In the dubbing industry, well-known actors have expressed their concern about the growing use of Artificial Intelligence to replace human work in character interpretation.
Cristina Hernández, known for being the voice of 'Bombón' in The Powerpuff Girls, emphasized the importance of the dubbing actor's work in giving essence and emotion to characters. She highlighted that Artificial Intelligence is still lacking in the ability to express emotions genuinely.
For his part, Gerardo Reyero, recognized for being the voice of 'Capitanazo' in The House of Drawings and 'Freezer' in Dragon Ball, pointed out that as consumers of audiovisual content, AI dubbing should be rejected and the work of dubbing actors should be supported.
Actress Paty Acevedo, famous for voicing characters like Lisa Simpson in The Simpsons and Angelica Pickles in Rugrats, shared her concerns in a video on social media, stressing that Artificial Intelligence lacks the emotion and feeling that actors bring to their performances.
Despite the lack of an official statement from Amazon, the company has launched a pilot program for AI-assisted dubbing for some of its productions on Prime Video in Latin American Spanish. This has raised concerns in the dubbing community, who feel threatened by the possibility of being replaced by technology.
This situation has awakened concern among the dubbing actors' guild, who see Artificial Intelligence as a threat to their profession and to the quality of performances in the dubbing of movies and series. The discussion about the use of AI in this sector continues, as actors stand firm in defending human work and the essence they bring to each character.
