This is disheartening.
The only thing that I want AI for in video production, is fixing dubbed live action TV and movies.
It would be great if the native actor's voice was used for the language dub, and if their lips matched the new dub.
I know we all hate AI, and for a great reasons, but this is one of the few cool things that I think were been really beneficial - and I think could get buy-in from actors, with a limited AI release for this express purpose.
I work in the dubbing industry, and I can tell you AI is not a solution. Sure, it'll be a "nice have" if there is no dubbing available, but you can say the same for shitty subtitles.
The reality is, if you want quality work, you need to pay a bunch of people for it.
Dubbing translation is different than regular translation, because it has to fit the mouth movements with the syllable count and other things like billabials matching.
I could go on, but I'm just saying it's as complex as other things you probably don't consider AI fit for.
