Stop fearmongering for views, most of the info is already available online. The layoffs are due to the restructuring of the globalization team in SEA, that did a terrible job with many mistranslations especially with the Xilonen talents.

I usually expect the sus leaks to have a disclaimer on this channel, so this video is a bit disappointing because it states these things without the disclaimer, and the reaction in the comments confirms that nobody is taking this as speculation, but as fact. This video is somewhat misleading: 1. The recent layoffs I assume you are referencing was of that post on r/gachagaming which details that the layoffs happened in the HR and marketing departments, which does not necessarily mean the game's artists, scriptwriters or voice actors are being fired. 2. HYV adapting AI is at best a rumor for now, considering we are still amid the Formosa strike, it seems hoyo is not interested in working with Formosa after they went against AI. If hoyo wants to use AI themselves, why would they cut ties with a studio over AI? 3. The rumor (not really addressed by this video) regarding shift towards AI is not going towards AI for image, text or video generation, but instead towards other personalized technologies and virtual character interactions. Nothing yet indicates their intent to replace artists, actors or writers with AI. 4. While the layoffs can be disappointing, it doesn't seem to be the case that hoyo is divesting in human employees, just that they are shifting around some employees and cutting where it may be unnecessary. Of course it may turn out that hoyo wants to replace everyone with AI but I think even they know it will turn out terribly and make their playerbase very angry.
One of the few informed here voicing the issue that is those morons taking bait videos with no facts as truth. I dislike those the moment the title says one thing and the first words are "maybe", "speculation", "nobody knows". Yeah, nobody knows because they are not replacing HR and marketing with AI. And two: Should any employees been fired with any issues they would hit media asap. Those did not
How tf do a lot of people in the comments section instantly believes something without sources being cited? No wonder the game keeps getting drama left and right, even if most of it are just misinfo and fabricated.
The AI thing isn't even confirmed as far as I know, so this is just pure fear-mongering. The people being laid off are mostly EN translators because they mistranslated a lot of stuff
I read that they fired some translators due to the amount of mistakes and misinformation like how it says xilonen might die when forging the ancient name and such
Nobody important, two recruiters and a writer/translator (I guess). The EN translation is not the best and has a lot of mistakes like Heavenly Principles being mistranslated into five different names. "Heavenly Principles" (Opening Cutscene) “Heaven” (Liyue Archon Quest; The Fond Farewell), “Destiny” (Lumine/Aether Quest; A Soul Set Apart), “Natural Order”, (Azhdaha Quest; Amidst Chaos, the Rock Is Unmoved) "The Divine", (Travail Trailer; About the Hydro Archon) They also mistranslated some things at the end of Natlan AQ, which caused a lot of people to be confused and not understand the scene with Capitano. Honestly, its most likely deserved layoffs of the globalization team members who were doing a terrible job. They were probably mismanaged, which is why Hoyo is restructuring.
@iNetth Also with Shilonen, when in Translated version it was told that her life will be shortened because of creating an Ancient Name for Traveller, when there was nothing like this in original and it was told that she will become weaker until the Night Kingdom will be repaired... Also skills had wrong translations, etc...
It's the way all of this is only speculation based on extremely vague information and yet the lot of you are already treating it like it's fact is hilarious. To already accuse hoyo of using generative AI for their voices, storywriting, designs, and gameplay when they've done nothing but respect their EN VAs' strike against AI this entire time is crazy. Besides, with no actual evidence for anything, what's the point of starting controversy?
"It's the way all of this is only speculation based on extremely vague information and yet the lot of you are already treating it like it's fact" - Welcome to Internet my friend....
@@bvnil because leaks from reliable source while she could have got this from the place of twitter people, I hate those who spread misinformation, we just have to wait for further announcements made by Hoyo
@@KylerConoverse i mean that's understandable but no need to hate and if you think this channel is " spreading misinformations " you're free to unsubscribe and just let it go.. Many leakers have been spreading misinformations and of course, you shouldn't always trust the honesty in it. But that doesn't mean it's 100% false information. So in my opinion, You get to choose what info you will believe and what to not. Only immature kids will believe everything without a single thought but at the end if you're a mature person you should understand to keep an info in mind yet choose not to jump to it immediately. However, i think this channel is only producing infos to keep people updated if they don't have twitter or not and they have already said that nothing is yet confirmed or announced from hoyo.
I started this game because of the lore and one of Zhongli's voice lines. If the A.I. trend really takes over, I'll get the rest of the story from AO3 fanfics 😭😂 But really, I've invested real money in the game. Through Welkins, etc. I would not regret dropping it, if A.I. takes over. I'm really not about interacting with it anymore. Not if it's being implemented so catastrophically. My heart goes out to those who lost their jobs. ❤
Bro use ur brain cells it's RUMOR nd the golden rule dnt trust rumor here exemple in 4.3 rumor said arlee will die in 4.7 didn't happen nd the begining of natlan they said capitano will be playabal in natlan well he is not so dnt trust rumor If it's true hoyo will talk abt it
Nah these employees only got released in the USA department in short they probably aren't telling the full story of why they got released, Also no Mihoyo is never going to use AI in creative processes, only in management and other stuff like translations and stuff 😂

I find it unbelievably sad and disgusting, HoYoverse is a multi million company and doesn't have any issues supporting their artists and developers yet they're so money hungry to fire people 😞😞 I'm genuinely disappointed
@SimplyMatthew my apologies for sounding rude is just that the video said hoyo didn't make a official confirmation about the layoff so I'm the whole ai SPECULATIONS as rumor again sorry for sounding mean I just wanted to calm things down a bit cuz being too angry/passionate could lead to a lot bad thing such as misinformation bullying doxxing one side of opinions/accusations/speculations and more
I don't think AI could create better stories than human, coz one big thing they lack is feeling/emotions, a human can always be better than AI at this thing
AI can create, but it can also improve the already existing work of a human. If you ask AI to create something new from nothing, it may come out as very standard and predictable. But if you use your own creativity and ask AI to improve your work, the result will definitely be better (and faster) than what most humans can do. Just try it by yourself, right a small text, dialogue, story or scenario by yourself, and ask an AI to improve it. You'll realize in a few seconds how AI is so much better than you are and how it can create beauty out of your raw and unrefined creativity. And the better the instructions you give it, the better the result will be. Most of the time, the quality of AI's work is tied to the human giving it the instructions. It's nothing more than a tool, and like a calculator, this tool is better than us for many things.
@@LadyHermes yes AI is just a tool for helping humans like other man-made things to make things easier but I'm saying is it can't actually replace us, we if we compare fully AI made story with a made by professional then the man would win

Genshin Leakers: They will release another Winter Night Lasso trailer part-2 this coming January-15 Also hoyo: *uploads a Genshin OST instead at January-15 🤣
It's not about that, it's because there was a lot of mistranslated text. For example, in the english dub the translation said that Xilonen should die to create the traveler's ancient name, when it fact it was just reducing her life time. And examples liek these are many more, I don't think it has nothing to do with ai.
Maybe they should test it first on an alternative event story, without publicity or announcing it's AI generated. Then through a survey they can gather data about the players opinions and preferences of the event; to see if AI generated content is reliable. But as for the replaced VAs and employers, that is truly unfair for them. I hope that Hoyo verse reconsider not firing someone from his/her passion as a game developer or voice actor.
About the idea of the event I think it would be a fun thing to see and to try the Ai capabilities of it. And about the firing people, you dont need to worry, Voice actors are not being fired, and the other employees are not being fired because of Ai. The voice actors had a problem with a company named Formosa that didn't agree to their terms because the company wanted to use their voice as Ai training, other companies agreed to the terms of the voice actors, but Formosa didn't. And hoyoverse is helping the voice actors to move them to other companies that agree with their terms. They're not getting fired, hoyo is helping them, just taking it's time. That's why most of the voices in english are getting back with some expections. And about the employees getting fired, they weren't fired for Ai, it was mostly employees that were doing a bad job, most of them being from translation and similar things, because they translated poorly some things (just were doing their jobs poorly) so it had nothing to do with Ai. I hoped this comment helped you understand everything a little better!
Well, maybe try to understand that Ai is not the problem here? I'm just trying to make you understand that Ai is a tool, not try to offend or anything. If used on making programing, translating or other simpler things then it is a great tool to actually help get the job done better, making the people who work with it have an easier and more efficient work. In some areas they'd just have to supervise it, and fix where it makes a mistake. The problems we've seen lately about Ai is that people try to use them for things they shouldn't. For example the problem with the english VA's strike, it's because a company named Formosa didn't want to sing a contract of not trying to use Ai to copy voices, and now hoyo is cutting ties with the company and moving them to another. Ai is just a tool, the problem is who is using that tool. It's frustrating to see people go against and hating on a tool instead of understanding it's the humans behind it who are to blame for using it badly.
@klaudijacarrascopinkute3302 exactly! I really can’t stand how people hear the words Ai = artificial intelligence and then sh*t their pants about it. Do they not realize that Ai usually has a human behind the wheel? It all depends on how it’s used and what it’s used for. I can’t stand the people who try to halt the progress of technology with their fears. Literally annoying!
@@Not_obligated2care that's the point that I hope people would understand that, it's not the tool's fault for being used wrong by a human, but now because people try using it for what it shouldn't be used (at least not now fur sure, maybe in a far future) now people hate Ai to the point you can't even reason with them, you try to make them understand and they just hear the word "Ai" and are Inmediatly like: "I'm not gonna talk to you or try to hear your reasonings, and you dont have empathy!" Like... I just dont get it, they're just acting on animalistic instincts of fearing the unknown, Ai is a great tool if used correctly, like programming got so much better and easier over the years, so can Ai help in a lot of works to make them easier and more efficient. But now because of people using them wrongly, rumors, victimizing and unnecessary drama people are going against a TOOL. like C'mon! I hope they start to understand everything better soon cause it's just irritating at this point...
If AI is somehow capable of writing on par or better than people the I don't mind, there is in the end at least one person to curate what goes out and the playerbase will react accordingly with the quality of the game. I'm referring to the playerbase in China which votes with their wallet and the ones Mihoyo actualy listen to. They never have and never will listen to the global community simply because they are all talk and never actually do anything.
Automatization of elevators made many people to lose their jobs Automatization of industry also made many people to lose their jobs Automatization of Agriculture made many people to lose their jobs Also most of fired people were in localization teams that made a lot of mistranslations over last years and created a lot of confusions, even more, some of important things were not even translated or translated the most opposite way from the original context....
They didn't specifically mention what role they have replaced. If it's niche things like discord moderation and HR management position then we're good. If it's music composing, art directing/character designs, voice acting, story writing? It's over.
i doubt it is core tings like Voice acting and character design etc. they're not stupid to turn their backs on all the player base. right now if all players across the globe have something in common, it's a strong opinion against AI
As a developer myself, I don't understand why everyone is so on the fence about AI it is inevitable and even more its better at writing stories than 95% of writers out there so I'd argue quality would increase if the industry concentrates on these top 5% to better out the quality problems of AI content than having some mediocre nothingburgers on legs do it from the start
I've been waiting for those flying cars ever since they promised we'd have them in 2012... XD. But instead of flying cars we just got a lot of misinformation, unnecessary drama and so on... Goodbye flying cars...
imagine playing a new region sneznaya for exemple, diving into an exciting story filled with twists and emotional moments, only to later find out that most of it was generated by ai, would it still feel the same? yes, it would. would you still be as invested in the characters, knowing that their dialogues, interactions and even quests weren't written by human developers, but created by an algorithm? again, yes, i would. this situation would be like my dad's stupidity. he like spagueti sauce, but always say he don't like it with porc. still, make with with porc without telling him and he'll say he liked it, thinking it's beef meat. he doesn't see the difference. not only that, but he it's later revealed to him it actuay was porc, instead of beef, even after saying it was delicious moments ago, he'll now say it was disgusting. he have nothing against porc meat. he often eat porc chops. it's all in his head. meanwhile, i taught i ate chicken, only to discover it was frog legs. the discovery didn't make me like the meat less. i liked it then. why wouldn't i like it anymore? would be stupid. it's the same here. i don't care if genshin's story is made by people or ai. as long as the quality is there, i see no problem.
@516callersurge4 yeah, people love rumors and we genshin players are used to having a rumor about hoyo every monday, it is basically our breakfast at this point. Oh and never, ever in the history of forever trust twitter's random bs
@@its.galactici f-ing hate the echo chamber that is twitter😭 That loud minority tends to tarnish not just the game, but also the company. Like, we know hoyo sometimes make bad decisions that affects players, but that cesspool of a group like to exaggerate things.
@@its.galactic Actual players of Genshin do not give a fk tbh, most of that drama crap more often comes from people who hate Genshin, played it before and it was not their cup of tea, some never even played and many other reasons, but Genshin players mostly do not give a fk about those X and Reddit dramas...
his situation is really sad i think if I learn that the story was made by AI I am probably going to quit the game because we need développer to take feed back and implémenting it in the game + player need to now that the story was made by a real person with a soul a real heart ;-;
It's so disturbing seeing such a big company shifting towards AI. A robot would never replace a human's creativity and passion. I hope they rethink it and bring back the writers and artists for the new regions instead of feeding AI to their fans.
For me I literally don't care If AI delivers good shts then why not I only care about the game doesn't matter if it is AI or people making things if it is good I ain't complaining anything At the end of the day what matters is the quality of game not who makes it🥴
@@xa-27-animesh3 AI will never replace a human's creativity bc a robot always learns and never creates. For example a human can create a new idea that is unique and beautiful with flaws, but a robot just copies everything it sees. A robot cannot write a story on its own with a unique plot and always recommends the same thing over and over in the most soulless way bc it doesn't have a mind on its own
Well, i hope Hoyo will also find AI customers with money instead of humans. Because the slop they produce is barely digestible even now, imagine it getting more "AI-generated" than it already is.
Sag-aftra strike: striking against the use of AI in voice acting Hoyo: let’s use AI for content creation Are they asking for something? Also why would they need to cut costs? They already make bank off of these games.
I think ai is a good thing and even if I find out that games that I enjoy for the emotional story etc are made my ai I would still feel the same, but I’m just so sad for all the people who lost their jobs because of this, I really hope that they’ll find a new place to work and be passionate about what they do..
This seems to be a serious thing but sense it's not confirm meaning hoyo didn't make a official confirmation about the layoff I like to take a more neutral stance on the topic
You're a smart person. Not jumping into conclusions until there's proof. I mean it, it's good to see people like you instead of the ones who Inmediatly believe it and get feisty over it... also their quite hard to reason with... Overall, thank you for using your brain❤
Alright this is just my opinion for Genshin but hear me out. Now I've played around with some AI tools and my dad has as well. It is fun when its not for commercial purposes but for yourself. Character AI, fun for ideas on stories and creating roleplays. Suno for music making "For Fun". Art AI can be good sometimes to inspire like clothing designs or just art ideas and trying a new twist but again only "For self use not commercial". But I have studied Genshin's game for a long time now, I have seen they have 0 need for AI. They managed to have FORETELLING before the next huge update releases connecting the dots with the next story we learn about. They studied EXTREMELY deep into the culture of each region that it is very accurate. Storytelling, beautiful as always. The art, gorgeous as ever! If you scroll at the character Archive and see the first to the last, you can see how much they improved by themselves. AI may improve but it won't change the fact that this ruins someone's beautiful dream of making their design into a reality. Using AI for commercial uses ruins people's dreams. Ruins chances for people to share their ideas and make it their style and be proud of their work. Genshin also has the most creative fun ways for the game mechanics all on their own! Of course, I don't really do much fighting but you get my point. Voice actors. Now Character AI as I mentioned has voices too, but I've noticed with each one, they don't have a lot of emotion. And you end up not connecting to them as well. People as voice actors need to be left alone, no AI interference. They are taking the time to think creatively and immense us in a world that is so beautiful for the game, understanding the characters and making it enjoyable. Now I believe there is a lot more to address but this is a basic summary. I think AI is fun to use only just for yourself, not for commercial use. AI will improve but people's talents can always surpass an AI because we as humans are always full of surprises. Thank you for reading this long comment and taking the time to as well. I hope this information from my perspective is informative. Have a wonderful day! :) Edit: I also forgot to address that Hoyoverse doesn't need to fire so many employees when we have so many fan creators out there that are willing to help! Hoyofair for example is the hugest one we have! And all these fun videos we watch constantly are also talented people. If Hoyoverse needs help, just ask the fans! And the fans content creators of animations and other areas!
You dont need to worry, atleast for this matter it was misinformation from the video, there's no real proof of hoyo trying to use Ai for creative things such as art or storytelling or voice acting. For what I've seen on other comments (quite a lot with lots of sense and that they did their research) most people were fired from translation and similar departments, and it's because in the english version they did quite a bad job and had misspelled names, translated bad some frases and similar. And for now there's nothing about hoyo using Ai or it having anything to do with this. And about the voice actors, I dont know if you were talking generally or about the hoyo thing, so just in case I'll tell you what happened. The thing is, most of english VA worked in a company named Formosa, and that company was hired by hoyo to do voices for their characters. And so, the company was the one to not agree with the terms of the VA of not using their voices to train Ai, and now hoyo is moving those VA to other companies that agree to the VA terms and for what I've heard hoyo is cutting ties with Formosa for this reason. So judging on that and that there is no proof for hoyo starting using Ai or wanting to, there's no need to worry. I think Ai is quite the useful tool if used where it should be, such as programing, translating and other more "mathematical" things with the later supervision of a human to check on the work. And not to be used on creative thing like art. I think Ai could be a good tool to make jobs easier and more efficient. While the creative jobs are taken care by humans
Tbh im super against AI. Ai should be used to help gathering info, maybe giving some ideas there and here, photoshop or smth like that. But taking human jobs? I cant rlly imagine how we, as humans, will survive by doing nothing at all. How will we get money? Are we just going to completely ditch any currency?
I agree but think somewhat differently as ai is good for info storage and scientific advancement like meds but when ai starts replacing humans in jobs that are not risky that's where the problem comes in.
Spreading misinformations... No, the scenarists were not the ones who have been fired but the translators. They did a terrible job recently especially with Xilonen case
This guy keeps making videos about unconfirmed rumors only to stir up hate and toxicity within the community, he's basically the tectone of genshin leaks I think I'll unsub and stick with Teyvat Times, that guy is only talking about future content and doesn't seek to stir up the drama and slander the game
As a cs major can't even happly watch genshi leaks .Every where the fear of loosing my job to an AI first on yt then on insta now on contents of the game I play .funniest thing is that my Sub domain is AI and Ml
I hate how people can think AI is better. Just imagine like all these artists that put dedication, thoughts, feelings and hours into what ever they’re working. AI will never be same as real art.
If this is indeed true its odd cause they've been trying to get rid of the formosa issue with the va's for so long, but i guess we will see if it gets trully 100% confirmed
But USA told nvidia to not sell any kind of tech to china at level of hardware and software, this is why pc version has FSR only and no DLSS. FSR is not big of deal as a tech.
Everyone wants AI not realizing there’s positive and negative effects. In this situation they’ll be no VA’s soon. AI/robots really might be our downfall in generations to come…
I believe those jobs that involve technical design are the ones they're pertaining. Those tasks can be substituted by an AI. But others like mechanics, World, level and system design all heavily need human involvement. I hope those employees find new jobs eventually. But they must also realize they should somehow add more skills like narrative writing and directing where AI can't replace
this is a sign guys. a bad sign, and this will snowball harder and escalate so quick. AI is the trend and the future of digital industry, but that is not okay to the human aspect, the aspect of life. this might be the final decision if we still try to love genshin, or we could just move on with our life. o7 snezhnaya, the country of AI
This whole video is just misinformation Hoyo fired them because they did badly with translations One example was with Xilonen Now they're transitioning to Ai for better and more accurate translation
Maybe they'll use it on things like the training guide so it could check our account details like character levels and it'd be more useful then it is now
YES! I would really be invested in the characters generated or made by AIs if the humans before the change didn´t fullfil the expectations from the playerbase or if they change into a direction that is already boring, AI would be a good option for that.
You are also using AI in your RUclips videos, so you know how efficient AI can be, it doesn't mean that if the company is using AI all of the future content will be AI-generated As a programming student, I am a testament that AI is a huge help in programming, it will cut so much time wasted in debugging.
So we're just going to blame tools now... Perfect... The more time I pass on internet the less I believe in humanity... Instead of hating on a tool for being used poorly by HUMANS, why don't we look at the fact there are lots of humans being horrible at their jobs? If you're a good employee why would someone fire you? (Btw just in case you didn't know, I wanted to clarify that from what I've seen in other comments with much more sense in them, and clarifying this rumors, is that the people lossing jobs were people from translations and similar, because they did a very bad job and caused a lot of confusion on players or even misspelled named of a character) So no, Ai is not and will never be the problem, the problem is people trying to use it poorly. And no one here lost their jobs because of "Ai taking over them"
Hoyoverse didn't fire multiple people and the only source is one guy. If hoyoverse did remove a large number of employees it mess with game development since I highly doubt hoyo has any AI program fully functional. I might be he was a leaker got found out and fired now trying to slander hoyoverse.
Hoyo is a million dollar company they don't even need it. That's so fucked up. Tho I bet when Hoyo starts using AI, a lot of the community will end up complaining like hell and then they'll probably reduce the AI content. Yk, like the 2 star review incident on the anniversary
@@Protract_Loop If enough people complain probably. I mean it all depends on the extent of the AI use and the quality of the results. If they completely rely on it without actually overworking designs/dialogue whatever and it turns out shit, there'll be a RIOT in the community
Calm down, the video is a lot of baseless rumors and missinformation. The people getting fired were mostly translators for doing quite the terrible job. Ai is not going to replace artists or storytelling, not anytime soon atleast. And even if the Ai takes over most of translations at the end, they'll still have a human check it to make sure it's all good. Just making the job easier for employees and getting the people who dont know how to do their jobs out.
Please dont jump into conclusions so easily when there's absolutely no proof at all. As explain in other replies from people who actually did some research, Ai had nothing to do with this. People got fired because they were translating poorly and doing badly their jobs several times. Barely anyone from artist or storytelling were fired and definetly not because of Ai. Please take more causion into what you believe from the internet or not. Check for proof first. And also, hoyo is actually helping the VA to change companies where they wouldn't use Ai to try and copy their voices, so I'd say VA would actually be quite grateful to hoyo.
Is this just about the AI powered NPCs you can talk to? It doesn't seem like a bad idea IF it's well filtered and set up. Although I don't get why they'd lay off that many employees for that.

One of the few informed here voicing the issue that is those morons taking bait videos with no facts as truth. I dislike those the moment the title says one thing and the first words are "maybe", "speculation", "nobody knows". Yeah, nobody knows because they are not replacing HR and marketing with AI. And two: Should any employees been fired with any issues they would hit media asap. Those did not
How tf do a lot of people in the comments section instantly believes something without sources being cited?
No wonder the game keeps getting drama left and right, even if most of it are just misinfo and fabricated.
True many people share wrong information
These mfs can't understand
Mostly it's the twitter peeps that exaggerate things and blow things out of proportion which makes this community embroiled in issues every month
What do you expect when engagement = money
People nowadays love two things, especially on X, Facebook, Reddit and RUclips -
1 - Drama
2 - Misinformation
yea those people are really the problem :
I think it should be specified which positions are to be replaced by ai, otherwise it's just creating fake buzz and stess and missinformation
real talk I don't care if its the recepetionist, I'm out if they really messing with genai bs
A lot of drama involving hoyoverse is misinfo being pushed out or taken out of context by a lot of CCs if you'd notice.
The AI thing isn't even confirmed as far as I know, so this is just pure fear-mongering. The people being laid off are mostly EN translators because they mistranslated a lot of stuff
I read that they fired some translators due to the amount of mistakes and misinformation like how it says xilonen might die when forging the ancient name and such
Can we know what job positions are affected? Can you leave a link or reliable post about the situation?
Nobody important, two recruiters and a writer/translator (I guess). The EN translation is not the best and has a lot of mistakes like Heavenly Principles being mistranslated into five different names.
"Heavenly Principles" (Opening Cutscene)
“Heaven” (Liyue Archon Quest; The Fond Farewell),
“Destiny” (Lumine/Aether Quest; A Soul Set Apart),
“Natural Order”, (Azhdaha Quest; Amidst Chaos, the Rock Is Unmoved)
"The Divine", (Travail Trailer; About the Hydro Archon)
They also mistranslated some things at the end of Natlan AQ, which caused a lot of people to be confused and not understand the scene with Capitano. Honestly, its most likely deserved layoffs of the globalization team members who were doing a terrible job. They were probably mismanaged, which is why Hoyo is restructuring.
Localization teams
@iNetth Also with Shilonen, when in Translated version it was told that her life will be shortened because of creating an Ancient Name for Traveller, when there was nothing like this in original and it was told that she will become weaker until the Night Kingdom will be repaired...
Also skills had wrong translations, etc...
Love the omission of all context and misinformation, keep up the great work :)
It's the way all of this is only speculation based on extremely vague information and yet the lot of you are already treating it like it's fact is hilarious. To already accuse hoyo of using generative AI for their voices, storywriting, designs, and gameplay when they've done nothing but respect their EN VAs' strike against AI this entire time is crazy. Besides, with no actual evidence for anything, what's the point of starting controversy?
"It's the way all of this is only speculation based on extremely vague information and yet the lot of you are already treating it like it's fact" - Welcome to Internet my friend....

@@KylerConoverse i mean that's understandable but no need to hate and if you think this channel is " spreading misinformations " you're free to unsubscribe and just let it go.. Many leakers have been spreading misinformations and of course, you shouldn't always trust the honesty in it. But that doesn't mean it's 100% false information. So in my opinion, You get to choose what info you will believe and what to not. Only immature kids will believe everything without a single thought but at the end if you're a mature person you should understand to keep an info in mind yet choose not to jump to it immediately. However, i think this channel is only producing infos to keep people updated if they don't have twitter or not and they have already said that nothing is yet confirmed or announced from hoyo.
I started this game because of the lore and one of Zhongli's voice lines.
If the A.I. trend really takes over, I'll get the rest of the story from AO3 fanfics 😭😂
But really, I've invested real money in the game. Through Welkins, etc. I would not regret dropping it, if A.I. takes over.
I'm really not about interacting with it anymore. Not if it's being implemented so catastrophically.
My heart goes out to those who lost their jobs. ❤

Working for a Chinese company? Hell naw, there’s been toxic work culture all over Asian regions
I don't think AI could create better stories than human, coz one big thing they lack is feeling/emotions, a human can always be better than AI at this thing
AI can create, but it can also improve the already existing work of a human. If you ask AI to create something new from nothing, it may come out as very standard and predictable. But if you use your own creativity and ask AI to improve your work, the result will definitely be better (and faster) than what most humans can do.
Just try it by yourself, right a small text, dialogue, story or scenario by yourself, and ask an AI to improve it. You'll realize in a few seconds how AI is so much better than you are and how it can create beauty out of your raw and unrefined creativity. And the better the instructions you give it, the better the result will be. Most of the time, the quality of AI's work is tied to the human giving it the instructions. It's nothing more than a tool, and like a calculator, this tool is better than us for many things.

I thought the employees getting fired was about translation and localisation
I believe it is, the ai part is a completely a lie/rumor
@@GoodBanana001i rly hope so
Dude snezhnya is litrtally so hyped
The ice is gonna be water.
It's not about that, it's because there was a lot of mistranslated text. For example, in the english dub the translation said that Xilonen should die to create the traveler's ancient name, when it fact it was just reducing her life time. And examples liek these are many more, I don't think it has nothing to do with ai.
Ai genararion and nvidia dlss ai technology have nothing to do with each other
Maybe they should test it first on an alternative event story, without publicity or announcing it's AI generated. Then through a survey they can gather data about the players opinions and preferences of the event; to see if AI generated content is reliable. But as for the replaced VAs and employers, that is truly unfair for them. I hope that Hoyo verse reconsider not firing someone from his/her passion as a game developer or voice actor.
About the idea of the event I think it would be a fun thing to see and to try the Ai capabilities of it.
And about the firing people, you dont need to worry, Voice actors are not being fired, and the other employees are not being fired because of Ai.
The voice actors had a problem with a company named Formosa that didn't agree to their terms because the company wanted to use their voice as Ai training, other companies agreed to the terms of the voice actors, but Formosa didn't. And hoyoverse is helping the voice actors to move them to other companies that agree with their terms. They're not getting fired, hoyo is helping them, just taking it's time. That's why most of the voices in english are getting back with some expections.
And about the employees getting fired, they weren't fired for Ai, it was mostly employees that were doing a bad job, most of them being from translation and similar things, because they translated poorly some things (just were doing their jobs poorly) so it had nothing to do with Ai.
I hoped this comment helped you understand everything a little better!
I'm getting ready to leave genshin if ai takes over the story. You have no idea how much this pisses me off.
I used to love ai but now i hate ai SO MUCH
Emotions are misleading, try reason next time.
Well, maybe try to understand that Ai is not the problem here? I'm just trying to make you understand that Ai is a tool, not try to offend or anything. If used on making programing, translating or other simpler things then it is a great tool to actually help get the job done better, making the people who work with it have an easier and more efficient work. In some areas they'd just have to supervise it, and fix where it makes a mistake. The problems we've seen lately about Ai is that people try to use them for things they shouldn't. For example the problem with the english VA's strike, it's because a company named Formosa didn't want to sing a contract of not trying to use Ai to copy voices, and now hoyo is cutting ties with the company and moving them to another. Ai is just a tool, the problem is who is using that tool. It's frustrating to see people go against and hating on a tool instead of understanding it's the humans behind it who are to blame for using it badly.
@klaudijacarrascopinkute3302 exactly! I really can’t stand how people hear the words Ai = artificial intelligence and then sh*t their pants about it. Do they not realize that Ai usually has a human behind the wheel? It all depends on how it’s used and what it’s used for. I can’t stand the people who try to halt the progress of technology with their fears. Literally annoying!
@@Not_obligated2care that's the point that I hope people would understand that, it's not the tool's fault for being used wrong by a human, but now because people try using it for what it shouldn't be used (at least not now fur sure, maybe in a far future) now people hate Ai to the point you can't even reason with them, you try to make them understand and they just hear the word "Ai" and are Inmediatly like: "I'm not gonna talk to you or try to hear your reasonings, and you dont have empathy!" Like... I just dont get it, they're just acting on animalistic instincts of fearing the unknown, Ai is a great tool if used correctly, like programming got so much better and easier over the years, so can Ai help in a lot of works to make them easier and more efficient. But now because of people using them wrongly, rumors, victimizing and unnecessary drama people are going against a TOOL. like C'mon! I hope they start to understand everything better soon cause it's just irritating at this point...
If AI is somehow capable of writing on par or better than people the I don't mind, there is in the end at least one person to curate what goes out and the playerbase will react accordingly with the quality of the game.
I'm referring to the playerbase in China which votes with their wallet and the ones Mihoyo actualy listen to.
They never have and never will listen to the global community simply because they are all talk and never actually do anything.
Automatization of elevators made many people to lose their jobs
Automatization of industry also made many people to lose their jobs
Automatization of Agriculture made many people to lose their jobs
Also most of fired people were in localization teams that made a lot of mistranslations over last years and created a lot of confusions, even more, some of important things were not even translated or translated the most opposite way from the original context....
They didn't specifically mention what role they have replaced. If it's niche things like discord moderation and HR management position then we're good. If it's music composing, art directing/character designs, voice acting, story writing? It's over.
uppp
I will never regret uninstalling genshin if thats the case
i doubt it is core tings like Voice acting and character design etc. they're not stupid to turn their backs on all the player base. right now if all players across the globe have something in common, it's a strong opinion against AI
Finally we will actual get archons instead of a motorcycle rider and a floating revolver
As a developer myself, I don't understand why everyone is so on the fence about AI it is inevitable and even more its better at writing stories than 95% of writers out there so I'd argue quality would increase if the industry concentrates on these top 5% to better out the quality problems of AI content than having some mediocre nothingburgers on legs do it from the start

imagine playing a new region sneznaya for exemple, diving into an exciting story filled with twists and emotional moments, only to later find out that most of it was generated by ai, would it still feel the same?
yes, it would.
would you still be as invested in the characters, knowing that their dialogues, interactions and even quests weren't written by human developers, but created by an algorithm?
again, yes, i would.
this situation would be like my dad's stupidity. he like spagueti sauce, but always say he don't like it with porc. still, make with with porc without telling him and he'll say he liked it, thinking it's beef meat. he doesn't see the difference. not only that, but he it's later revealed to him it actuay was porc, instead of beef, even after saying it was delicious moments ago, he'll now say it was disgusting. he have nothing against porc meat. he often eat porc chops. it's all in his head. meanwhile, i taught i ate chicken, only to discover it was frog legs. the discovery didn't make me like the meat less. i liked it then. why wouldn't i like it anymore? would be stupid.
it's the same here. i don't care if genshin's story is made by people or ai. as long as the quality is there, i see no problem.
I think its for En Translation team because ive heard lines were translated badly , like Xilonen line after making The Travellers ancient name.
Correct me if I’m wrong but i think the ai part is unrelated to the firing maybe delete since speculation with no solid proof is pretty ?

I am probably going to quit the game because we need développer to take feed back and implémenting it in the game

It's so disturbing seeing such a big company shifting towards AI. A robot would never replace a human's creativity and passion. I hope they rethink it and bring back the writers and artists for the new regions instead of feeding AI to their fans.

Overall, thank you for using your brain❤
@klaudijacarrascopinkute3302 omg salamat po I'm honestly shock as well since I'm under 18
Alright this is just my opinion for Genshin but hear me out.
Now I've played around with some AI tools and my dad has as well. It is fun when its not for commercial purposes but for yourself. Character AI, fun for ideas on stories and creating roleplays. Suno for music making "For Fun". Art AI can be good sometimes to inspire like clothing designs or just art ideas and trying a new twist but again only "For self use not commercial".
But I have studied Genshin's game for a long time now, I have seen they have 0 need for AI. They managed to have FORETELLING before the next huge update releases connecting the dots with the next story we learn about. They studied EXTREMELY deep into the culture of each region that it is very accurate. Storytelling, beautiful as always. The art, gorgeous as ever! If you scroll at the character Archive and see the first to the last, you can see how much they improved by themselves. AI may improve but it won't change the fact that this ruins someone's beautiful dream of making their design into a reality. Using AI for commercial uses ruins people's dreams. Ruins chances for people to share their ideas and make it their style and be proud of their work. Genshin also has the most creative fun ways for the game mechanics all on their own! Of course, I don't really do much fighting but you get my point.
Voice actors. Now Character AI as I mentioned has voices too, but I've noticed with each one, they don't have a lot of emotion. And you end up not connecting to them as well. People as voice actors need to be left alone, no AI interference. They are taking the time to think creatively and immense us in a world that is so beautiful for the game, understanding the characters and making it enjoyable.
Now I believe there is a lot more to address but this is a basic summary. I think AI is fun to use only just for yourself, not for commercial use. AI will improve but people's talents can always surpass an AI because we as humans are always full of surprises.
Thank you for reading this long comment and taking the time to as well. I hope this information from my perspective is informative. Have a wonderful day! :)
Edit: I also forgot to address that Hoyoverse doesn't need to fire so many employees when we have so many fan creators out there that are willing to help! Hoyofair for example is the hugest one we have! And all these fun videos we watch constantly are also talented people. If Hoyoverse needs help, just ask the fans! And the fans content creators of animations and other areas!
You dont need to worry, atleast for this matter it was misinformation from the video, there's no real proof of hoyo trying to use Ai for creative things such as art or storytelling or voice acting.
For what I've seen on other comments (quite a lot with lots of sense and that they did their research) most people were fired from translation and similar departments, and it's because in the english version they did quite a bad job and had misspelled names, translated bad some frases and similar. And for now there's nothing about hoyo using Ai or it having anything to do with this.
And about the voice actors, I dont know if you were talking generally or about the hoyo thing, so just in case I'll tell you what happened. The thing is, most of english VA worked in a company named Formosa, and that company was hired by hoyo to do voices for their characters. And so, the company was the one to not agree with the terms of the VA of not using their voices to train Ai, and now hoyo is moving those VA to other companies that agree to the VA terms and for what I've heard hoyo is cutting ties with Formosa for this reason. So judging on that and that there is no proof for hoyo starting using Ai or wanting to, there's no need to worry.
I think Ai is quite the useful tool if used where it should be, such as programing, translating and other more "mathematical" things with the later supervision of a human to check on the work. And not to be used on creative thing like art. I think Ai could be a good tool to make jobs easier and more efficient. While the creative jobs are taken care by humans
@klaudijacarrascopinkute3302 Thank you for that information. I really appreciate that.
Source: trust me bro
Tbh im super against AI. Ai should be used to help gathering info, maybe giving some ideas there and here, photoshop or smth like that. But taking human jobs? I cant rlly imagine how we, as humans, will survive by doing nothing at all. How will we get money? Are we just going to completely ditch any currency?
I agree but think somewhat differently as ai is good for info storage and scientific advancement like meds but when ai starts replacing humans in jobs that are not risky that's where the problem comes in.
Spreading misinformations... No, the scenarists were not the ones who have been fired but the translators. They did a terrible job recently especially with Xilonen case
I heard the layoff are just for translators, but who knows if that's true and regardless it makes my blood boil.
With the amount of filler in the dialogue already, I'm suprised it wasn't all written by ai already.
Agreed, some of the quests and dialogue are truly terrible, in contrast with some amazing gameplay and story work.
Thats why the layoff
@@PyrrhP the video is clickbait. the reason for this layoffs are internal restructuring and the mess in natlan aq translations.
Nahh now way we're starting controversies due to lack of leaks😭
This guy keeps making videos about unconfirmed rumors only to stir up hate and toxicity within the community, he's basically the tectone of genshin leaks
I think I'll unsub and stick with Teyvat Times, that guy is only talking about future content and doesn't seek to stir up the drama and slander the game
As a cs major can't even happly watch genshi leaks .Every where the fear of loosing my job to an AI first on yt then on insta now on contents of the game I play .funniest thing is that my Sub domain is AI and Ml
I hate how people can think AI is better. Just imagine like all these artists that put dedication, thoughts, feelings and hours into what ever they’re working. AI will never be same as real art.
If this is indeed true its odd cause they've been trying to get rid of the formosa issue with the va's for so long, but i guess we will see if it gets trully 100% confirmed
Also where is the winter nights lazzo 2.0?
don't believe leakers 100%
The leak was made by a Clout chasing reposter. Don't take leakers words as gospels
At this point they just want the game to fail
But USA told nvidia to not sell any kind of tech to china at level of hardware and software, this is why pc version has FSR only and no DLSS.
FSR is not big of deal as a tech.
they are getting rid of trouble makers activists etc.
Everyone wants AI not realizing there’s positive and negative effects. In this situation they’ll be no VA’s soon. AI/robots really might be our downfall in generations to come…
I believe those jobs that involve technical design are the ones they're pertaining. Those tasks can be substituted by an AI. But others like mechanics, World, level and system design all heavily need human involvement. I hope those employees find new jobs eventually. But they must also realize they should somehow add more skills like narrative writing and directing where AI can't replace
this is a sign guys. a bad sign, and this will snowball harder and escalate so quick. AI is the trend and the future of digital industry, but that is not okay to the human aspect, the aspect of life.
this might be the final decision if we still try to love genshin, or we could just move on with our life. o7 snezhnaya, the country of AI
Love genshin? Bro it’s not only genshin lol hsr and zzz are also hoyoverse
This whole video is just misinformation
Hoyo fired them because they did badly with translations
One example was with Xilonen
Now they're transitioning to Ai for better and more accurate translation
A youtube channel voiced by AI speaks about how bad AI is, lmao.
This is bad... Really really bad, we are cooked
Maybe they'll use it on things like the training guide so it could check our account details like character levels and it'd be more useful then it is now
Give me the source
YES! I would really be invested in the characters generated or made by AIs if the humans before the change didn´t fullfil the expectations from the playerbase or if they change into a direction that is already boring, AI would be a good option for that.
3:33 video 😅
The characters gonna be sounding like Separatist droids from Star Wars.
You are also using AI in your RUclips videos, so you know how efficient AI can be, it doesn't mean that if the company is using AI all of the future content will be AI-generated As a programming student, I am a testament that AI is a huge help in programming, it will cut so much time wasted in debugging.
You're only looking at one side ofthe same coin. AI helps humans but also take their jobs.
Quick read of the comments and apparently this is just clickbait not my problem
Dude that's so lame
We don’t want people to lose the jobs. We want to stop the AI from taking over!
So we're just going to blame tools now... Perfect... The more time I pass on internet the less I believe in humanity... Instead of hating on a tool for being used poorly by HUMANS, why don't we look at the fact there are lots of humans being horrible at their jobs? If you're a good employee why would someone fire you?
(Btw just in case you didn't know, I wanted to clarify that from what I've seen in other comments with much more sense in them, and clarifying this rumors, is that the people lossing jobs were people from translations and similar, because they did a very bad job and caused a lot of confusion on players or even misspelled named of a character)
So no, Ai is not and will never be the problem, the problem is people trying to use it poorly. And no one here lost their jobs because of "Ai taking over them"
That's insane
You commented 30secs after release😭🙏
@phoenixggs7940 ikr I'm cooked 💀
Hoyoverse didn't fire multiple people and the only source is one guy.
If hoyoverse did remove a large number of employees it mess with game development since I highly doubt hoyo has any AI program fully functional.
I might be he was a leaker got found out and fired now trying to slander hoyoverse.
Hoyo is a million dollar company they don't even need it. That's so fucked up.
Tho I bet when Hoyo starts using AI, a lot of the community will end up complaining like hell and then they'll probably reduce the AI content. Yk, like the 2 star review incident on the anniversary
Not happening
@@Protract_Loop If enough people complain probably. I mean it all depends on the extent of the AI use and the quality of the results. If they completely rely on it without actually overworking designs/dialogue whatever and it turns out shit, there'll be a RIOT in the community
@@nightmareLiam maybe till khanriah no ai but after that there is '?'
@@Protract_LoopWhat do you mean?
@@nightmareLiam i was just predicting
We doomed💀💀
1 st comment 🎉
They rather hire prompt writers instead of real artists 😭 game industry in shambles
I’m done with Hoyo if they seriously use AI
HOW IS AI SUPPOSED TO REPLACE PEOPLE IF THEY CANT DRAW A HAND WITHOUT ADDING EXTRA BODY PARTS OR FORGET EASILY 😭
Calm down, the video is a lot of baseless rumors and missinformation. The people getting fired were mostly translators for doing quite the terrible job. Ai is not going to replace artists or storytelling, not anytime soon atleast. And even if the Ai takes over most of translations at the end, they'll still have a human check it to make sure it's all good. Just making the job easier for employees and getting the people who dont know how to do their jobs out.
if the AI generated content wasn't bad enough.
And i doubt the voice actors on strike would find this appealing to work with hoyo anymore.
Please dont jump into conclusions so easily when there's absolutely no proof at all. As explain in other replies from people who actually did some research, Ai had nothing to do with this. People got fired because they were translating poorly and doing badly their jobs several times. Barely anyone from artist or storytelling were fired and definetly not because of Ai.
Please take more causion into what you believe from the internet or not. Check for proof first.
And also, hoyo is actually helping the VA to change companies where they wouldn't use Ai to try and copy their voices, so I'd say VA would actually be quite grateful to hoyo.
Well, AI will 100% take over the world in the next few years so I'm not surprised some companies already following this trend
2:38 absolutely not... 😢
meanwhile me who is Japanese and doesn’t use genshin English whatsoever: 😱🍿
Oh my lord we’re not even cooked, we’re ASHES.
Is this just about the AI powered NPCs you can talk to? It doesn't seem like a bad idea IF it's well filtered and set up. Although I don't get why they'd lay off that many employees for that.
Wallahi we are finished❤
