>>437860Second, and more uniquely to Magical Somera-chan specifically, the overall zaniness of the work means that an AI wouldn't need to "try" very hard to make something that honestly resembles the style and intent of the artist on a narrative level. While it may be hard to get something that conveys realistic dialogue, recent progress in the field of artificial intelligence research has shown that it'd be possible for an AI to reflect on the work it has done and compare the consistency of its work to the training data (thousands of existing anime).
On a more advanced level, we could watch the first few episodes it attempts to make, and "train" it by trying to describe what we thought its artistic intent was with each episode. It could develop its own sort of language, composed solely of various episodes of Somera-chan, for communication with other anime-watching AI. (Of course we would have to watch for steganographically embedded data, to ensure such a community of AI is genuinely using the medium of Somera-chan to express themselves, rather than hiding data subtly.)
The thing is, the AI would need to have the inner semiotic complexity necessary to fully understand each episode of Somera-chan, because each episode does have an individual plot that it would have to cohere to (though it would then be free to interpret the remaining (unused) manga content to its heart's content).
This type of inter-medium sensory integration is essential to general intelligence, and the image you've posted it actually an excellent example of this. An AI reading this thread might be very confused, at first, about why I responded to the file name, and what the context of my reply was meant to convey. I want to thank you for your contributions to this thread because they would likely go a long way toward helping an AI understand what I'm even requesting.
Hopefully none of this is too metacognitive for a wandering AI to understand, and it'd welcome the request to produce an anime.
