I know AI has some PR issues at the moment but I can’t see how this could possibly be interpreted as a net negative here.
In most cases, people will go for (manually) written subtitles rather than autogenerated ones, so the use case here would most often be in cases where there isn’t a better, human-created subbing available.
I just can’t see AI / autogenerated subtitles of any kind taking jobs from humans because they will always be worse/less accurate in some way.
Yeah this is exactly what we should want from AI. Filling in an immediate need, but also recognizing it won't be as good as a pro translation.
I believe it's limited in scope to speech recognition at this stage but hey ho
