I am no a financial expert, nor am I a historian or mathematician. But, like many writers, I understand human nature and social patterns.
Jobs are down, the economy is down, prices are up...and the stock market is roaring due to a bubble on AI.
This is not sustainable. There will be a crash.

this has been said before a million times of course, but the fact that immigrants are all somehow BOTH destitute criminals draining government benefits AND snapping up all the best houses is a contradiction I wish these people were forced to explain every time they try to get away 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.

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.

Banana Fish getting a terrible AI “dub” might be the motivation I need to finally make an ADR sample once my DVDs arrive, just to prove even someone who hasn’t actually written an ADR script before can do better.

If you're a content creator who could use captions for a video, please consider commissioning me. 113 minutes of video by next Thursday could make it happen.

A problem with the 'if you're a good artist, AI won't replace you' is that you aren't born a good artist. You learn. If entry level art jobs are taken over, then the only way to practice, learn and improve and still pay your bills is outside of a proffessional environment. Which means either... 1/2

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!
