Yes, flood CR's feedback line too with requests to
- stop using AI to closed caption dubs
- keep their current subtitling software (Aegisub. Not the one they are switching to)
Please!

Good job, guys. See if you can't make similar results happen for No Game, No Life and Vinland Saga.
Getting close to time to start asking for the same kind of fervor for AI generated closed captions as well. You can fight this, it CAN work.

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!

Please tag me if you see any anime that appears to plainly be using AI transcriptions for closed captions. That's CLOSED CAPTIONS (SDH) for ENGLISH DUBS, not subtitles for Japanese audio. I wanna publicly keep track of some of these and start holding platforms accountable.

Allegedly Shudder is dubbing foreign films into English with AI as well. Don’t have an account to check, just a post on the Reddit.

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.

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

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 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.

SO... I'm pretty much done with Fortnite. There were statements made by Tim Sweeney saying that AI usage doesn't need to be disclosed, and then AI usage was found all over this current season- from art to sprays to in-game songs. Between that, and the upcoming shitty wizard collab... Yeah, I'm done.

This goes without saying, but No Love will not incorporate any form of ML/AI algorithm in its production. All animation is done by me, assets are from storefronts modeled by real people in which I will credit, some bespoke assets are made by people I know, and VA will be recorded with real people!

The new game "Where the Winds Meet" uses AI chat bots for NPCs. It's really uncomfortable.

Wuxia MMO Where Winds Meet is full of AI chatbot NPCs, and people are doing all the standard obscene stuff to them: 'I made him think that my character was pregnant with his child'
Can't we just go back to the Zork school of NPC dialog?

Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
