    Corporate America is looking for cheaper workers, not helping workers produce more.

    Yes, modern capitalists are morons.

      That’s honestly why I have liked how AI has been introduced into the production world. I’ve talked about it in a few comments over the last few weeks, but my god it really is making my job so much easier in some respects. It’s also allowing me to salvage audio that a few years ago I would’ve forced people to reshoot. I’m able to do cleanup work in a few hours that would have taken me at least a week a few years ago as well. It’s truly something to behold

      I’ve converted overprocessed, mediocre audio from zoom with basically no bitrate to note into something that sounds like it was recorded in a studio environment. We’re talking a few minutes of work to completely overhaul one to two hours of spoken word audio. It’s unbelievable.

      You know how there are so many jokes about “enhance“ with video mostly because anybody who’s remotely looked into it knows it’s not really possible? In the audio world, that shit is reality now.

        Don’t tell your boss that unless you want A LOT more tasks for the same pay. Might even lose some coworkers.

        I like “AI”, I just don’t like how it will be used as a cudgel against workers.

              The beauty of what I do is that I’m kind of a blackbox. My output baseline was established by me 3 years ago. They don’t know what I am capable of doing if I kill myself 50hrs a week so they don’t demand it. The benefit is that when I am handed a very difficult task (especially if the timetable is super short) I always deliver, because I am well rested and have a decent work life balance.

              They could probably squeeze 10% more out of me but my dropped balls = zero the way we currently operate.
