Still a singer. Still an aspiring writer. Still loving football. Still a fan. There's a BLUE SKY waiting tomorrow. It's all we need.
I'm glad BlueSky exists.
Furtheremore, as any other intelligent person said about the use of AI: it's only a cost-cutting measure and it will make entertainment much even worse.

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.

wonder how much of japanese users still heavily with twitter is down to the 'we're shoving endless right wing bullshit down your throat' tweaks and tunes to what you see being very blatantly focused to an english speaking audience and perhaps other languages being kind of an afterthought

The "English dubs suck" cretins have no clue about things like ACTING, DIRECTION, and WRITING.
What's worse is that what they want is not voice ACTING but "voice just like the Japanese version".

Like you said before, at least a "bad" dub in the past was done by humans. And from what little I know, "bad" dubs are usually from poor direction.

I've never even seen Banana Fish but I'm pissed off for Banana Fish fans.
There's a lot of great anime that has gone undubbed for years and the fact that a stupid corporation decided to use AI for one is such garbage.

Honest to God I think your average novice voice actor on Twitter or Bluesky could do an infinitely better fandub of this from home.
…Hell, why don’t you? Call it the “Banana Fish Challenge”. Dub a scene from the show in English and show the suits at Amazon how shit they are.

So infuriating as it is that Amazon is dabbling in AI dubs, we've got to make sure that the response here is to emphasize the value of the proper dubs they've been doing rather than just the rejection of AI.

I remember explaining to a few friends that, regardless of what part of the industry, entertainment was gonna get hit hard by Gen Ai.
I was told “NAH! Look at how BAD Gen Ai is right now! It’ll take 10 years or more for it to be used!”
That conversation was 2 years ago & everything is Gen Ai now.

That's disgusting. The anime came out in 2018, nobody was expecting an English dub in the first place! They've just tacked this shit on because they can. I wonder how many other shows/movies have been affected by this?

Dub hating weebs are known for the hypocritical dumbasses they are.
They say "English dubs suck and it's a travesty" (like that moron from YouTube who shits on the Dandadan dub) but they will also push for this AI bullshit because all they know about "emotions" is how you scream. That's it. 🤷

And we know some idiot on YouTube will say this why English dub suck.
But that will be the same person who pushes for this AI nonsense.
They can’t replace the human soul I want more voice actors and more studios more people and opportunities.

The only way to convince these companies to not use AI dubbing is to show it's not profitable, STAY AWAY from hate-watching and instead spend that time watching dubs you love

For as much as we love to rag on dubs from the 80s or 90s, or stuff like the 4Kids dubs, there was at least charm and actual humanity behind them.
