People that voted for Trump think the Dems are and have been destroying America. The general perspective seems to be "the party I voted against is trying to destroy my country". Propaganda and foreign interference has gotten America to this point. Poor education standards aren't helping.

I can appreciate your viewpoint here, but there are a lot of good people in this world that are married to absolute scumbags.

Dude, thank you for this context. I was already aware of these considerations but just wanted to thank you for sharing this with everyone. Its participation like this that makes the internet a better place. 🍻

The scope of each of those games is so vastly different that I don't think that's a fair comparison. The art styles are wildly different too.

What is the point? All this serves is to make any community you loose this on objectively worse.

This kind of "project" directly contributes to the degeneration of the internet. Please don't do that.

This is the same brand of thinking that props up the flat earth community.

Everything's a conspiracy and everyone but "us" is in on it.

I have to say that I absolutely love all of the nordic accents in English. Also, I find that nordic English speakers are the most comprehensible of all non-native speakers. Often y'all speak a cleaner and more beautiful sounding English than anything you'll find in North America, especially in terms of vocabulary. It's just so nice and flowery. Any time I hear a nordic accent the speaker immediately has my full attention. Lol

I lived in France for eight months a couple years back and yeah, it can be hard to understand when they speak English, but sometimes it can be captivating too. It really depends on the speaker.

I totally agree with you. I can't read the article because it requires an account. What I'm concerned about is the highly likely anglo-centric nature of this tool; as in it likely only alters the Indian accent for the convenience of the english speaking customer and likely does nothing to facilitate the work for the employee whose first language is likely not english.

Also, white North Americans are already culturally sheltered enough as it is, last thing I think we need is automation that neutralizes manifestations of culture for the sake of convenient communication.

I mean you're not wrong about any of this, but I think the not so subtle racism in this AI tool is reprehensible.

You're asleep at the wheel.
