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 am also doing a 25% off sale for all of my commission types for the holidays. Here's my commission sheet, of course, with all the base prices. (Though I will say I'm currently not taking animation commissions for the time being due to them being...a LOT more work than I thought they'd be.)

Happy Holidays, everyone. My father is back at work now, so bills shouldn't be as much of an issue anymore, but we do still have a mortgage to get caught up on. Not sure how much we'll need in total, but any help towards getting us to the point of paying that off would be greatly appreciated.

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

As much as I hate their pivot to using genAI everywhere, camelcamelcamel has good price tracking and I’m not aware of any alternatives that have as much depth and breadth as them.
But yes, many deals are just this trick to make you feel good. It is not legal to do this in certain countries.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.
