It feels like there's never a floor on US propaganda. When I was little I believed it was the best place. Then a flawed but good place. Then a redeemable place. Now I'm like... It's the center of so much of the contemporary world's evil. And somehow I still learn things about how it's worse.

Vinland Saga has TWO fucking dubs, man.
Also, I believe Dororo is among the others that have been slopified by Amazon? I'm sure there are many others, including non-anime properties.

Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".

In a world where Demon Slayer owned movie theaters, broke multiple records in the US, & had its English dub praised in every corner of the internet, it's wild a company could even consider doing a full on AI dub. It's like a captain drilling holes in the ship right as it gets into port.

Remember. Companies want you to pay for premium products. If they're shoveling features in at free and basic tiers, they're trying to turn a profit on their losses.

"They're trying to change our habits, because all of the projections rely on people becoming truly dependent on the technology. Whether or not it's actually a good thing for society isn't considered to be a factor."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

This says a lot, but more than anything, I'm just seeing more reason to eliminate executives. If AI does 87% of your job, 87% if your paycheck should be cut.
The numbers in here are hilarious.
Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%
Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

So people who do actual work find AI to be useless and executives find it can do their job FOR them. 🤔
I, hmm, I wonder what that means we should do with executives.

We’re lucky that for a very long time, in many parts of the anime and manga industry, it was about quality. What can we do to produce the best we can for our customers?
With Big Business, now, it’s about profit margins, and how much they can sacrifice before their bottom line suffers.

I wouldn’t say they hate their customers. They just like money more.
To quote an industry exec I met at an event this year, “Why spend extra money for 100% quality when you can make the same profit with 60% quality?”
It’s about the minimum viable product. Of course it is; they’re businesspeople.

The people in charge of these companies hate their customers.
"Every other company is doing it, and charging cheaper prices for localization. If we don't do this, we will go under."
"Audiences don't care that much about quality. So if we can meet the bare minimum and save money, that's best for everyone."
"Have you run the numbers though? Are you suuuuure?"

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.

Seeing OTHER anime being AI dubbed, including shows that have already been dubbed proper by other studios no less (No Game No Life and Dororo via Sentai Filmworks) is such a telling sign of how greedy Amazon is being.

The way some of y'all talk about child actors or young adult actors that started as children really should have you shoved into a locker yourself. If you wouldn't say this about a real kid you know, you should consider shutting up and working on yourself instead.
