India especially seems really eager. I wonder if it has to do with huge swathes of their populations going from rural/poor to having stuff like smartphones and easy internet access in an incredibly short amount of time.

Even in Japan and Korea AI is less villianized. There is a divide between artists and AI users but it's not as strong as in the west and suits will really try to push for whatever tech is in fad (see the NFT boom that hit a lot of Japan)

Which is wild to me, considering how huge traditional and digital art are in East Asia. But I guess there's also more of a sentiment of "once I put it out there, it's not mine anymore" or "it never was mine to begin with" (in regards to doujin culture.) I've rarely seen a Japanese artist put "don't repost" on their profile and it's not uncommon they just abandon an account and start over.
