Sci-fi body horrors aside: I will never understand why anybody wants to talk to someone (real or AI) that speaks like this?? Like a fucking asshole goober? Everything GPT sounds like a sassy commercial narrator. I don't want a relationship with anyone that speaks like this, get away from me

SO... I'm pretty much done with Fortnite. There were statements made by Tim Sweeney saying that AI usage doesn't need to be disclosed, and then AI usage was found all over this current season- from art to sprays to in-game songs. Between that, and the upcoming shitty wizard collab... Yeah, I'm done.

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!"

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.
They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.
Only you have the power to kill it.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Hahaha, right?! Or what about mandatory disclosures for the discrepancy between the salaries of the CEO and their lowest paid worker? That would be so funny, right?! Let’s do it as a funny joke!!!

This is even worse because it doesn't have the excuse of being niche and expecting to be overlooked, NGNL is super popular. They're playing their hand too early and too hard and just making everyone hate AI even more.
Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

I’m glad we are getting responses to what Tim said like this, seen a small number of devs who agree with him but not cos they like ai but cos they just sound like they given up and taking the easy path of going with the classic “it’s inevitable”. People do not like crap and GenAi makes only crap.

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

Copyright is a middleman. It says: you get paid if you successfully enforce artificial scarcity on infinitely copyable files. That's a precarious, adversarial way to fund creative work!!! To me, the problem isn't insufficient *ownership*. It's inadequate direct support for creative labour.

Oh, yeah, NPC writing is the best. You can do worldbuilding, add a gameplay tip, or just invent a memorable weirdo. Or a whole city of weirdos. It's great.

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!
