It turns out that complaining about AI online does work… but for lower-stakes controversies, such as Amazon Prime’s decision to give the job of dubbing an anime to artificial intelligence, rather than real-life humans. Shows like Banana Fish, No Game, No Life and Vinland Saga were recently hit with Amazon’s “AI beta” tag. The results, if you haven’t heard ’em yet, are… not good. We’d even call them bad. And now, they’re gone. Mostly.
