“Rip translators”: Crunchyroll’s Decision to Try a Hand in AI Generated Subtitles has Fans Rioting Over Comprising Quality

One of the major talking points in the Hollywood strike last year involved AI. Following its rapid growth, writers and actors feared studio execs might use AI to replace human involvement to cut costs. And with Crunchyroll CEO’s new statements pointing in that direction, fans haven’t backed away from showcasing their dismay towards this practice.
Instead of relying on dubs for animes, most fans usually prefer watching them with subtitles in order to get the closest experience to the original Japanese release possible. And while for years, professional translators were given the job of creating subtitles that don’t lose the essence of the original, it seems, the studios are aiming to replace these professionals with AI.
