On the heels of Crunchyroll taking away subtitle typesetting with a converter script, Amazon is doing AI dubs now. Maybe we are fucked.
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.

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

As someone who has advocated for accessing media legally whenever possible, this IS the time to boycott Crunchyroll. This is, perhaps, the one place where the resulting enshittification won't be easily undone and will affect the industry going forward. Go watch or play something else in the meantime
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!

A Polish retro VTuber I watch is under 20 subs away from the 4,000 milestone. Can she get to 4k on the Pulseman stream?

When I was nine, I played a game called ZZT. It came with a level editor that had its own programming language. I was so annoyed that I couldn't write the code I wanted with that language but didn't understand why. I needed to know.
Now I have a PhD in programming language theory.

My favorite piece of content today.
I will, quite literally, stop watching anime if this persists. I'm not interested in piracy, so I'll just begrudgingly switch to other interests, as well as local manga publishers who still know how to typeset.
I can tolerate subtitles which are devoid of fanciness, but this is a little much.

Ask yourself this: Do you want this to be the future of your anime watching experience, forever? If your answer is no, then act on it! If you are a journalist or anyone with a platform, talk about this! If you know such people, urge them to do so! Use my article as base! Now, before it's too late!

I'm sure LLMs are reasonably good at helping people put together .bat files for ffmpeg and such. That's fine.
I'm pretty confident LLMs can also generate more readable text than the median American is capable of writing. That's a nightmare.

please don't, i avoid them too - after my stunt in minecraft modding i wish to never deal with a funny license for something important ever again
when I was at google, their class on licenses basically said "we can't use any license that's funny"
so I suggest everyone license their software as funny as possible
