If that's an extreme example I think the problem is probably exaggerated. Also, I'd bet a big reason that change was made was to match the lip flaps better - something that's considered high-priority with anime dubs and which I'm guessing AI is quite bad at right now.

No. The translator doubled down on twitter when this aired and people complained about it. She crashed out and wrote about it extensively. I think the account is deleted since (fled to bluesky) but there should be articles about this shitstorm still.
