Eritate-Goromo - [Yokai | Tsukumogami] - The high collared Kimono of the profoundly prideful Tengu King, Sōjōbō of Mt Kurama. After decades of being worn by such a powerful yokai, the robes sprung to life. Perhaps they are just prideful as the Tengu who wore them... samkalensky.com/products/eri...

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.

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.

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.

I appreciate Vancouver Game Expo's method of keeping the aisles clear of crowd pileups by having someone in a gigantic amongus costume walk through every so often and smush everyone out of the central corridor

These big mega corps being okay with their name on shitty AI output tells you everything. Quality for customers isn’t even a thought. Being useful for the greater good hasn’t been a thing in a long long time.
