Abstract
The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted creative communities such as illustration, manga, and painting, particularly driving a surge in AI-driven image generation. However, the application of AI technology has also sparked debates regarding creators' rights, aesthetic standards, and its influence on creative community culture, leading to both supportive and opposing perspectives. This study collects and analyzes information and trends from selected Asian illustration communities on platforms such as Facebook groups in Taiwan, Pixiv in Japan, and X (Twitter) to explore how AI-generated art affects creators’ work processes and aesthetic values. It also examines the acceptance and controversy surrounding AI-generated art within these creative circles. The key research focuses include: (1) discussing the supportive and opposing viewpoints on AI within creative communities, (2) examining the challenges AI-generated art poses to aesthetic standards and creative expression, and (3) exploring how creators adapt to or resist AI technology. This paper aims to investigate how AI-generated technology influences the adaptation and transformation of these creative communities, its potential long-term impact, and possible approaches to achieving a balanced perspective.
