In case you were wondering where to send your thoughts on the AI "dub" of Banana Fish, you can do so here.
Be polite--and I *mean* that--but so long as you're polite, feel free to let them know exactly how you feel about the AI "dub."

That I can do.
Search Prime Video for the title (I went with Banana Fish), then click on Details, and scroll past the Cast page to "Send Us Feedback."

By the way, #Amazon and #PrimeVideo don't seem to just be using AI to produce shitty slop dubs for #BananaFish and other show but to create shitty thumbnails. Just look at this DBZ Kai thumbnail:

This is an AI dub, and as I mentioned in my previous post, it's God-awful (which I don't feel bad about saying since I'm not hurting the feelings of any human actor). It's one thing for the "acting" to be bad, but..."fin-jer"? The AI couldn't even pronounce basic words correctly?

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'd like to expand upon one particular line from this great thread:
"No one was benefiting from this, except for the company's bottom line... and honestly, even that was all speculation."
Here's a dirty little not-so-secret about AI: it's not as cheap as it is made out to be.

In private messages, we all agreed: this was bad for the shows, bad for consumers, and bad for our translation teams. No one was benefiting from this, except for the company's bottom line... and honestly, even that was all speculation.
But complaining to our management didn't do much.

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.

This clip is really bad. Absolutely hollow. But important to remember also that as this tech becomes "better" and more advanced, simply it being "bad" isn't going to cut it as a rhetorical argument. Slop like this must be opposed because it's fundamentally anti-human, regardless of "quality"

We all agree that these "dubs" suck.
But once again, that's not the core problem here. The quality will inevitably improve, though I personally doubt to the quality of a dub made by actual humans who care.
The problem is that these exist AT ALL. They're an offense to art, and always will be.

Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

You actually don’t have to hand it to Donald Trump. You don’t have to give him credit for anything. He’s a horrible human being who has never known a day of suffering in his life. Nor does he care an ounce about the suffering of anybody else. Hope that helps.

He's truly one of the all-time greats. Takahashi's writing already was amazing, and then you throw in Kenjiro Tsuda's velvety arrogance and the man can get away with saying the most unhinged nonsense imaginable even before the DM dub snarked him up further.
