I put a Manga pictures into an Ai driven lineart coloring tool.

Wow. I love your sketch. It's so intriguing.Yo
Also fed it a sketch of my own;
I haven't seen anyone claimed that this an improvement though. The tool is just meant to fill in basic sketches.
It was just interesting that an AI can attempt to fill in more detailed pictures. This is more about the AI than the quality of anything. I just chose manga because it was already black and white.

You're talking about a group of people who deal with life crippling work loads and schedules, that may or may not pay off for them in any meaningful way. I'm pretty sure that they would make use of any tools/tricks that might make their life easier, or bring in some extra money.
Ultimately manga is not typically created with color in mind, so this will always be more of a novelty than an easy "improvement". However I can imagine that if the publisher or creator was able to make extra money selling colored version through this kind of technology, they would pursue it.
Hah! This thing rules. I put in one of my own sketches and I think it colored it pretty well. The algorithm removed some key details that I can draw back in, but I love the colors.

Going to experiment more with it. Thanks for the link, OP.

Return of the Obra Dinn
I would play this version of Obra Dinn if they also redid all the musical cues in an 80s-style synth.
From the Omega City 23 (MegaZone 23) pitch (PDF here):
Also played with Hisashi Eguchi's Sonic design sheet a bit more;
And Milton Knights Robotnik design sheet:
My original sketch (post processed here) was pretty rough and quick - I'm super impressed how much dimension the AI colouring added:

Yea I was surprised as hell when it came out like that. I really dug how the colors came out on it. Shit looks dope.
Anyway tried playing around with the color placer feature. Really like how the red came out on Luffy. Though I'm not a fan of how orange his face is in comparison to his hand and chest.
The Dragon Ball pic was me messing around to see if I could get Freizas orbs to go purple but it ended up turning the backround purple instead lol. Goku's went a lot better. Though I thought I hit navy blue for him but it was really black.
This is a completely separate argument from the coloring tool supposedly being good enough that a professional manga artist would think that they only need to apply a few tweaks afterwards before it's up to their standards.
And as you say yourself, manga isn't really a media with color in mind outside of a few panels once in a while. So the the argument that an ai coloring tool would make their lives easier isn't really true.
And again just as a reminder, I think it's a cool bit a tech. I just don't think it's that great at this point. 5 years from now could be a completely different story, who knows.

I can't seem to download my image once I've done. :S
Ah well, I have no idea how to get the direct image, so I just screencapped the results. This is from one of the more recent chapters of Boruto. It's pretty awesome, although I could have done a better job coloring it.

A lot of these examples are better than what you see in a lot of professional comic books.
Kinda Looks like a painting nowI decided to just throw a B&W image at it
Been trying to mess around with more JoJo panels but man it is not coming out nice. Gave Funny valentine a go as well as Giorno but they came out looking so meh I'd rather it stay forgotten. Think I'll try again in the morning with some new panels. Wanna test how well this tool can blend in similar colors to make images pop.
As a person who can get away with line art but can't color for shit, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

The tutorial for the program linked to a few Pinterest searches and I got them from there.

What i meant is being an artist. Would this be a shortcut for us making our job easier, or people would be doing their own thing and wont request for paid commissions as the app becomes more versatile/advanced and easier to use.
Who needs to pay for color if the machines do it just as well?
There's always going to be great artists who can do things machines can't but there's plenty of professional colorists turning in mediocre work.
If I'm a comic book publisher why would I pay a colorist for my mass-consumption newstand comics?
Barely touched this one up. I'm really enjoying this program, I can see myself getting addicted to it
Clip Studio paint is experimenting with this type of tech. I have not tested it yet, but here is their guide. You will need to have updated to the latest version.
