Disability is not a “luxury”

It’s not a vacation.

It’s not a choice.

It can (and does) happen to anyone, and most are shocked to discover how little support there is and how difficult an existence it can be.

We need and deserve compassion & better social supports.

[Stormfall @stormfall33]

Nobody wants AI, but it will be forced down our throats anyway. They don't stop and question that it isn't wanted. The culture of games and art has been hijacked by giga corps that don't care about art, and don't care about what you want.

The use of AI is nuanced. Did they use it to streamline optimization? Or did they use it to replace real artists?
They will use that undefined nuance as a shield to feed you AI designed gameplay loops with AI written stories designed to sell you AI skins for AI created characters.
Removing the disclosure will just cast a blindfold over the consumer's eyes so Billionaire Bill can up his stock prices, because art is just business to them, and they will milk it until it's slop.

MIND YOU if Amazon properly advertised the anime it owned AND THEIR DUBS they’d see the value in investing in them…

[Melissa White | Voice Actor @itsmelissawhite]

Hey so there’s no demand for AI dubs meaning you aren’t going to make money for churning them out.

If you want people to turn against your company & you want to LOSE money, keep making shitty AI dubs.

…Or have morals & make actual art & hire real actors who love their jobs.

[It’s Guillotine Time! @TysonRinehartVO]

Dear @PrimeVideo
If this passed your quality control, you should clean house. Whoever okayed this is costing you far more money than hiring a real dub cast would. Shameful and disrespectful to life itself.

[Kamran Nikhad @KamranNikhad]

So @amazon, one of the wealthiest companies on the planet, opts to use "Gen" AI to churn out lifeless slop that nobody likes when @PrimeVideo could contract out studios to put soul into its dubs.

Even with unfathomable profit, they still want more. Quality & humanity be damned.

[Laura Stahl @laura_stahl]

art is political. all of it. removing the human element is indicative of how much those with the purse strings value the livelihoods of those without leverage. i.e., not at all.

the more ai is injected into our workspaces, the more careers will disappear, in all sectors.

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

Everyone should be paying attention to Chat Control and what the EU is trying to do right now.

The ENTIRE continent is going to "protect children from sexual abuse" by...forcing everyone to upload their govt IDs online.

They want to eliminate privacy. Completely.

[Travis Mullenix @TMullenixVO]

Even if the Banana Fish ai dub was seamless and perfect, it would still be awful because of the impact it would make on my industry and the hard working people in it.

But to no one’s surprise, it’s the most disjointed slop imaginable. You really shit the bed on this one, Amazon.

[sam slade @itsSamSlade]

i drafted and deleted so many tweets about amazon’s ai generated dubbed anime but tbh I’ll just keep it short and sweet: fuck generative ai!

[Ry McKeand 🍎🔪 @RyMcKeand]

man, this sure is relevant again.

[manga|saltaria 🩷💛💙 @saltaria2]

Do not watch the Banana Fish AI English dub.
Do not give it views out of curiosity.
You know it’s bad.
We do not want this.
Just like we don’t want AI translation, we don’t want AI dub.
It’s an insult to humanity to have technology try to copy human emotion.
This is wrong.

[Wanderjegson @wanderjegson]

I wish Youtubers weren't going to hate watch the ai dub for banana fish, but they're youtubers desperate for views, of course they will do it.

[Zeus @Promithean11]

Saying “anime is the most soulless cartoon of all times” while supporting AI is crazy

[Dan Cooper 👑🐰 @ThatKaitoDan]

Daman's point they can't even excuse this as "demand rush" is pretty telling.

Screams they only saw it as just another show they can toss out solely to add to their library, another book in the shelf, nothing more.

Massive disrespect to the story, it's creator & it's fans.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Disabled people deserve healthcare.

Disabled people deserve housing.

Disabled people deserve food.

Disabled people deserve support.

Our ability to work and produce should not determine our value.

Disability is not a moral failing. Most people will experience it someday.

[Brittany Lauda✨Vongola Decimo @BrittanyLaudaVO]

Ight. In honor of Black Friday, here’s a great deal: @amazon @PrimeVideo may have the great honor of hiring me, a kickass, queer dubbing director & CD to redub Banana Fish with an authentic, queer creative team & cast (for full price, obv) & make things right with the community.

[Daman Mills @DamanMills]

EVERY language deserves to have a dub performed by REAL actors, not just English.

Fix this @PrimeVideo. #BANANAFISH

[John "F" Fountain @FountainCartoon]

AI generated imagery is plagiarism.

Plagiarism is theft.

Theft is stealing.

Stealing is wrong.

It’s as simple as that.

The rest is just a basic case of supply and demand. An artist charges what they believe their time and skill are worth.

Yes - it’s definitely cheaper to steal… but it’s morally wrong.
