Do companies even have quality control? …Of course not. The AI is always perfect 🙄
The company I work for is currently developing an AI based system to “read” legal documents and boil them down to a few pieces of info to shove in a spreadsheet. One of the people I work with has to make a system that tests the quality of that AI. So far he’s found that to be an impossible task because the info he’d check it against, that in which humans did the same task, is also super fallible and basically he’s found that they both suck in different ways.
Which means the AI is just being used because no one can say its wrong, since no one can say its definitively right either… but it’s cheaper.
Yeah, give me more reasons to have even less of a guilty conscious when pirating from evilcorps 💖
That’s great but how am I supposed to support animators?
That’s the beauty of (this shite version of) capitalism, you can’t! I don’t think giving money global evilcorps that don’t give a fuck about their employees will really support them, at least.
Kickstarter / Patreon, maybe?
I think this is a really cool concept bit I’d love to not jave to buy stuff I don’t need to support them:

I’d pay for digital DRM-free downloads of media any day, though.
Here’s the video example. (Note: the file upload feature seems to be choking on the file, so download it here instead…)

It is like windows narrator did the dubs.
This reminds me of the original Yakuza 1 English dub…if you know you know, but even that has some emotions to it compared to this monotone slop
This is disheartening.
The only thing that I want AI for in video production, is fixing dubbed live action TV and movies.
It would be great if the native actor’s voice was used for the language dub, and if their lips matched the new dub.
I know we all hate AI, and for a great reasons, but this is one of the few cool things that I think were been really beneficial - and I think could get buy-in from actors, with a limited AI release for this express purpose.
I work in the dubbing industry, and I can tell you AI is not a solution. Sure, it’ll be a “nice have” if there is no dubbing available, but you can say the same for shitty subtitles.
The reality is, if you want quality work, you need to pay a bunch of people for it.
Dubbing translation is different than regular translation, because it has to fit the mouth movements with the syllable count and other things like billabials matching.
I could go on, but I’m just saying it’s as complex as other things you probably don’t consider AI fit for.
