We knew this was coming. Cutting corners to "save money" when you actually would have spent less just paying actors to do the job of storytelling that we've trained to do. Instead of producing heartless, soulless slop.
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.

Really enjoyed this one. The world-building was absolutely stellar. And I'm a sucker for a good found family story.💖🤍🧡

Strong black female lead. I'd say it's a medium spice level towards the end of the book.😜

Okay, going from being unemployed graduate to working 6 days a week has been a *Rough* transition for my body. Lol! I'm grateful to be working, but I miss my desk job. Lol I haven't had to work on my feet all day in over 20years. I did not miss that part.😂

I am so frustrated that with all the internet issues I've had over the past couple months I just discovered I missed potential clients on fiverr because I never got notifications for them.😡 DAMN IT!
