Watching John Woo’s Manhunt (2017) on @amazonprime.bsky.social and the English subtitles are SO bad that even the English dialogue is wrong. “It’s a dead end” said in English came up on screen subs as “wow road”. If this is how good AI subtitling is, why would anybody even try it?

Heads up, Shudder subscribers - the original Thai 'Shutter' is listed on there as the US remake.

So if you wanted to watch the original but could only find the remake, good news!

If you wanted to watch the remake, bad news, but the original is probably better, lbr.

Just imagine the amount of fuck ups the implementation will have and how impossible it will be to change your info or if they make a mistake. Or if someone steals your identity… gross

One time I thought I had to just wait and it went past a month so had to contact them. You might have to persist with contact… they are the worst!!

From memory I think suddenly wallet now shows $ € and £ as different sections and you have to “convert” the currency before it becomes available. Presumably to accept their costs for doing this. Obviously this might not be the issue but was for me recently. If you go to PayPal wallet section?

It’s a minefield I’ve had this a few times now. I think there’s a chance if it’s a different currency that it needs you to convert. I think this is a new thing because I had this recently but never before as well with foreign currency. See if you have two different currency listed in your “wallet”…

I’ve had this before, is there a chance it’s stuck due to currency differences? I was told I had to convert it in PayPal app before it showed in balance. Also they sometimes hold money if you don’t receive into your account much, just to “make sure it’s genuine” bs!

“In every industry, AI is being used to replace all the creative things that bring us joy instead of the boring, tedious tasks we hate doing,” she says.

No, we don't need AI translated subtitles.

‘Tentacles squelching wetly’: the human subtitle writers under threat from AI

Artificial intelligence is making steady advances into subtitling but, say its practitioners, it’s a vital service that needs a human.
