I think I struggle writing short stories because never once in my life have I ever told someone a short story without backtracking and going on eleven separate tangents before forgetting where I was even going with it

I've been seeing some guys getting REALLY mad some places are forcing AI disclosure and it's like 'But isn't that a good thing? AI's "the future"! Don't you want everyone to know how superior and amazing YOUR product is with this proud seal of approval?🥺'
lmao

Nearly every single day I have games like this clogging up my inboxes, and it's such a time wasting endeavour, as I have to sort through and filter out all the AI generated shovelware, and it just won't stop. No matter how clear I am that I am not interested in AI slopware, it keeps coming.

Considering how everything for anime has to be done with the approval of the original Japanese licensor(s) now (this isn't the Wild West of the 90s & earlier), this pretty much means that the Japanese licensor for Banana Fish had to have approved this.
So, who's the licensor for this? Aniplex.

Now, yes, Aniplex is owned by a different division of Sony than Crunchyroll (Sony Music vs. Sony Pictures, though Aniplex does partially co-own some part of Crunchyroll), but it really just gives the indication that Banana Fish may be a test bed for what Crunchyroll might do in the future.

Of all the shows that don't deserve this, Banana Fish doesn't deserve this the most. Gross.
Hey just so you know Amazon decided to give us an AI ENGLISH DUB of Banana Fish instead of actually hiring real voice actors
it is fucking hot garbage

A trillion-dollar company going super-cheap on producing a mechanical-sounding dub with no human touch, aura, or spark involved.
It's insulting, anti-consumer, anti-creative, shameful, and just damn embarrassing.
Also... I can't trust anything that pronounces "finger" as "fin-jer."
2:12 in, BTW.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

There’s no disclosure because Steam only requires it for paid games. F2P games aren’t required to disclose AI usage.
I have some feelings about that, ESPECIALLY with the amount of F2P games aimed at kids, and if you do too, you should make Steam aware of it.

For people unaware and playing/streaming Where Winds Meet, it uses GenAI for NPC chat bots, and let's you import a photo of yourself and a voice clip for character creation, which I'm sure I don't need to explain why that is fucked up
And no AI disclosure on Steam 🙃

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

As always, next time you see a big celebrity at the Crunchyroll anime awards, remind yourself how they can afford to dress the dubbing industry up like it’s the Met Gala when underneath all that it’s actors struggling to make ends meet and translation done by shitty robots they don’t have to pay.
After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!
