Popular anime streaming site Crunchyroll is the latest platform to be caught out for using ChatGPT to translate subtitles, and fans are very disappointed.
The situation came to light when new anime series Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show hit Crunchyroll on Tuesday, June 1. When one German fan went to watch the show with subtitles on, they found that the site had used ChatGPT to translate the episode. User Pixel posted a screenshot of the subtitles on Bluesky, captioned, “Beyond disappointed to find Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show’s subs on Crunchyroll are blatantly and openly ChatGPT.” Check out another screenshot below.
A you can see above, the German subtitles read, “ChatGPT said:Wenn ich die Welt von hier an weiter genießen kann.” This takes place at 19:12 in the first episode of the new Cygames series. Although ChatGPT does not show up in subtitles for other languages for that same scene, AnimeNewsNetwork found that the English subtitles include multiple translation errors, which suggests AI use.
