we like complaining about ai art (rightfully) but may i propose bitching about how every new vocal synth is adveritsed as ai (and almost always sounds mediocre)
the timeline of my (unreleased) utau, nekotamashi (formerly okante and tsukitamashi) vera. working on a vcv voicebank for her. i don't promise i'll ever finish it
all art under the cut
2020: her original 2 concept photos, when she was planned to be a deepvocal voicebank. deepvocal... isn't very good and i couldnt figure out the vb making process so she moved to utau. CV voicebank
her inital demo was BAD like we're talking HORRENDOUS (here is a section of it):
2021: act 2. she never got a vb, also her surname was changed to tsukitamashi (moon soul) during this bc i wanted her surname to have meaning
2022: surname changed to nekotamashi, cat soul. recorded on my laptop mic. CV voicebank. sample:

2022: her most recent post-development version. privately distrubuted. CV voicebank. sample (made by my friend in openutau, got permission to share:)

2022: vcv voicebank in devopment. not much to say here other than her design is consistent now
