Integrated analysis: What is happening now

Common structure: The line between ``users'' of generative AI is being questioned simultaneously by creators, audiences, and platforms. - Religious leaders, actors, and screenwriters discuss the limits of AI in terms of human creativity and emotional depth. - In the game field, AGF received backlash from fans for using AI-generated videos while advocating ``human-centeredness.'' At Wizards of the Coast, the union is pushing for the adoption of AI. The problem is the discrepancy between the word and its actual usage. - VRChat is updating its guidelines in response to concerns about adulteration and thumbnail fraud. The order is that the rules are set after a problem occurs. - On the other hand, Abundantia Entertainment's AiOn independent studio, Absen's AI museum, Google Flow Music, and AI music video generation tools demonstrate the increasing integration of AI in production and exhibition.

Points that change the reader's judgment: - Today's movements cannot be explained solely by the conflict of "for or against AI." The debate has shifted to where AI should be used and how to explain it. - The target of criticism may be the discrepancy between stated policy and actual usage rather than the use of AI itself (as inferred from the headline). - The number of tools for creators (plug-in creation, audio generation) is increasing, and there are both ways to use AI as a tool for creators and to use it as a replacement.
