I like max's written and his overview, but I do think the negativity at the end is overblow.

Yes, people will complain. Yes making a new AI show would be controversial. But nothing worth doing isn't controversial.

All the stuff about "you can't use voice clones, or feature X or whatever" don't apply, IMO.

Just do it anyway, and when you have haters, congradulations, those hates will spread your work further than any fan could.
