CODE: REALIZE - Guardian of Rebirth, another example of AI captions on Crunchyroll.
And this is an excellent point. These AI captions perform none of the deaf and hard-of-hearing services of real closed captions. No descriptions of music and sound effects at all, just bad dialogue transcription.

Add CODE: REALIZE - Guardian of Rebirth on CR to the list. The main character's name is Cardia. Also, if it's ID'd as "English (CC)", there should be some actual, you know, CAPTIONING regarding stuff like sound effects or sighs or whatnot.

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.
