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!

It's that time of year again! Drop a character or pairing + a number between 1-100 in the comments below and I'll write a double drabble (200 words exact) based on your chosen character(s) and the corresponding song from my Spotify Wrapped!

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

This is not only insulting to the art, medium, and voice actors, but also to the viewers.
Hey just so you know Amazon decided to give us an AI ENGLISH DUB of Banana Fish instead of actually hiring real voice actors
it is fucking hot garbage

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.
They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.
Only you have the power to kill 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.

It's never too late to stop using AI. 💖 I am genuinely saying this with compassion. I know it's hard out here. Your own hard work will take you further than the work of a chat bot or whatever gen AI tool. You can bounce back. I promise.

This advice is so great. I've studied languages throughout my life and discovered that I always retained skills best when I would find ways to play in another language. Play is a way to make the unfamiliar more familiar, to experiment and then accept success or failure without stress.
Watching a skateboard video where the answer to "how do I get over the fear aspect?" is answered with "Be playful," and it's so cool to see advice that I've given in art and animation having commonality with this very different skillset
I think we all deserve to be a bit more playful with our life!

LRP yet another reason why, if your HCP gives the option to refuse AI notetaking, IMMEDIATELY TELL THEM NO. i saw the dr in sept for wrist pain and they asked if it was cool if the dr used ai to take notes and i said "nope" in part bc. fuckin HIPAA violations out your ears w/ai. but also. THAT SHIT

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Aldi, who pays employees well and hasn't given a red cent to Trump or various PACS, has a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people for $40.
It's not a hard choice. FUCK Target.

The passage of CA Prop 50 wraps a big night on the democracy/voting rights front. In addition to Prop 50, most notably: ME rejected voting restrictions, PA preserved its liberal supreme court majority, and VA cleared a path to end its Jim Crow-era system of lifetime felony disenfranchisement.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.
