I just got an idea for a story, but I don't think I'll ever actually make it. One that combines early 2000 anime that have summonable monsters with the idea of original artwork vs AI artwork.
What if there was a world where the more time and soul you put into a drawing, the stronger it would be if you put it into this machine to bring it to life. So like, a 30 minute drawing would turn into a creature that could do odd jobs like carrying you to school or help out in a construction site? A ten minute one could help with putting ingredients in a bowl or cleaning up around the house. Maybe the 30+ hours could be your disaster defenders.
Then, what if the bad guys were the AI ones? Ones created with little to no soul? Maybe created out of maliciousness, or just to try it out? These creatures would be a bit more feral, and probably higher in number. Yes, they'd be weaker due to the smaller amounts of time put into them, but have an army and they could overpower some of the strongest original creations?
What if the main villain was someone who used both AI and their own original works, stuff that they worked extra hard on and decided to use them for malicious reasons.
Maybe my little idea's dumb, lol. Just a passing idea that I'll never actually make. XD
