Telling me that everything is gonna use generative AI and that I might as well get on board with it now is like telling me "that minefield is full of mines, you may as well just step on one now."

In the past week, a voice over agency got bullied off Twitter for posting that actors refusing to work with AI are “cutting off their noses to spite their face.”

We need more energy like that, especially when companies straight up just use AI instead of actors and assume nobody will say shit.

Several months ago, actors made it clear that they were withholding work from Genshin Impact because of a lack of basic AI protections

Hoyo fans told them it would/could never be an issue

Last night, Hoyo posted several official videos promoting Genshin's new mode

Here's what the VO sounds like.

I don’t know if I can ever really understand the usually more heteronormative need to be totally monogamous tbh
Poly people do often still have that one special person, or in my favorite scenario, everyone involved loves each other

Okay but roads are used to get from one place to the next
Kinda like how a roadmap shows progression

Before now I was hoping that things would be resolved somehow and AI protections would be put in place but I guess that was just cope at the end of the day and I’m willing to admit that

I hope the hoyo news has been a wake up call for people
I’m certainly not touching their products again, as sad as that makes me after 5 years of playing Genshin

Reposting this with different phrasing

Multiple promotional videos for the new Genshin Miliastra Wonderland mode have been posted

A lot of fans believe it to be narrated by AI voice over

You be the judge

Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:

"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."

Something to keep an eye on.

A promotional image from Mihoyo for "AI Job Openings" that explains "in the world of Honkai we have always believed that AI can create infinite possibilities"

Examples of 2D artwork and 3D models that demonstrate how the AI would allow them to see how models would appear when translated from one to the other

I find it frustrating how the games’ communities & many VAs seem to have unanimously decided to mistreat anyone trying to fight for their rights in this manner.
I play Genshin and do care about the quality of the product, but having unvoiced characters is far preferrable to exploitation.

Asexual people are more likely to be raped and inflicted with conversion therapy than other LGBT identities because the general public doesn't want to believe that not everyone has an easy time being attracted to people.

Recently the voice actor for Dr Ratio in Honkai Star Rail came out in support of Charlie Kirk and his ideals, and when saying this he added in one of many posts that “many fellow VAs feel the same.”

Some actors have hand waved this statement as bullshit.

But I do think it’s important to examine.

I don't find it coincidental that Al hawkers start with attempting to artificially replace a woman actor instead of a man. Men aren't viewed as products (=resented for exhibiting agency) to the same extent, so starting with a male Al actor presentation would probably be viewed even more negatively

Bright, shut up and get out. I'm going to fuck your wife now.

Fanart of Sayla Mass and Mirai Yashima from Mobile Suit Gundam in the style of a wartime recruitment ad. Sayla cradles Mirai's face in her hand and the two gaze at each other knowingly. Text to the right of the couple reads "Do the job HE left behind"; text at the bottom reads "APPLY. E.F.F. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE."

This is true, however it is incredibly reductive to assume that this only applies to novels specifically. Any well written piece of media, or more generally thoughtfully made piece of art can have this effect.

At most it means that in the future everyone will be trans, so no one will be.

Gender is a class structure that will ideally blur and eventually fade away some day. People will be able to express themselves however they want, their behavior won’t be tied to expectations of gender.
I don’t see how that could possibly be a bad thing.
It doesn’t invalidate trans people now.
