   @coolboymew @maxmustermann I still forsee problems replacing translators with AI but this voice stuff seems to work perfectly for anime dubs.

     @Moon@shitposter.club @coolboymew@shitposter.club @maxmustermann@shitposter.club that's because anime dubs are the lowest form of translation

     @Moon the only valid anime dub is ghost stories which was nonsense on purpose @sarvo @coolboymew @maxmustermann

     @Moon @sarvo @coolboymew @maxmustermann Which is exactly, how it happens.
     
     All it takes is the mindset of "it's just anime bro it's not high art" and naive Japanese dudes assuming that it's the 90s and the west needs censorship and all to have it sell there, and the next thing you know you get lines like "sus" in Nagataro.
     
     It can also be stamped out at a creator level, I heard one of the reasons for the new Evangelion dubs was that Gainax staff saw the reaction to one of the rebuild movie dubs at a con and had them redub it with more literal dialogue.

     @Pawlicker @sarvo @coolboymew @maxmustermann that's not the point I was trying to make. my point is that demanding the very best translation isn't the standard. it just has to be better than somebody that is deliberately doing a bad job
