Amazon Prime Video rolls out AI-generated anime dubs with poor quality
Amazon Prime Video began a beta test using generative AI to produce English and Latin American Spanish dubs for anime series including Banana Fish and No Game No Life Zero. Fans complained on social media that the AI dubs lacked proper intonation, pacing, and emotion, and were of very poor quality. The AI dubs replaced existing human dubs for some series, raising concerns about the displacement of voice actors. Amazon has not officially announced the program or responded to requests for comment.
