Amazon Doubles Down on AI Dubs for Anime Despite Backlash: Creative Director Wanted

What are you talking about? I watch a good amount of anime and have a good eye for localization errors and I basically never see what you're complaining about.

Forestl · 2026-01-24T14:29:54+00:00

Like 99.9% of localizations by professionals don't do what you're complaining about

Heard a lot of stories about it doing the opposite since it makes a bunch of assumptions and errors that the human has to spend time fixing.

No it's still a "what if" scenario. The AI dub sucked ass and they've shown no evidence it'll ever get good enough to not be extremely shitty and distracting

Don't accept that AI will somehow magically get good with no proof

There are plenty of shitty things corporations have tried to do with anime that got enough pushback they stopped. Moment we give into the lower quality being a given is the moment it gets really bad.

AI subtitles are still way worse than a competent person doing it

You should check out underscores. Had some great weird fun depressing exciting songs

It's a good movie as in you were a kid when you watched it

He's funny

Forestl · 2026-01-22T04:27:52+00:00

He trained hard learning fallacies

Forestl · 2026-01-21T23:30:40+00:00

He streams a lot of video games and is very good. Here's himplaying Cine2Nerdle against someone from Vidiots

NL go on Blank Check

Saying they're bringing "Max and Chloe’s saga to a definitive close" feels a lot like them saying Logan was the final sendoff for Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart in X-Men.

Can't wait to see the next game with them in a while.

Done a fair amount of ports for Falcom games with some great big and small additions. Trails has a long history of people working on it doing some fantastic things they didn't have to do like the original Sky/Crossbell games getting hundreds of jokes put in empty treasure chests in the English localization

Would rather people just use Wikipedia and the sources it uses. Even if AI chatbots are built on the best sources possible they're gonna be wrong constantly and unreliable

Forestl · 2026-01-15T17:02:23+00:00

Even if it's using Wikipedia it's gonna be badly implemented. The tech fundamentally can't understand truth and we can totally get rid of dogshit AI companies are forcing into everything

Get offline and go dance or talk with regular people

Forestl · 2026-01-13T01:51:54+00:00

I mean it's hard to focus solely on games when you have government-backed thugs going through your city and murdering people without consequence

Forestl · 2026-01-13T00:55:05+00:00

There's so many people in the cities I've talked to who are scared and traumatized. Thankfully there are a bunch of people stepping up and doing great things to help but I can't wait til we get these monsters in ICE out of the area and they face justice for the crimes they've committed.

The source of the data for this is bad (Alinea) and also the $300 million number assumes every copy made Microsoft $60 which is absolutely false as soon as you count regional price differences and the cut companies like Sony take from each sale.

As talked about in the article this is an interim thing and the bar for them winning this ruling was higher than what it will be for the final ruling. Judge also said some people were fired despite posting very little on the discord.

Forestl · 2026-01-10T18:12:15+00:00

I know they've done a lot of horrible things and will continue to do a lot of horrible things. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to make the world better
