?? I was saying that your explanation is not what I meant. I made it clear in the first line that I wasn't saying country and anime suck.

    Then I brought up out-group homogeneity because I was about to talk about homogeneity. I wanted to be clear it wasn't that either.

    I read your comment and my response wasn't rude. No need to get snarky.
