    The automated captions have been there for ages, and yeah, they often have a lot of mistakes especially if there are other sounds in the background.

    But what sucks even more are those auto-dubbed videos, because often they are made from those subs. So now they speak in AI voices using a broken translation from a faulty transcript. Great, thanks youtube, very helpful.

    Years ago, there used to be community subtitles as a feature - people could submit translations and corrections and creators could then allow them on the video. Why they removed that I don’t know, but those would be really fucking handy now that you want to auto-dub the videos eh, youtube?
