  I guess AI is really gonna replace a lot of people jobs by the end of 2025…

  I’m kind of torn on this. On one hand, if this starts getting used instead of traditional dubbing with an actual translator, that sucks. I’m sure the quality won’t be as good, at least initially, and the whole “AI taking jobs” thing sucks. (If we had UBI, it wouldn’t be an issue at all, for the record.)

  On the other hand, if it’s used to add dubs to shows that didn’t have them at all / would not have had them at all, that seems like a fine use for AI. I don’t know.

    This is only enabling them to fire more people while increasing their output. It’s capitalism min maxing

      Is that actually what this is about, though? The article specifically says:

      Prime Video will begin offering AI-aided dubbing on licensed movies and series that would not have been dubbed otherwise.

      Obviously they might be misrepresenting the situation, but it doesn’t sound like “They were previously having employees do this and are switching to using AI”; it sounds like “This was not previously being done at all and is now being done by AI”.
