Don't hate-watch the slop on the streamers. They just see numbers go up against it and they'll keep doing it.
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.

They're trying it on voice acting first because it's such a looked down on shat upon form of acting and listening to like 15 seconds of this arrant nonsense just proves what fucking delusional horshittery it is
Voice acting is a skillset completely separate from live action acting

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

It's funny how 4 months ago, City The Animation (also distributed on Amazon) had a proper English dub (recorded at Deluxe Media, the same place Little Witch Academia's dub was) and that dub turned out really well.
And now Amazon suddenly can't afford to hire VAs and just AI's the whole thing

Amazon Prime used AI to dub a few Korean dramas to Latam Spanish and everyone hated the dub. VAs mocked the company stating dubbing stuff with real humans is already so cheap cuse everyone is paid peanuts that ruining their brand to save 1 dollar made zero sense.

We got gen-AI dubs from Amazon and gen-AI subs from Crunchyroll, but if you torrent a fansub that real people worked to translate, code, and stylize, you're the piece of shit.

I'm a Real Hater (sometimes) so hearing Tem Tem, a game I was excited for, until I learned there was no offline mode and thus didn't buy it, has ended up pretty dead due to a shitty toxic dev team that did a bad job of improving the game And was terrible to their customers

Again, a lot of people loudly and proudly proclaimed their preference for norms which rewarded this rather than norms that didn’t.
Oh nothing. Just a major conservative activist, former staffer for Chuck Grassley and a former clerk for Justice Neil Gorsuch calling me a "retarded pussy." Fun stuff on X, the everything site.

Oh fan-freaking-tastic. Aniplex already has *the* most expensive physical releases on the market and are partially responsible for the price creep and now they're trying to muscle out paying for voice actors? Good luck selling those 200 dollar discs now.
My hatred for them remains justified

Considering how everything for anime has to be done with the approval of the original Japanese licensor(s) now (this isn't the Wild West of the 90s & earlier), this pretty much means that the Japanese licensor for Banana Fish had to have approved this.
So, who's the licensor for this? Aniplex.

This shit is why I'm getting less and less work on anime and having to scramble to ask around with YouTubers for help letting me do their CCs just to pay my damn rent. There's enough anime to caption out there that I should not be fucking struggling.
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!
