I read this in Werner Herzog's voice.
The hated Elf on a Shelf, a wretched monstrosity crafted to spite God, greed given cold, dead flesh. Hollow eyes that murder joy and call happiness a sin.

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.

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!

He may have abused up to 2,500 women.
