Yes. And translators, badly paid, have been trying to make people aware of this, but they have only a small platform. Need writers and readers to be aware and speak out.
All my foreign language contracts going forward will stipulate that a real person translates.

Deep breath
Ok I'm going to try and stay calm
But I'll point out that AI translation is literally causing translators to be fired (see the whole Harlequin line in France)

"My catboy is 6'2"" You're a coward. Pathetic. Weak. He's a five foot king and you throw that away in pursuit of what? Traditional masculinity? Hes a catboy. You already lost. No matter how oily you make his skin, no matter how many solid black tattoos you add. He's still a fucking catboy.

When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground.
For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

"I was forced to use AI until the day I was laid off." Copywriters reveal how AI has decimated their industry
Copywriters were one of the first to have their jobs targeted by AI firms. These are their stories, three years into the AI era.

rip gainax, you ended in a weird convoluted way that pissed a lot of people off
Hideaki Anno just announced via the khara website that Gainax is officially dead and gone as a corporate entity as of December 10th: www.khara.co.jp/2025/12/11/2...
「株式会社ガイナックス」について
2025年12月10日の官報掲載にありますように、アニメーション制作スタジオだった「株式会社ガイナックス」の破産整理が終わり、法人として消滅し、その42年弱の歴史を終えました。 創設期から20年以上籍を置き、今日まで株主として関わっていたものとして誠に残念な最後ですが、静かに受け止めています。 まず、2019年、当時の代表取締役社長巻智博氏の逮捕を受け、弊社と共にガイナックス社の再建、後に整...

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.
Amazon Streamed AI English Dubs on Banana Fish, 'No Game, No Life Zero,' Vinland Saga, Pet Anime

I would watch this movie
“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”
Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.
