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."

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 deleted and stopped playing Fortnite recently. It was honestly a big comfort game for me but that comfort was very quickly becoming outmatched by how uncomfortable all their decisions were making me.
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.

Still wild to me that companies got together and lied about a mass shoplifting epidemic and fundamentally changed things in all stores so that it’s worse for everyone, and then we found out they lied, and no one fucking did anything about it, and this is just life now

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.

Here’s a quote:
“the game team ultimately wants to create a humanistic sandbox… to generate dialogue with Al NPCs, but more importantly, to drive large language models to generate a network in the city.”

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?
