It's been effective for me in talking to kids and students -- they think it works, that it knows what it's doing, and pointing out simply and cleanly that it doesn't do what it says it does is easy and effective. Then you can move onto deeper arguments.
There’s this idea that I’ve been pondering for a bit that’s probably yet another Everyone Will Yell At Me thing, but… I don’t think that pointing out that AI is full of inaccuracies is an effective tactic at getting people not to use it. It’s based on cultural context that not everyone shares…

Crunchyroll can afford to partially bankroll 1 out of every 5 new anime but can't afford to have an free tier or hire humans to write captions or subtitles

have they fired the CEO yet??
they are gonna miss the “25 by 25” milestone and that is the sort of thing that results in fired executives. just wondering, just wondering…

This picture should be the cudgel that beats AI into the ground permanently.
This insane bit, from the dub of Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus ep 10
The line is actually "I'm enraptured."

The way you can tell "AI" is the future is because one of the most popular searches is "How do I get this AI shit out of my computer"
here's an updated guide on how to remove all of the AI from Firefox

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.

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

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."

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

talking about this with peers. a couple of things:
1) who produced this "dub?" amazon or aniplex or someone else?
2) who worked on it? someone had to engineer it. what software was used? there is ONE LINE of info, haha.
also, if I were a news outlet, I'd be reaching out to aniplex for comment.
