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.
Kadokawa stated that it did not approve of an AI dub, and Sentai stated that it wasn't aware of the dub beforehand.

Indie animation and game development is here to stay because it MUST be. Otherwise soon enough there won’t exist a sector of the industry willing to tell or support the stories already starting to be snuffed out.
Not great that a foreign state that regularly executes queer folks is now going to own the major AAA publisher that most consistently supported queer stories and characters.
Saudi Fund [PIF] will own almost all of EA (93.4%) after buyout according to filing

I've not spoken about this much—both because it feels self-aggrandizing and isn't super relevant beyond the folks directly involved—but:
The Game Jam Waiver (*the* most accessible way to make games Union) was created + is maintained by marginalized people. I feel like this is a major piece of why.

an update to this: it seems they’ve (silently) removed the AI ENG version of their dubbed beta for some anime (Banana Fish included)
HOWEVER, the Spanish AI dub betas are still up. keep demanding for its removal please — all languages deserve equal respect with dubs and subs. thank you.

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".

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.

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!

Honest to God I think your average novice voice actor on Twitter or Bluesky could do an infinitely better fandub of this from home.
