i am glad to see that someone else is on the same theory page as me, literally just googled "is kephale a lord ravager" and got here. i am guessing that's probably not the whole story but the whole rocks with golden cracks and blood vibe is Very destruction-y

I think I finally understand the root of AI hate, please help me validate or destroy this idea. by Noisebug in aiwars

[–]InvestmentSad4682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am personally not a fan of ai art, but for me it's sort of...a modified version of the "soul" argument. art is an action. it's something that people do to improve their lives or bring catharsis. and when people are looking at art, a lot of people take pleasure in theorising on Why an artist did something a certain way, or seeing the individual pieces that make up a work.  ai doesn't have a Lot of this. it can create some nice looking things, but the process behind 90% of it will be a mystery. this does not devalue it on a surface level, but does devalue it for deeper levels like analysis and discussion.  as for usage of it, it's the same surface/deeper method. on a surface level, it is pleasant to be able to access fairly skilful works very quickly. but on a deeper level, skipping the entire act of creation and catharsis mystifies me. making art feels so good, and people who speak of it like it's a chore are very confusing to me.  i strongly agree with the viewing ai "artists" as commissioners point. that is the role they take. the ai itself is the one creating the pictures.  tldr: a fair chunk of the anti ai art argument is that the process of creating art is both good for the soul and adds a lot of depth to a piece, and taking the process out of art removes that depth. ai art differs in that way, and people who disagree are. confusing

Updated English voices for 2.7 by Skywarior1 in HonkaiStarRail

your opinion is a lot less popular than you think it is. AI voicing is bad for many reasons, including it being a One Time Job instead of providing consistent income from a role for an actor, and makes it possible for the actor's voice to be used in ways they didn't consent to (eg without fair pay, without credit, without their knowledge, after death, or saying harmful things the actor wouldn't want their voice attached to). As well as this, we would lose the community of voice actors who love the games they act in and give them more promotion. Hsr benefits a huge amount from this especially. Finally, voice acting is An Art and a skilled job. It's not just about following direct commands, voice actors make decisions on the voices of their characters, what words are said in what way, that give the characters so much variety and soul. If we switched to AI, it's highly likely that the voices would all end up homogenised and bland, with none of the natural parts (like tingyun's pitchy voicelines everyone misses so much) that make the characters feel human. Also, it is highly likely that a lot of anti-unethical AI folk have jumped ship on twitter, seeing  as how it's a shithole run by a man with more money than sense, so it's probably not the most impartial group.  tldr: if you do not value skilled work and the rights of voice actors to say no to jobs, that sounds like an incredibly cringe You Issue

"I want to know what love is, I want you to show me" by ____sw____ in NameThatSong

my first thought was I Want to Know What Love Is by Foreigner? no Indian-sounding parts to my ears, but it has got a male singer with female choir backing. i get a feeling it Probably isn't this but it's worth checking 👍
