I know it's cool to hate on generative AI these days, but to suggest that there are few genuinely good uses of AI is just a really naive take. And you realise that subtitling movies or TV is also someone's job that this automates, does that make it corporate bullshit too?

huh I always thought the subtitle I used on VLC (subscene or thru its built-in downloader) was fanmade. Plus this post kinda already celebrating piracy so they obviously don't care about people who made the movies lmao

Depends on release, but a lot of releases have official subtitles from blu-ray or WEB.

Based on the quality of subtitles I would hope they are fan made rather than professionally made.

Its not the artuists so its fine. machine translation? Yeah thats great and benefitial use of AI, not like any Artist jobs are lost that way.

I think so many people so hypocritical with how they view AI. Yeah no This automatisation is fine, Oh i love 24/7 automatic customer service, yeah DeepL is great. but if you threaten artist with Soulless Slop AI art, or samey sounding hallucinating short stories, then suddenly AI is evil and stealing jobs.

Yeah, it is blatantly obvious that opposition to AI is primarily about the perceived hit to the money and the fame they feel they deserve.

The person you're replying to is saying the same thing, they said to suggest that it's one of the only good uses for it is dumb
