Masako Nozawa comments on the use of generative AI in voice acting:
"I can't forgive using it without asking. I want people to follow the rules.”
After watching AI videos of her voice: "This is not my voice. Using it without asking is unforgivable. It's the same as stealing, and it makes me angry. My voice is mine, and my acting is mine too. If anyone uses even a little of it, they should get permission."
"What (AI) makes might sound like me. It might even be a perfect copy. But it has no heart, does it? Without heart, it's no good, whatever the role. Even a voice that's only crying is different when you cry with real feeling. That's what I believe."
To young people aiming to become voice actors in the AI era: "Work hard so that people say, as a voice actor, it absolutely has to be that person. Without heart, you're just reading the letters of the lines, so make them living words."
Sorry this is happening to ya
Honestly kinda of shocked by the level of arrogance and lack of empathy that is being used in this situation
I can understand a feeling of ownership of buying a product but I would've thought there'd be some level of respect that goes to the artist
If you're commissioning art you'd imagine you like the person making it, since they pour a little of themselves into each piece
Not an artist, but as someone that has worked with many folks, I'd feel like it'd be so disrespectful to the people that have lent me their talents
The obvious difference here is easy? Charlie Kirk was a political icon, that built his career on provoking and justifying conservative policy that would irreparably harm millions, this man has likely killed people in the sense of social harm.
Charlotte didn't do this? And that's the obvious distinction. One was a child, the other was a hatemonger. Anyone doing this in "retaliation" or whatever are fucking worms.
@batthewgaming@Skuiggly Im very neutral on this topic, but the logic is that we as humans have the intelligence and mental capacity to acknowledge the cycle and choose to not to hurt and consume animals, since we have the technology and supplements to live without eating meat whereas a bear doesnt
