The streaming service Crunchyroll today included the summer restart “Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show” (Japanese: “Necronomico No Cosmic Horror Show”) in its program-and immediately caused astonishment among the spectators with the first episode. We summarize.
»ChatGPT said«
Anyone looking at the first episode of “Necronomico No Cosmic Horror Show” on Crunchyroll should have found relatively quickly that the subtitles do not meet the usual quality standards of the provider.
In addition to grammatical mistakes, content -related ambiguities can also be found (if I had 100,000 yen, I could use it to find my whole rent. “). But the greatest curiosity is 19:12 minutes at the time.
Then the following text line, which can also be seen on the screenshot below in this article, is shown: “Chatgpt Said: If I can continue to enjoy the world from here”. Chatgpt is a AI-based chatbot from Openaai.
So far, why the words »Chatgpt Said« appear before the actual translation is unclear, since Crunchyroll has not yet commented on this topic. This phenomenon does not occur in other language versions of the subtitles.
According to the credits in the credits, a person named Emilia (without specifying a last name) was responsible for the creation of the German subtitals, which also fueled the discussion about the development of the lines of text.
There is already a flood of reactions on social media, with contributions, some of which have already recorded over 90,000 views.
Many users expressed their concern that Crunchyroll may currently test AI-generated subtitles and that this practice could use this practice more in the future, while others accompany the situation with mocking comments.
