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!

So they steal from me then sell those stolen goods to a company who repackages those stolen goods and resells them again. Fuck all the way off. This isn't like ye olden days of pirating off Napster. This is entitlement and greed from AI companies and readers. bsky.app/profile/skyl...
