To be clear, this is just as bad as the Amazon AI dub thing. Not as much to meme about, but definitely just as bad. Remember when YouTube switched over to AI closed captions, removed the options for creators to provide their own, and then they all got immediately worse forever? This is like that.
After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

As a big angry woman I absolutely love big angry women. Especially big angry furry women, extra bonus points if they are Pokemon.

:3 Which means I had to dub this comic~

If you've ever worked in anime localization/dubbing then you would know that the client needs to be aware of EVERY decision by the studio. They have final say on everything; even casting choices. Amazon doing this without their knowledge is HUGE. At the very least it would endanger their license.

As a fan of Digimon since I was a kid I can't believe I get to say that I'M IN #DIGIMON GHOST GAME!

You can hear me as Reppamon as well as various other characters & Digimon throughout the show!

Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".

I crafted a really long and heartfelt post about how lots of folks, myself included, warned of the speed and ferocity that Gen Ai would attack industries.

But I deleted it cause I’m tired.

So here’s the short version:

People did warn everyone about this, it was often dismissed, now we’re jobless.

genuinely think we have a moral obligation to be rude & cruel to scammers and grifters. they prey on ppl's manners and politesse and inability to say no. call it when you see it even if it makes you uncomfortable. right now they are being rewarded at all time highs & they need to be shaken

As someone who loves to watch so-bad-its-good content PLEASE understand you can't give shit like this the time of day

The only way to convince these companies to not use AI dubbing is to show it's not profitable, STAY AWAY from hate-watching and instead spend that time watching dubs you love
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Please try to tell your faves you enjoy their work. A lot of people are bold enough to be openly negative or mean while positive people react quietly. Lurking is ofc okay but I think it’s good to try and be openly encouraging from time to time🥹❤️

Are you someone who claims to be a “trans ally”?

Cool! Here’s your new test to see if you actually are a trans ally for real or just for “social media clout.”

Stop playing Fortnite.
