I remember seeing this a few days ago, and as a fan of both CLAMP and Magic Knight Rayearth, this one makes me especially mad. Crunchyroll should have decent closed captions for an important series like Rayearth, especially in preparation for the upcoming remake series.
2/2 Checking CR's English Rayearth dub and yeah it's got formatting issues I've seen elsewhere. Doesn't delineate who is speaking. Formating is all over the place (magic knight/magic Knights/Magic Knights etc.) 5 minutes into the first ep and Princess Emeraude is "Princess Emerald."

From "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!", also on Crunchyroll. As usual, AI captions can't keep character names straight.
I’d posted this on the other site about ‘My Next Life as a Villainess’. I don’t have the screen shots but another character’s name was spelled iirc 10 different ways over 2 episodes. And some of the episodes had these horrible captions & some had none & then randomly later eps had again.

At least one of these screenshots is from the AI closed captions on Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest on Crunchyroll, and I have my doubts that the show has a song about having no God in Ohio.
I wish I had kept better track, I've posted various mistakes throughout watching anime on CR but I'm pretty much done for now.
They use it for a lot of Japanese song lyrics, not sure if that's a tell or not. Second picture is from Arifeuta's credits, I'm blanking which the first image is from.

"The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me?", AI closed captions on Crunchyroll. Also looks mildly unintelligible.
Closed captions for English dub of The 8th son? Are you kidding me? seem to be AI.

I have lived in Nashville since 2002 and have never seen excitement around a candidate like this ever.
