How This Scooby-Doo Fan Episode Caused CHAOS By Using A.I. Voices 

yea

yeah, same...

True

So True

It's amazing

Sure is

It honestly shouldn’t be surprising at this point

*cough* Velma *cough*

As someone who actually enjoyed the live action movies, I'm inclined to agree. You can tell that this guy is a genuine fan of "Scooby-Doo! Where are You?"

I think ANYBODY can show massive respect to the Franchise if you are a hardcore fan of scooby doo Heck even a small scooby doo fan can show respect to the franchise

yes

Too true.

Nothing is wrong with using ai…

@@TJ-hg6op Depends..: using it for fun to write a story or recipe or something is harmless. But using it to create episodes using actual voices from VAs is iffy. There’s more nuance to the discussion though than good or bad.

I agree she went way too far there

She has always been a giant asshat who can't hold a stable marriage. Her work just allowed it to be hidden pretty well and bloated her ego to titantic proportions.

She’s treating one broke college student as if he single handedly destroyed her career by making a joke episode :/ Like I get being upset but don’t blacklist him lol

I see it more as some famous, well known person calling up an entire SWAT team and getting a lawyer team just because one guy walked by them

Yeah like what the hell, just because she is an actual va doesn’t mean she should be so harsh on someone who couldn’t even get va’s

She's destroying her public reputation by doing this

And the said small creator isn't profiting. It's a silly little fan project. Ai is not being used for cheating their way past paying actors. It was used to aid a small creator in creating a fun project

Nah idc

"Avoid paying actors" is not the only reason. AI is the only way to get a voice that sounds almost exactly like a previous voice actor for example. Big business can afford anything it wants, in fact most of this anti-AI stuff is coming from them because AI empowers the common person and threatens their dominance. In any case history has shown trying to force an unnatural flow of the economy always creates more problems than it solves. AI has the potential to let people hardly ever work, and we're hindering it because we only think about the short-term benefits.

There's no benefit to this trend.

@@greysnake2903 it’s a very useful tool small creators can use

He deserves it. What an asshole for using AI voices, come on. He's an asshole. Case closed.

Agreed

People over reacting as usual

Exactly

Grey's a shit person so not surprised about that

Exactly

Seriously, we need to remind people of that point especially: it's a fucking Scooby-Doo crossover parody made by some rando online.

@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Exactly.

@@PeterGriffin11 They're really treating this like the Flash using Christopher Reeve's likeness for a pointless cameo

@IamBlorb Shut up

These days why bother making anything yourself if folks are just gonna bitch about it

And then their going to wonder why no one will want to go into the animation industry in 10/20 years.

And he would also not likely get any money from that either. So it just sounds like a greedy voice actor who already has established their career and is not in the poor position blasting hate on a young person who spent so much work and time animating this, plus editing it, adding sounds, and voices, all for no profit, and just for fun. She's so angry that he didn't spend hundreds of dollars on her and the rest of the people. I feel like this is a form of a new type of fan art, I would say. As artists literally copy character designs but with different situations as a form of appreciation (fan art), why this can't be? Of course, if we are talking about a situation, if this guy created a whole cash-grabbing project, then yes, but this?... I don't know.

It also wasn’t her voice used by the AI, it was daphne from the 60s

Yeah cause legit then that puts other means of A.I. in a big jeopardy, Think of all the A.I. song covers being shunted away and out even tho it's just harmless fun either the voice being emitted is someone dead or not I just think it can be a tool for work and play, Not for harmful use but blackmailing this guy for just a parody which I'll add that alot of us love yet these guys don't is just really tedious and unfair tbh

It still normalises it

​@@Givemepeacealone???? So its ok to harass and blacklist him for doing a one-man no budget animation?

​@@Givemepeacealonewhats wrong with normalising ai

@@Givemepeacealone I think the problem is people tend to forget context, and it must be taken in a case-by-case scenario. Sure, some people use it for skits, or even crack jokes on how they can't voice certain characters, but here? The kid could only go so far in the matter when it came to voices, and the voice acting community can be a 50/50.

As punch down as you can get

Grey should feel ashamed!

Like seriously, who hurt you!? This is so petty!! He literally stated that he didn't have very much money for the project Not everyone can afford famous VAs!!

​@@mimisargent766yeah and it's not like the ai voices was used for bad intentions or anything.

@@Sharkkingstudios23 Absolutely childish behavior. If she really is this petty of a person, Playing Azula in Avatar mustn't have been too hard for her.

@@thesnesman5235That… Doesn’t really have anything to do with anything in this scenario.

@@jackhanson3856 that *is* the scenario

While I can’t speak on Daphne or Velma’s original VAs, I do know that Shaggy’s original VA died a while back. However Fred and Scooby share the same VA, Frank Welker; who is still very much alive.

@@jaydonmagan4694and Frank is having the time of life being a VA and Fred Jones was his first role I think

​@@thesnesman5235But who can voice act?

Only thing malicious is an actual voice actor. Making AI look great by comparison

@@zhanucong4614 Yeah but to a much older person it woulf seem like a kid to them is what they mean. Not literal

@@HeilRay Dude don't

@@zhanucong4614you mean not fully grown?

mhm

Yeah

Exactly

Yeah, as long as AI voice replication is used for harmless videos and not official media it's alright in my book

thats a valid explanation but there are some VA’s could do voice overs for free.

Yup. The strike wouldn’t be as bad as people make it out to be if it turns out to be only voice actors are the ones getting replaced with ai

Agreed

I don’t feel bad about using AI. Replacements like this have been going on for centuries.

Yeah, i dont see a problem with ai voice acting as long as it isn't used for monetary gain. This was a silly little fan project, not a huge company.

what does the strike have to do with anything? this guy wouldn't be able to get anyone from the union anyways, so they aren't losing money.

Yeah. She didn’t have to do that. He wasn’t taking anyone’s jobs away and he doesn’t even have the money to hire much voice actors. The fact that Grey DeLisle went on and blacklisted this guy just for making a fan made animation just for fun, she is literally acting no different than Vicky from The Fairly Odd Parents.

Technically if he is not in the money making machine that is Hollywood he hasn't been black listed yet.

@@angelinacamacho8575 True, but my point still stands. I share many creators, animators, writers, and VAs concerns about AI being trained using their likeness, and I genuinely believe the criticism is warranted in that regard. But she didn't have to blast him like that on Twitter (or X now, apparently), especially knowing the mob mentality people have on that site.

@@joshuamartinez1771 She truly turned into Azula on this man.

Grey's type of behavior is only just gonna make people wanna use AI voices even more.

Remember when Futaba Sakura's VA left twitter? It was due to AI neckbeards bullying her all because she told one person to take down a video of Futaba singing Welcome To The Internet.

@@ChaseMC215 We already discussed this but even so, this is a harmless fan animation done by some rando on a budget of ten dollars as per his own admission

@@ChaseMC215This is an entirely different genre of video and entirely different voice actor, you can’t compare the two just because AI was used.

@@ChaseMC215And that woman was wrong for doing that as well.

@@ChaseMC215 someone asking for a video to be taken down vs "BLACKLIST THIS YOUNG PASSIONATE CREATOR WITH A SHOESTRING BUDGET... BECAUSE HE ISN'T *ME* AND CAN'T AFFORD AN ENTIRE IMPERSINATION CAST. STRIKE!!" is a crazy comparison ngl

Imagine if she and others did the same with all of those GoAnimate videos

​@@georgiecota1991😂

She probably didn't know it was a 23 year old making 1 single fan project. (And misspelling her name certainly didn't help!) In general if someone is using AI to put your voice into something made for profit without your consent or compensation, that IS a legitimate reason to be upset. But here, I think it was just a misunderstanding. Now if this guy goes on to make dozens of these films and DOES start profiting off them, THAT'S an issue!

​@@JustJustin.It's not her voice, she confirmed that herself on Twitter so she has no right to be mad.

@@Jyrone Well, I don't use Twitter, but her name is in the video's credits (albeit misspelled) Regardless, she might just be mad at A.I. voices in general, and only came across the video due to her association with the franchise. I doubt it was anything personal.

I went in know the voices weree in AI but I couldn't really hear ANY of the usually AI Jank

@@paulsander5579 Right. No distortions. I'm assuming he might've found a way to get Fred, Daphne, and Velma mixed.

@@Power-9Hunnid and shaggy were played by a actual voice actor that's what the 10-dollar budget was used on actually

@@Power-9Hunnid I think a lot of it has to do with how he used the audio filter. It hides a lot of the 'artifacts' created by AI, and makes the entire thing sound smoother.

yeah most of the time people talk or use audio and the ai goes off of that@@Ijustusethistocommentstuff

AI should never be a replacement, it should be used to help and enhance art as well as help those who simply don't have the resources or means to do so normally.

@@semario2606Agreed. I know a friend of mine on here that has to use AI for that similar reason. Do I still find AI voice acting problematic, yes. Does it mean it should be bashed all the time, no.

@@lunamelody2025 As someone who would like to see AI usage in this area remain really limited & appreciates the value of real human VAing, I don't actually see a big problem with small creators using AI voice cloning completely throughout their creations, not just where necessary. I think AI voice cloning is relatively harmless in small doses like making a few videos or memes or whatnot, though the state of human society right now makes self-discipline & moderation fairly difficult, which increases the caution we should have about AI voice cloning, including things like bad profiteering & negatively influencing the human creative process entirely. But in terms of, say, new fanmade episodes of cartoon shows you like, I don't think that's altogether bad in principle, though we should be cautious in those cases. Things like making memes or less professional fanmade animation is less concerning from that as well, but caution is still warranted even there.

I like your logo bro

I hope Eagan makes original cartoons now after this. These voice actors, writers and animators have now turned on him and I feel... just bad for him. He's such a talent animator and I don't want him getting crushed like what happened to another indie animator (which was TRToons). This is why working for animation is vastly different from how it was during the 1920s up until 2013...

I don't see why AI is an issue. It may be true that voice actors will lose their current jobs, but you can't hold back all innovation just to protect an industry in the short term. Unlike everyone seems to think there is never a good solution to anything, only less bad ones.

@@crystalvulpine2314 I do disagree. The core of the issue is you can translate this argument to all industries; art and literature are just big examples. It's not a question of whether they could continue in this direction (you are right that innovation will continue on this path), it's whether ETHICALLY should we accept it? Moreso an issue of those who own these technologies across industries (healthcare/art/etc.) Should we accept AI driven projects with the consequences of losing jobs, breaking industries, hurting a wider economy, and losing a "human element?" I personally say no, and when it comes to art as a business, I would try to not support those projects. But to each their own.

@@34Nor It doesn't break the industry. Your only concern is preserving jobs in the industry, at the expense of literally everything else. Eventually AI could let us never have to work again, which would benefit everyone big time, including those who lost their artistic jobs.

@@crystalvulpine2314 I understand what you are saying, and it is very optimistic. But consider this: there are many in society who do not believe we should be compensated for existing; that social support frameworks are a waste of taxpayer money and investment. Do you believe in the scenario that if AI replaces all human work, that those in power will adjust to creating frameworks which allow for those who are not working to pursue self fulfilling interests and live comfortably? While I believe it is a possibility, I don't see such things coming true anytime soon, and in the interim there will be a lot of hardship for those affected. I agree with you that AI has the potential of making life easier, but it should not come at the cost of hardship in between.

@@34Nor AI is a major threat to those in power, which is why they hate it the most. The only way for them to maintain their power is to restrict AI to only themselves, which is what they're trying to do by passing anti-AI legislation. Don't be fooled, the rules don't apply to themselves, only you and me.

Not just the internet nigga it's always been like this everyone wants to be the hero and defend against a change to something before they can understand it whether it be religion, politics, health, entertainment and junk. People want to feel like they saved something that doesn't really need too much saving.

From what I understand Eagan said he didn't have the funds for VAs. Otherwise he would have

You know how people have been telling him on Twitter that he could have just asked on social media and gotten like 50 people wanting to work for free? Always comes from soneone with more exposure. The people who shit on him are out of touch rich asswipes and people with so much status now that they've fucking drowned in their own shit. They're all in their own little bubble, and want to monopolize EVERYTHING. Even the most harmless of fun like memes. They want to have their cliques of VA's in everything like some kind of Chinese commie invasion of every nation or something like how China wants to run the world.

​@@Cubeytheawesomenothing gets a break from the drama. Even AI when used properly like how this guy did because he's not Warner Bros rich, still gets drama started in a matter of seconds

y'know, I get the "but the actors won't get paid" thing, I really do, but I feel like there are some situations in which using A.I. isn't the end of the world, nor will hurt anybody; - as many people point out, actors are kind of expensive, but also on that point is whether they'll actually agree regardless of money, because of what you want them to say. A.I. doesn't have an ego to break, an image to uphold, or emotions to feel embarrassment. without A.I., good luck getting Charles Martinet or some impersonator to sing the hot meme song of the year in an authentic Mario voice. - let's face it, actors will die and a some of them are already dead. unless we figure out Necromancy and bring someone like Rick May back from the dead, A.I. is the ONLY way we're getting our hands on that voice, among others. - not all voices used are gonna be actors, so we won't need to worry about *them* getting paid because they were never paid for their voices anyway. - I don't think you can just hire a child voice actor as an ameteur animator, that sounds kinda weird and impossible. plus, some famous child actors have grown up, there's NO hiring that voice anymore even if you're a large company. I know A.I. voices and whatever are scary and we fear they're gonna replace us, but I personally believe that the original ways of animating and voice acting might finally be recognised as art forms and stick around, and we need to stop being so negative about A.I. because I think it'll allow people with less skill to get their stories and/or memes (probably the latter) out into the world.

​@@pillowmint4622exactly this. If anything, trying to get rid of ai HURTS creativity and gatekeeps small creators simply because they aren't skilled enough and dont have as much money....hrmmm....who does that sound like? OH RIGHT. THE BIG BAD COMPANIES EVERYONE SAYS THEY HATE. How are you gonna hate companies yet basically pull similar gatekeeping and punching downwards as them?

I really don’t like what society is becoming.

I respect voice actors, but I don’t harass anyone just because they make a harmless fan made project they make. Besides, a lot of voice actors are against AI taking their jobs themselves, but they shouldn’t be blacklisting people who make stuff just for fun. I also feel like this is really bad timing considering the fact that the Writer’s Strike is going on a fight against AI right now.

as much as i hate AI i agree

I agree idk why it matters I get it as a big company but as a independent creator or a small team nothing is wrong with ai anything

Not to mention now he managed to get actual VA later on, which is how AI should be used. as a Tool to Aid instead of Replace or use as the End Result, Don’t use AI to Replace Artist, Animators or VA’s, just use it to aid in a small portion of your projects until you can financially Hire artists

Seriously go after the big companies that wanna scab, not this.

VA work, at least, doesn't do much harm on a low-budget, one-person production. Studios replacing VAs will still have a hard time doing so, thankfully. More pushback should go towards the companies, especially for writing/concept art. They should be the ones that get screwed over for using AI, not independent creators.

@@Ijustusethistocommentstuff Technically there were two VAs but even if there wasn't he's not obligated to do so.

@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 I'm actually agreeing with you on this, just adding that there's little harm replacing VAs on independent projects. edit: Also, on fan projects like Springtrapped, the inherently volatile nature of its existence due to copyright also plays a major factor, meaning less people's time and effort will go to waste due to DMCA claims, if there may be any.

AI needs to die. But this content creator did nothing wrong.

As a man who is against AI taking jobs away, I understand AI is a big deal for all actors alike, but they shouldn’t overreact like this when someone makes a project just for fun. They can’t even have actual voice actors or impersonators all the time. It is very costly sometimes.

@@joshuamartinez1771 agreed

We shouldn't stay in the stone age for the rest of eternity because new innovations replace jobs every now and then. There's no perfect solution where no one gets hurt, but in the long term AI has the potential to completely take over work, without the pain or boredom we feel, and that would be very good for us all.

Ai still takes the voice actors voices without their consent, if indie creators use it, big creators will

*The reason why he used AI voices was because he didn’t HAVE enough money to afford voice actors in the first place. . . This was a simple fan project, not a pilot for a TV that was planning to air!*

an option thats a good in-between is the option used for ai song covers, where instead of the ai generating a voice from nothing- instead you give the ai an audio sample and it puts the characters voice over it. that way the creator could still get emotion out of the characters in a way the traditional ai couldnt without needing the money hire a VA

I agree with this take.

Same here memes and fan projects are OK.

There is a fan made OK K.O. Project someone named RedClawedPro made on RU-vid. The RU-vidr used AI for the voices of the characters and I see nobody complaining. I can understand that RedClawedPro can’t get the voice actors to do that and I know he probably means no harm to any actors. I too don’t mean any harm to any actors. They’re acting is brilliant, but they shouldn’t overreact on a harmless project with AI voices just because they can’t get actual actors.

so, what if he had used an ai to generate the voice and the animation itself?

@@Leostar-Regalius he used blender, doesn't look ai generated

I'm pretty sure Grey wasn't talking about hiring the official Scooby-Doo voice actors. People can do impressions of characters and its protected since its considered parody.

Oh no! Their writers is on strike! Is it because their ungrateful, or Maybe it’s because their is not enough pay due to the fact all creatives (animators, writers) have to live in the most expensive place that is Hollywood to get a job that is temporary not stable! They’re literally paid miserable paychecks, with the unemployment reaper behind their asses, but triple the workload! But not enough pay. Come on! Wake up! Hollywood BARELY puts out anything worth while on tv, that’s why most of us are here on RU-vid, there’s a lot of misses than wins on theatrical box office! Hell! Why not go after the companies that are looking to using AI to replace writers than attacking one 23 year old who is just making something fun! Probably in college as I am! You don’t even know! You don’t even know of what they’re doing is just a hobby that they do on the side! Because NO striving creative should even glance at Hollywood bc of how MESSY things are right now, few friends who major animation, and hope to work to Hollywood are looking in changing majors after seeing how BAD things are there, it’s not worth the debt. That person didn’t deserve that hate, people just love ruining innocent people, but let the real guilty ones feast on the money and get away with it. Yeah, I’d rather prefer to do art and animation for fun on the side, and have a REAL stable job behind me, so I don’t freaking starve! I would certainly definitely don’t have the money to hire an expensive VA to come to my state to play a part! Neither can this animator! Or any other who’s going solo😐

I don't have room to talk since I'm only 15, but still he is so young and just wanted to animate something for what I'm ASSUMING is one of his favorite childhood tv shows. Only to get shut down by one of the OFFICIAL voice actors all over the fact he used AI to "impersonate" the gang's voices, No offense but Grey needs to grow up.

And if one person blew up an orphanage with 1 c4, imagine how much damage I could do to those corporate assholes with 1,000 c4!!!

​@just_an_internet_explorer8038 what's wrong with AI voices?

@@blocks4857 In their case, nothing. But if you're some million / billion dollar movie company and uses AI Voices, your just a greedy business looking to cut corner to fill your own pockets by hurting people out of the job. But for a project like this that isn't budgeted enough to hire anyone or even for Commercial use (Selling to the masses) AI voices are a pass as long as you abide by the other uses as well. (Now if you used AI to build everything, Animation / Story Board / and Voice Acting, then there are some problems.) But in my belief AI shouldn't be a solution but rather a crutch for those unable to do anything without it. (They wanted the voices to sound like the original casts, and they couldn't provide without using AI)

Because people are so scared of ai replacing them, and if they think that a video of the scooby doo gang meeting spring trap with artificial voices will hurt them, then they need to get a reality check 😅

​@@William99387 lol it already hurt them. Just look at all the people defending the "innocent" guy.

@@jeromealday614 bruh

@@jeromealday614 tf does that got to do with anything?

​@@jeromealday614 Because using AI for a passion fan project is obviously different from corporations trying to use it in an exploitative manner? Because being blacklisted and hindered from growing in the industry (and thus being able to use real VAs more readily) is a gross overreaction? Were you dropped on your head much as a child?

Question…..what was his mistake in the first place? Is it illegal to use AI voices now or somethin? AI used for projects completely illegal now,

Its not illegal, just frowned upon by the Voice Actor community. He even admitted he doesn’t like AI either, he just had no money to pay anyone.

Well its not really a mistake it was a last resort And besides he shouldn't of apologized

True. No one should apologize for something out of their control

Same here and sure is

Now all we need is a Ghostbusters crossover

@@ashuraomega1000 I believe there was a video of that like 8 years ago I think.

@@azimuddin1890 How about Courage the Cowardly Dog with FNAF?

@@blackdemonknight Yee

It’s very well paced too. Like it surprisingly feels like a classic episode of the original series despite having half the runtime.

I mean, I get why she got mad, given that AI could potentially harm her and other actors' careers if it gets that bad, but she didn't need to go that harshly on him for messing with AI voices. Though, I think it's good that the guy that made this animation is willing to have a re-dub of it with 100% real actors. It's actually not that hard to find actors that are willing to do it for free, but the quality may or may not be good depending on the person.

@@goldenninja9053 I know, right? At least you understand where I am getting at right now.

​@@goldenninja9053Plus, AI without any people can hurt other people and their careers. What's funny is that Charlie The Robot can be seen as a commentary on that. I don't want to sound like I'm taking sides, I do agree with her but it is a bit much to tell all the VAs she knows who not to work with, despite not having enough money to hire people with names like hers.

Yes harass the talented indie animator by blocking his access to actual VAs, *very* smart.

​@@goldenninja9053 Futaba Sakura's VA was bullied off of Twitter because of AI neckbeards who are bullying her just because she told the creator of one video to take it off the internet.

Feels more like Rankin Bass.

@@roxassora2706 It's definitely Rankin Bass.

@@roxassora2706they both are inspired by Rankin Bass with a little of their own style and it’s great

And Rankin Bass, yes. I forgot to mention that too, loved those films.

yeah, now they are going to sound off, dont back down because a rich whatever tells you too.

Yeah

Every meme video I see by Kracc Bacc or Meme Zee uses TTS and nobody complains about that. Animators who make fan animations for fun can’t always get the voice actors or impersonators to do voices for characters. It’s not their fault.

I know right?

Maybe

context: an actor for shaggy is acting william afton for the fnaf movie

⁠@@BumbleBoiMSMThat’s the current VA actually, after fans voted for him.

​@@BumbleBoiMSMI'm more fascinated with a Scream crossover, but both are cool.

That be too obvious

I knew it was AI but was shocked to find that anyone had a problem with it. But apparently most people want anyone who uses AI condemned to Hell.

He's supposed to be an homage to the Rankin/Bass animations

@@TrulyOutrageousDoll1986 oh I knew that :)

And even if the companies are dumb enough to do that it still wouldn't be the dude's fault since it's up to the companies to make those decisions.

Neo Luddites are gonna Neo Luddite

Having worked in corporate world myself, my boss will surely hire Eagan because he demonstrated he is very proficient to use AI to meet the company's objectives. The company will not pay attention to the skilful animation work he put out.

How is it harmful for ai to be used in youtube videos?

@@William99387 idk I kinda just said that cuz that’s what I imagine she would say had she decided to go that route

Agreed, leave the creator off with a warning and recommend some smaller scale voice actresses.

1984

@@Cubeytheawesome ???

​@@CubeytheawesomeWhy yes, we are at war with Eurasia.

It isn't the only option lol It is a cheap way. Casting Call Club is the way to go.

@@Ranuyasha True using AI voices is the cheapest way out, But even on Cast Call Club some actors expect payment and there are lots of people out there that still can't afford it.
