Hello there!
For those who don't know, I am both MaximusMike AND Alphonse Darby/BarbaryDarby from Twitter/X!
For the longest time, I struggled to manage both accounts consistently. Hopefully, it'll be an easier time here.

Amazon has seemingly removed the Banana Fish AI dub, likely in response to the vocal outcry
It should be noted that they can remove this AI dub, or all of their AI dubs
But they can’t remove the fact that they chose to try to do it in the first place.

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 love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵
I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

For several years - and over the course of almost 70 episodes - I’ve been quietly geeking out about finally becoming a part of the Digimon universe alongside my castmates.
Now I can finally announce that with the pending release of #Digimon Ghost Game, you can hear me as “Kiyoshiro Higashimitarai”!

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.

Personally, I think I'm at a point where it's pointless trying to tell someone to stop experiencing things that are filled with AI slop.
At this point, I say why something is bad, side-eye or ignore, and let them decide when they're done with 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.
