This sounds like the setup for a deeply fucked up comedy skit, or a Filthy Frank episode, or some shit like that, but nope, its real, its actually happened, the tech industry has invented a new and interesting form of racism.
I am sensing a new standup comedy routine where a tablet pretending to be AI has a script to say some of the worse takes while claiming to be different people at different points. And the host dissects the responses with observational humor
“What the hell do you call that routine”
“the LEMMYVERSE!”
Digital blackface was one of the first uses for genAI - turning white models or white voices “black” rather than hiring an actual black person
But, they just replaced the voice part of the job? Like, track selection was likely still done by a human somehow? Not sure what this is accomplishing overall.
This is a disingenuous take: The title would be more apt if it just said, “Why hire anyone when you can just use AI?”
Trying to turn it into an example of minority oppression is a big stretch. AI will be used replace all races, sexes, and ethnicities of DJs. Not just minority DJs.
if you don’t understand the concept of “digital blackface” as a specific problem, then you are not bright enough to post here
I’m not saying it’s always programming.dev, but
Programming and supporting fascism - name a more iconic duo
