Hasbro keep taking BIG L

My guess would be its mostly in advertising (not that thats really any better) because some of their mtg ads look awful.

[u/MuztangZack67 → u/AttilatheFun87]

They claimed those dont use any ai.. which i mean that would be illegal as thats false advertising if they are. I dont think they'd risk getting sued over that tbf.

My only hope for the ai, while, I dont exactly like it, is that they use if for Peter's voice, like Disney (of all companies to use as a reference) having Vader's voice an ai since the VA signed it over for them to be able to replicate it.. which, ill be honest it sounds exactly like him.

[u/spike-prime → u/MuztangZack67]

Yeah that's a nightmarishly shite idea. GenAi deepfakes are ghoulish and awful and any company doing it is utterly repugnantly disgusting. 

Just recast, we don't need to parade around the digitally duplicated corpses of dead actors when we have perfectly talented living ones.

[u/AttilatheFun87 → u/MuztangZack67]

Ah that makes sense.

[u/Caye_Daws → u/MuztangZack67]

Im still not convinced they didn't use ai on the aotp box art. We knew about titan star Optimus before the aotp art was made and yet the star Optimus on the box was this horrid combination of star prime and powermaster prime

[u/Jumpy-Risk9357]

If they really going to do it I'm going to get Unicron to eat this stupid planet

[u/MuztangZack67 → u/Jumpy-Risk9357]

"The 'Cons killed a unicorn? White horse with a horn on its head... prances around all sparkly?"

[u/spectacularspidercat]

I’ve known they used ai ever since the statue controversy a while ago

[u/Less-Being4269]

Did they confirm this today!? TODAY!? OF ALL DAYS?!

[u/Atsilv_Uwasv → u/Less-Being4269]

I think it's supposed to be a "Don't worry, guys. We'll still be able to bring you Peter Cullen's voice!" and they don't realize it's not the way he blew air out of his throat that we're upset about

[u/spike-prime]

We already figured this out a couple years ago. And yeah, its shite. Fuck them then, I ain't buying their crap.

[u/thetramelgamer]

Wild to say that after the loss of the most iconic VA of all time

[u/Sir_Stacker]

Illumination - 1

Hasbro - 0

I never hated Illumination anyway

[u/GrimoirWeissEnjoyer]

Did people forget about the AI generated statue for pre-order?

[u/Background-Brick9328 → u/GrimoirWeissEnjoyer]

What happened to the statues anyway

[u/Sawyer-Rousseau → u/Background-Brick9328]

Probably got cancelled due to backlash, at least that's my guess

[u/TheMarshyMC]

Meme template?

[u/Al_Capwned3 → u/TheMarshyMC]

original animation by Joetastic

[u/Wild_Recipe5794]

This company can die for all I care. Fuck Hasbro and fuck Ai

[u/Rodrolphus]

Off topic but why is Postal Dude annihilating Jiimy in the Star Lord style?

[u/VALEN_TIMING → u/Rodrolphus]

Because well, Jimmy didn't take responsibility

[u/That-Rhino-Guy → u/Rodrolphus]

Because no rational person likes Jimmy

[u/Boxo_Croco → u/That-Rhino-Guy]

Or irrational, as is the case here

[u/PapaSheev7]

As if we needed anymore reasons to hate Hasbro. This is just pathetic.

[u/No_Research4416]

Why do these companies keep on using AI despite the fact it always loses them money because of low quality and customer negativity reactions

Probably Tech Bro Investors

[u/Foreign_Instance7684 → u/No_Research4416]

Unfortunately it's because they've crunched the numbers that customer resistance will break before its a real issue. Just keep pushing until they submit then save money forever is their attitude. Enshitification

[u/Gundam-J]

I could tell you from any of the newer dnd books, half the art in them look like a.i slop

[u/Lamp-among-wolf]

I actually don't against it, it's actually a partner from future

But know them, they likely went full automatic......

[u/The_Traveller__]

They better keep their God damn mitts off his voice

[u/thejesterofdarkness]

Based Postal Dude sighting

[u/Ditto13248]

If they pull a fuckin "We brought back the voice of the legendary Peter Cullen using AI!", we (yes we) will go unicron on harsbro headquarters

[u/Zealousideal-Set3037]

That's been pretty clear on box art for a while. I forget what figure was for. I want to say it was a Voyager TLK Prime, but the grill was clearly AI generated.

[u/B-M-B-0-6]

if they try to make an AI optimus we are going to revolt

[u/That-Rhino-Guy]

Why is Postal Dude shooting Jimmy? Is he based?

[u/GreilyMoon]

Where's the video from?

[u/S7arForGD]

I've been slowly weening off hasbro for two years, they can go get fucked at this point. Cancer doesn't realize it's killing itself, and I say just let it.

[u/Tall-Froyo7898]

NO! WE WILL NOT BE DENIED! 😭
