The tech it self is “fine” it’s just any use of it that is basically always going to be a problem.
You can’t make things proactively illegal because it could be used for illegal shit. Unless it can ONLY be used for illegal shit. And even then it’s iffy.
Else you end up killing progress. It’s stupid, but there’s not a great solution.
I can see how this would be neat in places that dub a lot of their foreign media so lip/mouth movement actually fits the words spoken. It has always been a complete deal breaker for me with dubbed media because it instantly shatters my suspension of disbelief and makes it all feel like the shittiest amateur theater performance.
I’d still prefer subtitles, since verbal is half the acting. And even tone can convey emotion that turning it into simply a visual one leads to missing half the actor’s performance.
At that point it is better to watch dubbed animation.
I prefer subtiles as well. But there are many countries that dub almost everything to their native language, and I think having the mouth actually follow the dubbed audio would definitely improve the experience. The dubbed versions in e.g. Germany have loads of voice acting in it so it fits the emotion and vibe of the scenes, so this would just improve that.
I mean, I agree I don’t watch them either because of the reason mentioned in my original comment. But I can still see the value this offers to all the people that do actually watch them.
I’d personally put more value in pushing people out of their comfort zone towards watching entire performances done by the actors and learning to read subtitles quicker.
Kind of funny that I watched Dark in German, but if it were an english production German people would be watching it dubbed.

How can this even be called progress? Progress of what? If anything, this regresses society at large.
What? We literally do that all the time.

I refuse to watch live action dubs. That is what piracy is for if a country refuses to provide the original source material.
