This is from March. The systems may be better by now, but if Grok is any indication they may be getting worse. The compulsory chatbot Microsoft is including with their latest OS will, if you ask it 5 questions, tell you 2 lies. I am not touching Windows 11 with a barge pole.

Tech bros desperate to create a simulation of human feeling because they lack it entirely.

Cai Haoyu, former Hoyo CEO in charge of their new title Varsapura, released a chatbot called “Anuneko” yesterday. Chinese website CGames discusses how this is Cai Haoyu’s hope for AI to be more emotionally connected with the player. It also talks about NPC dialogue in Varsapura being AI generated.

Did you see the clips from Amazon's alleged AI dubs?

Your response matters. I guarantee you there is a whole department of people at Prime Video who is quietly celebrating today. Keep up the good fight, everyone.

This may seem confusing out of context, LOL so, just so everyone's aware of recent developments: Amazon's English dub for a series had entirely AI-generated performances, as in not actual actors, and the entirety of the anime viewing community came down on them like a ton of bricks for it.

Good work, y'all. Good work. Bully these corporate freaks sucking all the joy, meaning, and purpose out of existence every chance you get.

I'd love for more complaints towards crunchy roll, who has been doing this to its subtitles too I watched Wolf's Rain with friends, and the AI garbage that was used to make the subtitles made them horribly distracting and disrespectful with how wrong they were. Get this AI slop out of here!

You won't see as much, sadly, because Crunchyroll monitors the social media of every voice actor that works under them like a hawk. Your favorite anime voice actor would rather keep silent about any and all abuse than lose their $75 (often less) an hour gigs they get twice a month

The fact that I don't even need to explain who's who in this meme means we all know exactly how every Trump vs. Musk fight eventually plays out.

All these studios adding AI chatbots in their games, meanwhile we made a better one two years ago with Cryptmaster without using a speck of AI. Just smart writing and good voice acting 😎

I know Banana Fish wasn't the only series with an AI dub slapped onto it, but part of me wonders if the reason why they selected Banana Fish specifically as one of the test beds was because Banana Fish is early foundational gay media and thought it would have fewer viewers and no one would catch it.

bummer situation but grim lol at this exception on the epic games store

One evil has been slain - but I hear the LATAM Spanish AI dub is still up. This needs to be fixed also.

It appears that Amazon has removed the AI dub of Banana Fish. Great news! I mean, at this point, since it's become a topic, Amazon needs to get a dubbing studio and real VAs so we can get an official English dub for this show.

dear amazon,

If Amazon can be shamed out of AI dubbing, then anything is possible.

be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

The way you can tell "AI" is the future is because one of the most popular searches is "How do I get this AI shit out of my computer"

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Crunchyroll's feedback form is here, if you're looking for it. And for the record, you can submit feedback even if you don't have an active account: help.crunchyroll.com/hc/en-us/req...

Keep the pressure on. No ai dubs for any language

BWAHAHAHAHAHA I remain convinced that Amazon did not get permission to do this and as soon as the licensor got back into the office, some strongly worded emails were SENT

are people not deeply, existentially embarrassed to do shit like get their professor fired for giving their shitty essay a shitty grade. is there no part of them that kind of wants to die because rather than just let the trans girl win the swim meet they decided to cry no fair to the newspaper

I’m going to get an engineering degree from OU by saying bridges can only be measured in cubits and shekels www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

“For years they said it would never happen and it fucking is.

I received an "F" on my dental school paper for writing "the tooth fairy takes 'em while you sleep" and now I'm suing the school for religious discrimination

My construction engineering professor failed me for writing "they make chimneys that size so that Santa can get through." Time to call the police

If that’s your standard I’m concerned about the grades you are giving your students that are supposed to be our future lawyers

"you can't fail students because of the First Amendment" is an insane thing to say

More seriously, I am begging you + others to think about how there are multiple things going on here. If you want a pedagogical conversation about not giving students zeros, I think that's fine for later, but right now I am more concerned about the dehumanization going on in right-wing media.

The question here is not "do I disagree with an instructor giving a student who didn't seem to read the article a zero," it's "do I disagree with vile slurs against an instructor who gave a student—who did not seem to read the article or follow the assignment—a zero." I think the question matters.

Noting the decision not to mark the day, the State Department stated: "An awareness day is not a strategy." Activists in the fight to end the ongoing AIDS epidemic disagree. n.pr/3Xu36zt

One thing I noticed is that people only support creatives when they're independent. When folks like VAs and game developers fight for unionization at major studios, they're seen as "greedy" or are "corporate bootlickers." Job protection should NOT be looked at as "selling out."

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 OU situation can be about erasing trans people from public life AND about enforcing Christian supremacy, because the campaign to erase trans people from public life is a Christian supremacist campaign trans people threaten Christian supremacy by refusing to perform the gender they were assigned
