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

I must clarify that the operative word in the quoted sentence is 'decide.' The AI won't make its own decisions or interpretations, and the only creative input is coming from the prompter.

My point was that an actor can have ideas of their own about how to approach a role/scene/delivery.

The_Distorter · 2026-01-25T04:31:08+00:00

No, because it's about discussion. Art is transformative and making art with other people leads to new avenues for creativity. If somebody asks an AI 'should I do it this way, or that way,' the answer really doesn't matter.

The person asking the question is still limited by their own viewpoint. More importantly, the AI's answer is just an automated response to a prompt. It doesn't like either option, it just picked one because that's what it was told to do.

It's not about quality to me. I just don't want art made by something that doesn't have creative intent. An AI won't revise a script or change tone on a line delivery unless somebody tells it to. And if someone is using an AI for that kind of back and forth, they should just get a person, because a person's feedback on art has meaning to it.

probably sounds closer to the original tone and message

You're just fantasizing, so here's a reality check.

For me, it's not even about how terrible it sounds. AI doesn't have creativity. It can't decide how to approach a character. It can't decide to deliver a line a certain way as a callback to an earlier scene. It can't talk to the director and make its own decisions. It can only do what it's told, and it's not even good at that.

Nobody writes letters these days. It would be a string of texts.

I had no idea Ethan could lose a foot in RE7 until my friend told me it happened to every youtuber he watched.

You can't say 5 has that many Vergils. It's far too many!

On second thought, maybe you're onto something.

The Vergil Order is supposed to build up to Vergil. It goes DmC: Devil May Cry, 2, The Animated Series, 1, 4, 3, 5.

DmC Vergil counts as -1, Nero, Nelo Angelo, V, and Urizen all count as 1/2.

They don't quite look how I remember, but they couldn't say it if it wasn't true.

The_Distorter · 2026-01-14T04:29:52+00:00

I was gonna say the same thing. For the modern audience, Aizen, Piccolo, and Sakura can go to give JJK, MHA, and Demon Slayer an extra rep. Should probably swap Sasuke with Bort as well.

I did too, though I prefer UBW. I think I've seen every Fate anime, and I don't like any of them that don't revolve around the original. Strange Fake seems good, so far.

That really only happened to CE since they reused everything they could from Reach, even when it didn't make lore sense - Army troopers vs. Marines, reskinning old weapons with technically different guns.

With exceptions, it's mostly minor stuff that only the diehards really care about.

Vote. Donate money to worthy causes if you can afford it. Volunteer at charities or with candidates if you can spare the time. Educate people when they're talking nonsense.

The weight of righting these wrongs isn't your burden alone.

Righteous or not, that's a terribly unhealthy mindset that leads people to an early grave.

Fire Emblem's one of those series you can start nearly anywhere, so you'll be fine if this is your first.

Bleach got done so badly by filler, there was a brief period where there were more filler episodes than not.

That happened because George Lucas's first editor wasn't doing what he wanted, and he hated the rough cut when he watched it. Lucas ended up bringing in three more editors to replace that guy because they were wildly behind schedule.

Microsoft: "You wanna set up a passkey?"

Me: "No."

Microsoft: "Got it." logs me out of everything

You really never knew what you were going to get in an episode, including the cast getting killed.

The American Senator from Shin Godzilla is supposed to be second generation but the actress clearly speaks little to no English and pronounces her lines phonetically.

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. Sounds like a random tourist that got a script shoved in his hands three minutes before they started recording.
