Streamer LEON Admits Using Shiromanta's Art for AI After Lying
Streamer LEON representative admitted on Sept 3 that he used an illustration gifted by manga artist Shiromanta for AI image generation, and acknowledged giving false explanations when asked. Shiromanta, known for My Senpai is Annoying, streamed that night and said he does not intend to opine on AI use itself, but that being lied to by a friend was very sad and unacceptable. The admission followed confirmation by fellow streamer Kenki, who checked with LEON representative after Shiromanta flagged the image.
