To keep it simple, it is "AI," and it is better than using something like ChatGPT directly for several reasons. The data stays on your device so it isn't used to train future models. It doesn't ping a large data center along with millions of others which draws more power than you simply using your phone. It removes dependency from the companies and theoretically even if a company went under tomorrow you could keep using the app on your phone, even offline.

It is not a panacea., depending on your personal philosophies. Rtranslator says it uses Whisper. This model was trained on a huge set of non consensual data and using a huge amount of power. Same thing with NLLB.

It also uses Google's closed source MLKit which may include telemetry and analytics, but they say they are going to replace it in version 3.0.

I can go into more details if you need but I felt like that was already getting longer for what was supposed to be simple.

    You made a simplified Chinese language post to an English-speaking Canadian instance's community. Rule 9 on their community specifically says you should use the original source UNLESS it is paywalled or not in English.

    You can try and find an instance or community that is primarily Chinese or multilingual or make one yourself. I know hosting a whole instance isn't for everyone though. Alternatively you could just use a platform without voting like mastodon or ice shrimp/miskey etc.

    Cult classic and critically acclaimed anime Banana Fish gets horrifically bad AI dub (empty.win)
     

    The fan-beloved anime series has lacked an official dub since its release in 2018. There may have been a paranormal primate paw involved, however, since their wish (sort of) came true in the worst kind of way.

    To call the Banana Fish AI dub “bad” would be a disservice to bad dubbing. I’m personally a great fan of bad dubbing in certain circumstances. Life would be a little duller without Robot Alchemic Drive‘s infamous bread and water soup, or Chaos Wars‘ infamous… everything. But those are human failures. There’s a certain something with an unintentionally bad creation that makes many of us want to cheer for it. Something poignant and beautiful in failing so fantastically that it elevates the entire experience. If you’re going to fail, fail spectacularly, as they say.

    These AI dubs don’t have the same effect. Maybe it’s the context that makes it more sad and frustrating than funny. This is something that people do for a living, who were not hired and paid to do an infinitely better job, or at the very least given the opportunity to do a bad job. Maybe it’s simply the lack of humanity that can be felt even when it can’t be neatly defined or described. Either way, it’s awful and I want it to go away.

    This may be the outgrowth of Amazon’s AI dubbing initiative launched in March of this year, which started with “12 licensed movies and series.”

    Banana Fish isn’t the only anime to receive the Moonbase Alpha treatment. The ensloppiffication continues with titles such as Pet and the No Game No Life Zero film, which already had a dub.

    Dragon Age: Veilguard lead level designer Brian J. Audette responds to criticisms on Bluesky: "We couldn't have made a better Dragon Age, only a different one." (bsky.app)
     

    In a response to an article written for Bloomberg by Jason Schreier investigating the ten year "development turmoil," lead level designer Brian J. Audette refutes the notion that the game was "compromised" in a post on their bluesky account.

    The full post reads:

    Reposting without comment except: I refute that we made a bad or compromised game. We made the best version of what we released, warts and all. I'm damn proud of it and the team. We couldn't have made a better Dragon Age, only a different one.
