Heya! I’m Swann (like the bird with two N’s 🦢✌🏼), a queer nonbinary Asian-American voice actor.

What I really don’t understand about genAI images is, isn’t it actually just writing, not art? You craft a prompt of words (i.e., writing), and the genAI program translates that into a pictorial mutation — that’s how that works, right? Like, am I crazy?

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.
They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.
Only you have the power to kill it.

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.

We did it! We just crossed the finish line on the Kickstarter with just 2 days left to go! Now that we've reached the goal, I can finally shut up about it forever.
Going back to our regularly scheduled posting from this point on! :D
Thank you all who backed this thing, I knew we could do it!

I know we can get there, but we'll need your help! These last few days are crucial, so don't wait!

“But if it’s done ethically–”
There is /nothing/ ethical about surrendering an opportunity to tell a human story to anything other than a human.
Cast humans as humans.
Not humans’ voices as humans, consent or otherwise — /humans/ as humans.
It’s not that hard.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

This is what happens when you treat every piece of art you license like just another line of a spreadsheet
This is what happens when you reduce work that real people put so much love into down to fucking content slop that you shovel out for as cheaply as you can

"The audience understands quality even if they can't articulate it".
The audience doesn't need to be production savvy to FEEL that no effort was made to make something good. They know what feels good as an experience and what feels empty.
But how do you explain that to people SO disconnected?

The best thing about solo Thanksgiving meals is chatting with folks at the bar. Grateful for math teacher Martha and stepson David for holding me over before noms (and giving me their seat), and art teacher Ramon and graphic designer Marshall for listening to me rant about ADR!

Hey.
Kindly reminder.
Content creators are not your friends just because you like their work. You do not know who we are.
This goes double for anyone under 18; be very careful about interacting with adults.
If any adult makes you feel uncomfortable, DO NOT ENGAGE THEM. RUN.

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

- Added Inspect descriptions into puzzle screens to add more guidance
- Allowed the player to use items by choosing them directly from their inventory
- Changed Notes so it will now appear inactive until a note is found.
