That could be a great “subversion of expectations” scene in a tv show or movie.

You have to BET a third party that you WILL hit someone (they pay if you do).
- Comment on Amazon’s AI ‘Banana Fish’ Dubs Are Hilariously, Inexcusably Bad 4 months ago:
I understand that it’s weird, and it sucks that they would lift this above a curated human dubs (I guess they have separate ongoing license fees?), but yeah… as best I can tell it would be watchable (which for me is better than subs-only). Though, I don’t know what it might do to my enjoyment (or brain) after a whole episode/season of ingesting this. :)
I think where I land on this issue is that this ought to be a third pole. We have subs, dubs, and this… and IMO it is misleading to call it a dub, or mix these in with wittingly-dubbed content, but I certainly see value in it.
Secondary effects may be another matter… part of me is afraid of a “raise to the bottom” effect, where we find ourselves in a position where nobody pays for high-quality dubs at some point. But in theory, lowering the barrier to dubbing does not necessarily need to bring everything down to trash level; if practically overnight everyone and their dog can auto-dub anime, there is no reason to have sub-only anime, pro-dub becomes a standout feature, and watchful streaming services could even see those autodubs that get high watch counts as a demand signal to pay for professional dubs.
- Comment on Amazon’s AI ‘Banana Fish’ Dubs Are Hilariously, Inexcusably Bad 4 months ago:
Honestly… given the reaction seen here, I was expecting FAR worse. Assuming there is approximately zero human input/effort, I actually find it remarkable for a push-button auto-dubbing solution. In fact, if I had such a auto-dubbing “button”, I would most surely make heavy use of it, and maybe even pay extra for it as a service… but that might just be me.
- Comment on Amazon’s AI ‘Banana Fish’ Dubs Are Hilariously, Inexcusably Bad 4 months ago:
I can’t seem to watch the example ATM, but I seem to be allergic to subs, so there are MANY shows that I would love to have even trash-quality dubs.

I’m not entirely sure this qualifies as a shower thought, at least… not in the original sense.

No, there is no deep meaning. I’ve updated the post body to clarify:
Every time I would scroll [too fast] past an image of the burning Nepal parliament building, I would see something like this.
…so now you can see it too. Though the thought behind the title was that someone might be scrolling too fast (much like me) and presume that this is the same ol’ parliament burning image… maybe that is what you are picking up on?
