Henya mom emergency [0:14]
Henya had to cancel a stream because her mother was taken to the hospital by ambulance. She later updated fans, mentioning her mother would remain in the hospital for a while but was okay. Henya expressed gratitude for the support and well-wishes from her fans, and it was noted that she would be taking some time off to focus on her family.
Hololive AI Controversy [2:06]
Hololive faced a controversy involving the use of generative AI in their art. This issue gained attention during a recent Hololive concert. It was revealed that a third-party contractor used AI to generate backgrounds and other parts of the artwork. Examples include AI artifacts in Terra's artwork, such as unbalanced eye details, anatomically incorrect armpits, and six fingers on N Rico Bay's acrylic stand. The Hololive Dodgers collab also had AI-generated scenes in the movie background. While there's no proof of malicious intent, the lack of oversight in checking the art is a concern. Salvi suggests Hololive should implement better checks, such as hiring an in-house artist or using AI art checkers.
