Snatcher: "Sometimes I wish I could be more than just an accessory to Vanessa, but unfortunately, as a contractor, I don't get respect." Hat Kid: "Well, I'M not a contractor so maybe she'll respect me!" Snatcher: "...that just makes you a beta peck."
Your emphasis on not trying to retroactively shame people for using TTS programs is really what cements your honesty. We all know at least one person who will just declare that any and all use of [current debated topic] is inexcusable, but your emphasis on the concept of nuance makes it clear you're not just holding up a sign and saying "I support the current thing" because your Twitter feed told you to. Big ups, takes a big person to admit their opinion is not law.
Honestly, not even shaming people who CURRENTLY use TTS programs. Like I mentioned in text, I'm still considering implementing Brian into my stream, despite my worries about how the VA's might have been treated and paid. I actually recently got a follow-up email from Richard. He mentioned that his payment was indeed a single-time payment for his work. (which is sadly REALLY common in the VA/VO sphere.) There was really no way for anyone to predict that TTS technology would be as lucrative as it is now. So that's something that all the VAs will have to live with. At the absolute least though, I feel that these VAs could absolutely be given clearer credit and recognition. And I want people to have a better understanding of how world-changing credit can be for someone's career.
@@Bit-B erm, cause that’s how the human body works. (The original comment ain’t like a insult or anything it’s just something feels weirdly uncanny about it)
Well well... You eventually discovered our very well-kept secret.. Congrats from our team 😎🤝 This wasn't easy! oh and Brian says "hi" 🥸 Also, thank you for bringing forward such an important aspect of current media productions! The Spying Game is available in full on our RU-vid Channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RsJA-TKOQsY.html
Nice video! I agree with your views on AI. As an artist while I don't think my art style will be deliberately trained, I don't really like how just because I dare post it on the internet it's going to be added to the data of AI art and then possibly used as just another image mishmashed in there. Artwork takes a lot of time and skill, so it does feel really insulting when someone just types a prompt and then acts like they're hot stuff. When it comes to voices there are things like concerns of deepfakes being used to harm someone's reputation! And now the issue you bring up with people not being properly credited. If people want to use AI that is fine, but I think we need to put some standards on it so that it doesn't get out of control.
Couple extra notes: 1: During the making of this video, CuriosityStream dropped The Spying Game from their service. So THAT'S some funny timing. I was probably still gonna find Spying Game eventually. It just would have been one more hitch I might have faced had I started searching a month later. 2: I only really made a passing joke about the current desolate landscape that is web searching nowadays. But that's another major facet to my issues. Pretty much ALL web searching tools have become crap. They either give you irrelevant results, or they feed you advertisements instead of what your looking for. Luckily, MANY RU-vidrs have covered this subject, and I'm thankful that it's not going unnoticed.
Ok so this was fascinating! The search was really fun and I’m glad you were also self-aware of yourself. Honestly videos like these really make me more conscious about not just the negatives but also the potential positives and ideas to deal with negative uses of AI. To me AI is has a good potential as a starting gun for research materials that can cater to others reading styles, and having it auto list sources would be incredibly useful for people who are your average Joe who hasn’t have an eye for good sources. One more thing to note, A content creator I watched (Zee Bashew) pitched an interesting idea for AI and art. Data unions where every time a piece of data is sampled, they get a tiny cut. Even if it’s small it means that it can inspire a new generation of artists who try to develop for data sets.
