So do they not even have internal review?
OK, so it gets generated. Just like if someone sent a real recording, someone should listen to it, right? And make mention if there's parts that are noisy, or theres a random change in eq that feels jarring, or... I don't know, because it sounds like an adult voice on a 6yr old reading the lines?
Internal review also takes time and expertise. Those things cost money, and the whole point of the exercise is to not spend money.
No one uses generative AI because they actually care about the quality of the end product.
But even allowing for those points, it's entirely possible that they did, in fact, do quality review. Extensively. But at some point the generation costs exceeded their allowed budget and this is what they settled on. This is the thing that lurks behind bad quality AI art; the fact that what we see is often the best result out of many, many tries. The Coca Cola holiday ad had to be stitched together from hours upon hours of failed attempts. Even the horrendously bad looking end product wasn't as bad as many of the failed outputs they got.
Regarding point 1, its a factored in value already. Replacing multiple stages of production simultaneously is a massive risk - voice acting + editing + editor review + production review on the cut.
This part:
I'd call entirely likely.
It would also mean that there was almost no testing of the llm's output prior to pushing it to production work, or basic items like intonation would have been called out.
Its also possible that the production team knew it was dogshit and pushed it out on purpose so people could see it for dogshit. Anime fans are not known for being supportive of poor adaptations after all, maybe they hoped for backlash? I know if I were on that team I'd prefer it.
At some point I'd expect management to have recognized it for being terrible though.
I seriously doubt that any of the decision makers involved in this process actually watch anime.
Anyone in management who cared probably didn't have enough pull / authority to do a damn thing about it.
But quality control by humans, even by unpaid interns, would exceed the budget!
Hostly, even a dirt cheap language model (with sound input) would tell you it’s garbage. It could itemize problematic parts of the sub.
But they didn’t use that because this isn’t machine learning. Its Tech Bro AI.
This is what replacing workers with AI looks like.
Quality Control? Review? Pffftt, ain't nobody got time for that! just generate and ship, baby, generate and ship!
Think of all the yachts our glorious ~~leader~~ CEO will be able to afford with all the money we're saving 😍😍😍
