AI could end foreign-language subtitles

I started watching Squid Game with my brothers' girlfriend and gently suggested that we should use subtitles and the original audio. It took a couple of episodes, but some of those dubbing performances are pretty rough and when she did decide to switch she immediately agreed how much better it was.

The only downside is you have to actually _watch_ the show rather that staring at your phone most of the time...

> brothers' girlfriend

You have multiple brothers with one girlfriend? I understand this is not likely, but it's such an interesting concept I kind of want it to be true.

Maybe he meant "us brothers", since he was Netflix and chilling with her

I tried both seasons of Neflix's Ragnarok in original (Norwegian) and dubbed. The first season had a decent dubbing (I still kept the original+subtitles) but the second season the dubbing was simply unbearable, bad voice acting, echo chambers, incredible... So the experience can be very mixed even within the same show.

Yea Netflix dubbing is really bad for some reason. Same thing with Money Heist!
