copped the greeter bluey at walmart plus they were stacked with a lot of them so i didnt feel too bad buying it knowing there was still some for actual kids lmao
I was scrolling on tiktok and came across a Bluey post, not unusual as I love Bluey, but this post specifically made my skin crawl. It was AI music using the voice of the young anonymous actress who voices Bluey.
The creators of Bluey have made a huge deal out of making aure that these kids stay anonymous because they understand how the industry can be so incredibly damaging to children. Their names aren't even public knowledge. These kids are not only kept anonymous so that they can live as normal lives as possible, but they are kept anonymous for safety reasons. I'm certain you've heard the horror stories of children being groomed and endangered because they become so popular so young. Ludo Studios is trying to keep these kids safe. Evidence below (source)
Hearing this kid's voice used without her consent, without her parents consent, even without her knowledge and endangering her like this is the most disturbing thing I've seen in a very long time.
The worst thing about this? Everyone in the comments was going on about how cute she sounded "singing the song" and that OP should "make a version with Bingo", who's actress is even younger than Bluey's voice actress. No one saw that there was something wrong with this. I am disgusted and horrifically disturbed.
"AI" isn't "Artificial Intelligence". There is nothing Intelligent about it. It is simply programs and computer mimicry that is marketed as "AI" as a selling point. It isn't truly learning from anything to be considered intelligent. It is taking what you put into it and mimicing that. It is wrong and a violation of someone's life 100% of the time.
If you are considering creating "AI music" or any form of "AI" content, please reconsider. You are causing so much more harm than you realise.
Got to sit down and watch ‘The Sign’ with my mum today and it was excellent! Everything I could have hoped from a Bluey episode and more. Joe Brumm, Ludo Studio and everyone involved did such a phenomenal job 🤩
I have no doubts that they could take Bluey to the big screen next!
P. S. Frisky has to be one of my favourite characters for sure 🥰
I NEVER EVER THOUGHT A KIDS SHOW ABOUT TALKING DOGS WOULD IMPACT ME SO MUCH. LIKE HUH?? THIS SHOW IS AMAZING IN SO MANY WAYS, THE EMOTION, THE TOPICS, THE ANIMATION, THE ATTENTION TO DETAILS, THE MUSIC??
