Hrm, I don’t like it but thankfully VLC isn’t going to force it on users like most scumbag companies do.

At least this is a legitimately good use case for AI that improves accessibility.

Yeah, it is good for accessibility, that’s why I merely dislike it over absolutely hating it. The implementation will help those who need it, anyone that doesn’t want to use this can handily avoid it.

Is it accurate?

Good question, I don’t know if the feature has officially been deployed yet. You should keep an eye out for any feature reviews, as I’m not interested to find out.
