AI dubs aren't just an attempt to replace voice actors. Engineering, mixing, writing, directing, and QC are also cut, narrowed down to a single prompter.
When I write dub scripts, it is an exercise in musicality, translation, and personal life experience. A prompter understands none of that.

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.

Zwei palästinensische Cousins stranden als Geflüchtete in Athen und werden dort von ausweglosen Umständen in die Kriminalität getrieben. TO A LAND UNKNOWN ist ein kompromissloses Abbild existenzieller Entwurzelung.

Na, habt ihr auch alle dran gedacht? Seit heute sind auf Netflix die ersten vier Folgen der finalen Staffel Stranger Things abrufbar. Das heißt zusammen an die fünf Stunden äußerst seltsamer und 80er-kultiger Unterhaltung. Im ersten Teil geht's gleich schon ziemlich "drunter und drüber". Viel Spaß!

With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

"And then, as everything AI started to slide down the long downwards slope of the hype cycle, my job came back."
This corresponds with the what colleagues shared at the AVÜ meeting last weekend. Anecdotal evidence, but it is a silver lining at the end of the hype tunnel.

"Machine translation hasn’t even improved with the advent of AI – contrary to the online hype, our industry never got its big OpenAI moment. I’m starting to suspect that we’ve been forced down this path by an unhappy coincidence of sunk costs and economic downturn."

AI-powered translation has failed to live up to its hype, and there are signs that the industry might be recovering. Is the bubble about to burst?
