Not even really a hot take but more of a fact, so much of the anime/manga industry is fueled and powered by women. Either women creating stories or women buying products for their favorite shows more often than guys, even women just making fan art for the medium
Gundam was saved by its women fans

I don’t see why we as a culture feel the need to continue to make a Christmas Carol after the Muppets completely aced it.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

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.

Columbo is the best
Watching Columbo for the first time and as someone with a working class chip on his shoulder, seeing all these smug, monied elitists sneeringly underestimating and then being utterly destroyed by a shabby, brilliant little guy is absolutely cathartic.

It's possible and encouraged to accept that titles like Shinesman, Read or Die, and Baccano! will never be released via legal means again, while still advocating for keeping them alive through grey and illicit markets.
Just... know and understand what the fuck "keep it on the down-low" means.

As always, next time you see a big celebrity at the Crunchyroll anime awards, remind yourself how they can afford to dress the dubbing industry up like it’s the Met Gala when underneath all that it’s actors struggling to make ends meet and translation done by shitty robots they don’t have to pay.
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!
