Youtube’s AI generated subtitles are the worst.
I see it has the same success rate and issues that the Closed Captioning system in broadcasting, which existed long before current AI solutions, has. The best way to get subtitles, is to have a hand-written .srt.

Most of those closed captions are, or at least were, done by humans. Even live TV.
I don’t know if it’s changed recently, but it used to be all humans with a stenotype. Professionals are very good at it.

It’s been moving toward automation since the 80’s. Almost all of it today has no human hands involved.
