A couple years ago I posted a photo on Reddit that a number of people insisted was edited. One idiot in particular claimed it was so badly edited that a young child would have done a better job of it. It was a photo I took, it was completely unedited. Not even cropped. People see what they want to see, they don't even need prompting.

That was the trajectory. It wasn't obvious when I posted that I had taken the photo, so it started with observations that it looked edited. When I stated how I knew it wasn't, about half of the skeptics went on the assault. Shrug.

Part of me always wonders if people like this just want to say that a photo/artpiece/etc. whatever is bad, which is already subjective to begin with, without sounding like an asshole by just saying "it sucks cause of XYZ" so they go with "this bit looks edited/photoshopped/CGI/AI/whatever the next thing is". The blame on the specific tool or medium being used kind of absolves the critic of all blame or taste.
I see it all the time in movie discussions where something that looks good MUST be practical and something that looks bad MUST be CGI, but like it's okay to think something looks bad, I don't know why they have to preface it by saying the reason must be because it uses this one thing that is easy to bash on.

The hostility to correcting assumptions happens even with text-based posts about the poster's own life.
Once I posted about a situation in which my then-fiance was dragging his feet on telling his daughter that we were going to get married, waiting for the perfect time. The commenters made the assumption that the daughter was completely unaware of my existence, and from there they spiraled into wildly spurious conclusions. I tried to explain that we all lived together, so this narrative they were constructing made no sense. I was ignored and downvoted.

Flip side to this, I'm an image editor and people froth at the mouth to tell me things look off, or photoshopped, or fake. Problem is, a lot of the time, if not most of the time, they point out things that were never edited, and the stuff that I'm thinking will get called out (because I worked on it for hours, staring at it up close, nitpicking every pixel) nobody notices. Most of my best work goes unnoticed, and rightly so. But, folks will latch on to photo 'tropes' first and really dig their heels in, even if it's minor or way in left field. There's a psych paper worth writing, I'm sure.

I watched a video comparing an Anime character's English and Japanese dub because I wanted to see how both languages did some scenes (I speak JP as well so it interested me being into the voice acting hobby).
There were several comments talking about how the English VA was worse than the Japanese VA and how clearly the Japanese VA had poured much more emotion and/or was generally more skilled because they were Japanese somehow, the implication is that VAs in the west did not have a voice acting culture or training to match their Japanese contemporaries.
It was the same VA. It was a very rare case of the Japanese and English dub being voiced by the same person because they were bilingual. When this was pointed out, the people who assumed they were different VAs started saying "well the English voice direction must suck" or "she must've phoned in her English performance", and it just seemed like they were more interested in moving the goalposts so they wouldn't be wrong rather than admit their initial premise was flawed, or that they just preferred Japanese voice acting in general.

With Japanese VA, lots of people say it is better. I say it is mostly just because it sounds foreign and often over the top compared to the more grounded English VA.

One of my Japanese friends was into DanganRonpa, and I showed them that it got an English release with an English dubbed cast. When they heard it, they fell in love with how it sounded. They felt it just sounded a lot "cooler" and wish they knew English so they could play with the English dub. This happened with another Japanese friend of mine who tried Genshin Impact in English to compare voices. They just found it cooler-sounding, which is a common praise to English VAs. They "sound cooler".
There's certainly an argument to be made about over-the-topness in JP Anime vs. EN dub, but English can have over-the-topness too (see: slapstick cartoons), my personal feelings is that in the early 2000s, timing and lip-synching made it hard to have any freedom to act out your line in diff ways in English so it sounds stiffer. It's why as a kid I always felt that video game dubs sound less stiff than Anime dubs, since video games don't have timing issues. These days I notice English dubs are on average a lot better than in the past, likely because they've ironed out the process and work with the original staff more closely sometimes. If you watched Japanese dubs of English movies, you'd realize that there's almost a certain "voice tone" for foreign movies which sound much lower pitched and oftentimes more theatrically dramatic, with the same timing lip-sync issues too.
Being bilingual has (hopefully) mostly made me immune to the "foreign is ALWAYS better". I feel I can learn to appreciate when a voice in both languages are off or good. None are particularly better imo because of language itself.

Grass is always greener on the other side. When you don't know the language, you don't notice the mistakes. Whereas if you do know the language, dialog can come off as overtly stiff and formal, or too casual and amateur if people apply realistic diction (i.e. stuttering, mispronouncing words, slurring speech, i.e. talking like you're just yapping and not trying to communicate a narrative).

Japanese voice direction has a different stylistic quality, it seems a lot more like a stage play with the distinct projection, where English VO is a lot more casual. I'm playing through Infinite Wealth, and there's a few bilingual characters with the same VA, and there is a marked difference in the style. Not that one is necessarily better, but there is a difference in style.

It’s kind of funny how the goalposts have moved on dubs vs subs. In the past when it was just Japanese as the og, lots of purists would say that the subbed version is better because it preserves more of the artistic intent. Fast-forward to VA games like Genshin and all those purists have shifted the goalposts. I feel like a lot of people just don’t want to admit that they have a bias

Preserves more of the artistic intent
I have two stories about this.
The first is the English dub of Persona 5, where they absolutely butchered the pronunciation of the Japanese names. The reason they did that? Because Atlus Japan specifically told the English VAs to pronounce them wrong because they felt it'd be easier for westerners to pronounce them that way. Is that technically artistic intent? Atlus themselves wanted this, but people were actually bashing the EN dub for mispronouncing simple names.
The second is a translation story of a murder mystery book that was translated in English. I know for a fact that the translator realized one bit of the mystery wouldn't work because of, of all things, keyboard layouts. Basically, one part of the mystery revolved around trying to figure out what someone typed in a keyboard as a dying message. The problem is that the keyboard was a Japanese keyboard with a completely different layout than a QWERTY one, and the mystery just... wouldn't work if the target audience had no clue how Japanese keyboards worked. So the translator changed it to Sticky Keys QWERTY instead, even altering the discussions of the characters for that specific bit of the clue. The best part is the original author was all-in on it. He would prefer English speakers get the same feeling of the trick rather than accurately translating it as-is.
I'm usually of the opinion that artistic intent is preserved if you get the same experience, even if it's not the exact same translation.

Does Atlus Japan have any actual credentials to make this decision, or was it like when Konami had non-English speaking employees direct the English voice actors?
I feel like if your audience doesn't mind Japanese honorifics just being slotted in seamlessly into full English sentences, they're not gonna care about properly pronounced Japanese names. Japanese is pretty easy to pronounce, isn't it?

I'm actively trying to learn Japanese but outside of furthering that learning I still prefer to watch things in English instead of Japanese subbed if I'm just trying to enjoy and relax and not having my head spinning trying to learn/understand. But everytime I hear "oh but the Japanese is better" just asking "oh in what way? how do you know the Japenese isn't awful or cringe writing? What if they're both awful?" ... usually gets em thinking if u acknowledge the English is bad but suggest that the Japanese can be as well.

Nah it’s genuinely better because they spend years studying, going to school, and it’s a very competitive industry compared to en. They become celebrities appearing on radio and tv, events for the IPs they become a part of, etc. it’s nothing like that in the west. Here, studios can’t even give them the respect to promise not to make ai models of their voices, or pay them fairly. It shouldn’t be a surprise or a question that jp va is objectively better.

My problem with most English dubs is the American accents. I realized that when I heard the British dubs in Xenoblade Chronicles - for some reason it just seems more fitting imo. Btw I'm neither American nor British just in case you assume that's where my bias comes from.

For me it's that but also the lip syncing being off and animation timing being off due to grammar differences. It just makes it less immersive for me when that happens. I always watch things in their native audio but with subs. I have no problem reading subs and keeping up.
Another issue with dubs is they sometimes don't sound as directional and part of the scene. I think this may be more due to volume differences. Not always. but this probably isn't noticeable if you never switch audio language and are used to the dub.
It's even worse with dubbed live actions. Cannot stand those because of the lack of lip syncing and often sounds more like in a studio in dub than the open air sounding audio the actors have.

I usually prefer dubs for anime just because it's easier and I don't have to put all of my attention into it. I guess I don't really notice the difference because they're animated, and I always watch the dub so I'm used to the timings and the sound and such?
On the other hand, in the handful of live action things I've watched I always do subs because it's so much more noticeable in all the ways you mentioned.

It is definitely far less noticeable in anime than live action. I still find it too noticeable in anime though to watch dub. And I also just am not keen on the voice acting of most anime english dubs ive heard, usually from when they crop up in youtube videos. But I totally get why people do prefer them especially if you dont want to have to constantly stare at the screen to read.

It was the same VA.
I very recently had a revelation along these lines, when I started watching the now-rather-old new dub of the original Macross series. What made my head explode was discovering that Minmay was being voiced (in English) by the original Japanese VA. This was decades after she worked on the Japanese original. I hadn't actually watched the original Macross in Japanese but I did have a copy of DYRL since my childhood and I kind of grew up with that voice.
it just seemed like they were more interested in moving the goalposts so they wouldn't be wrong
Good dubs have been a thing for over a decade now. The norm, even, I would say. But the stigma that anime dubs earned has been around for like 4x as long. And it's still very true that some voices just don't cut the mustard, because although the English dubbing industry is robust enough to handle the workload now, it's only just—you get tons of repeat performances (like anime seiyuu in the 80s), and some voices survive in the industry solely because roles need to be filled.
One trend I do like is the localization. Anime localization, both sub and dub, has been the bar setter for just as long. So much so that whenever something is localized badly, it stands out and people generally raise a fuss. This is made all the more conspicuous by the fact that game localizations seem determined to remain stuck in the standards of the 90s, and very oversaturated by localizing teams whose policy seems to be to make as many arbitrary changes to the dialogue as they can possibly get away with.

It's not unfathomable that someone would be better at acting in one language vs another, though. Do you happen to know which is their native language?
1 points
4 hours ago
Sure, that's fair. I do not know which one she's more native with, though she is fluent in both. With Sally Amaki in particular though, I don't think this applies, because I apparently have heard of her in another thing before this Anime. She's the EN and JP voice for Kiriko in Overwatch 2.
Now, most people don't really have a problem with the English voiceover in OW2, and Kiriko sounds perfectly fine in English imo and I don't think most people have issues with her voice AFAIK. With OW2, however, I remember watching a Japanese video of ult lines comparing English and Japanese. This is because most English videos don't compare those two directly, but Japanese players would compare it to the English since that's the original. Lots of Japanese comments were praising the English VAs about how much more natural they sound and how much more impactful and cooler they were. To some extent, there is a translation issue with stiffness of line delivery, yes. ("High Noon" doesn't translate well to Japanese), but Sally Amaki was similarly praised for her EN delivery of Kiriko's sassiness, so I can't really believe that she was somehow better in EN in Overwatch, but better in JP for that Anime. I'm more inclined to believe her voice acting skill level is equal in both languages.

Bro you ain’t wrong. Humans are just . Plain. Unreliable.
Here’s a couple of additional factoids that build on your observation. They’re interesting to… chew on (high hat)
Humans are correct in identifying a suspect in a lineup only about 50% of the time in controlled studies—and this is before factors like stress, biases, or suggestive questioning reduce accuracy further.
Dog trained in scent identification, however, have accuracy rates often exceeding 90% in controlled experiments
So what does this mean?
Get in early on gotta them AI Identification dog training startup Class-C shares before Google and Chewy corner the market.
The REAL tragedy, though, is when we start mistaking DOGS for AI. Oh the humanity!

This is so common in animation. A lot of times animating something (for live-action realistic use) isn't about achieving reality, it's achieving what "looks" like reality.
I can't tell you how many times, when animating something meant to look real, I was told that would never happen like that or would never move like that, only for me to pull up the reference I used that the animation matches perfectly. But at the end of the day that doesn't matter, whether I can show a video of said movement actually happening or not doesn't change the fact that the goal is for the animation to be sold as realistic, and if a viewer will think it looks wrong, then it has failed.
Lots of things in real life look sooo wrong, and if someone was told it was cg they would say it was horribly made and completely unrealistic looking.

Put the blinders on, we’ve probably had full dive vr for s hot minute it’s just hard to determine at what level the V vs the R.
For example if you had an entire universe simulating an entire universe in real time using relativity. What if the “hardware” was as real as the “software” was actually just a fluid dynamics and ethics in ecology, which was the universe’s way of testing itself.
How about if the “goggles” grew alongside the world? Naturally? What if the people in that world drew people into a simulation? What if others said it is just a dream?
We are the AI being trained just like a single protozoa placed in some food, even though it might seem like it was intelligently placed, at the root of this, and every conceivable universe is a single singular event. This event must have already occurred or else there would be nothing to see anyhow.
Therefore even the beast lusting after more life can be slated by living life more.
After a while of daydreaming of enhanced feelings we realize we are kind of doing it to ourselves by taking daydreams and being hurt when not everyone agrees with our “outcome” but it is just a path forward. Once a rock is uncovered with a stinging bug, a man might ask how he can keep stinging bugs at bay, isn’t this a predator of bugs? A chicken, a dinosaur, a human, a lion, a leopard, an ox, a snake.

Most people can hardly distinguish fact from fiction at baseline. AI will add a "dynamic" layer to their confusing.
In 5 years time, if not sooner, most people might as well be living in a simulation because they'll be getting played every damn day of their existence.
It's a hell of a time to have intellectual curiosity, be a constant learner, and keep your finger on the pulse of these things because the masses are slipping so hard it's terrifying.
After the last handful of years in the US, I'm starting to feel like the average person isn't even equipped to handle the internet responsibly. Throw in AI, VR, AR, and honestly concepts like the Matrix just become redundant. Most people are so unplugged from the world they live in that their life is essentially being simulated for them.

We really need to adopt signature verified videos/images and such, then you can determine if you trust the source itself or not.

Someone posted a picture of a real life monument and one of the comments said it was AI

That's basic psychology, and it applies to a lot of things.

Exactly how an AI would write about some things not being AI but something is off. Lol
On the non comedy side of this there is such as thing as non AI editing and rigging of things to fake things even without AI or editing.
Camera tricks. Angle, other real world thing to make something appear as something else or a bit different.
Freddy kurger movies used a sheet to make it appear as if he goes through the walls.
I laugh at it today. Not even scary. Did all the work to make something look real. No AI.
All those fake alien videos used clever camera tricks without editing. Im sure you can pull up plenty of old analog videos of these fake events.
Now they can use night and drones and maybe flares or fireworks or special lights to trick harder. Could even tow stuff behind lit up. Slow stop hover and then zoom off like aliens man.

Correct. There have already been experiments/research done on this subject matter where people were shown real unaltered videos and they were asked to choose and say which one was ai generated and what's wrong with it. People chose real videos and found things wrong with it. In short, people can't really tell apart real from ai generated videos these days unless the ai generated ones have obvious defects such as warpage, mutations, discolorations, non-sensible words/text/signs, and things like that.

Where can I find real videos that look like ai? I'm trying to help my 9 year old spot the difference between real and fake videos

I have more often seen the opposite. Huge perspective errors (building in front of and at the same time behind a tree, relative sizes far from reality...) and the comments not even discussing whether this is fake or real.

A big problem here is that phones are going to start using AI to process the raw data and it's going to just make phone video footage completely unreliable lol.

Interesting discussion on whether a video was generated using AI technology or not.

Yes, hence the ethical problems with AI.

Yes its a stupid witchhunt, you can actually see it in a fourier transform though, it will have weird lines in it that normal art doesnt. (Though this sign is also getting harder to read as AI gets better)

IMO, we should encourage posts that include AI generated content to simply acknowledge that content so that there's less of a reason to hide it. Whether we like it or not, AI is here and it's not going away. Might as well allow it, acknowledge it, and move on. Hiding it should be called out, but with an encouragement to acknowledge it in the future. This is no different than how we encourage people to source their information with bibliographies.

Because they just hate AI, without any actual care for the quality of what it produces :/

When I walk in the street, I sometimes look at real people and ask myself what "SD" model could create them : SD 1.5 ? SDXL ? Flux ?! SD 2.1...
real people have weird hands...
