AI has really come to a point that it has become a threat when used by the wrong people…..
Varieties of artists get their works(Art, Voices, WIPs and Timelapses, etc.) stolen, fed to AI….and these thieves make money out of it and the artists are clueless about such….
Hell….some people have also been using AI to scam people(family kidnapping scams, etc)…….

shit cant believe i missed the stream
I love how chat was actively being quiet and listening to the conversation
You all know what cyyu says about this right 😅
Ai hate this 🤣
Is he striking because Natlan characters are not black?
Ooow 🥰
Joe give me luck to get wrio c2 on rerun 😢
Enjoy being fired by Hoyo o7
Well done Bran for organising this. People need to be better informed about this. Thank you to you both
Question : What about Furina’s EN VA? Doesn’t she Own Furmosa but also is a VA? Wouldn’t she feel like this , I got this info from a discord server so Im not counting on it , Also Furinas EN VA is one of my faves , Xiao too
i appreciate more insight on this. pardon the unintentional pun but hes really well spoken!!
5:03 AI existing in creative works isn't an issue, but original VA's/Artists need to be fairly compensated for it. Also I don't think AI art should be sold for profit, but I do think it should be able to exist, again provided that the original artist/s get compensation.
In practice in the music industry, that "sample library" contains a whole lotta stolen music for which the original players don't get paid a cent. Just listen to anyone talking about The Winstons and the Amen Break for example…
YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PRECISELY!! I missed it on Twitch because of Studying 🔥🔥🔥
I saw this video like 2 hours ago and immediately went to watch your previous video before seeing this to understand the situation better and i have to say, damn i hope this situation gets better. Also love joe ❤
I thought he looked familiar that Claude von Riegan's VA, I was literally just watching him on twitch
As somebody who has a passion for acting, especially theatre. AI will NEVER replace actors because it cannot replicate true human emotion.
Rye bread!
Cool interview
Gotta love Joe for keeping us informed about this strike
He’s so well spoken and genuinely interesting to listen to when he discusses these issues. A great interview Bran! ❤
I appreciate that Joe was saying AI in the industry itself isn't necessarily the bad thing, but I think the fact it's yet another creative field that is using AI (or presumably plans to due to not wanting to do contracts) in a way meant to increase profits and pay people less is why it's still being put with the "why AI is bad" bundle of topics. Joe raises some good points but from the environmental impact to the ethical impact of it so far, still don't think it's worth pursuing in this field at this time personally, though I can see how it can be helpful in certain cases. Recently saw criticism of Tom Kenny because in some newer SpongeBob movie?? he sounded off and people thought he was replaced but… his voice is just older and SpongeBob has a specific voice that's likely harder for him to do now. Hypothetically I could see things like this being a good use for ethically reproduced AI voices.
absolutely loved this stream, it was super informative and i loved the humor in between lol
Tech usually is meant to benefit the worker or the consumer. How does AI help VAs or the players who play games? All it does is save the big corpos money.
An interesting thing about the whole director/"Higher" positions is that we already have some idea on what its like for them with AI because AI in art feilds already. Basically the art directors cannot work with the AI prompters/ the ai itself to perform the job. The AI isnt responisve towards those specific needs so they cannot fufill the job due to poor subordinates essentialy.
Classic Claude educating the masses and fighting for justice
As an actor, AI will never replace an authentic performance from a person. Creativity can’t be made with AI, that’s only something that people can do. A computer can’t make things that make you laugh or cry. I’m VERY glad you were able to do this!!! Thank you!!!
And stay above the noise y’all!
