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.

Autogenerated subtitles are pretty awesome for subtitle editors I'd imagine.

even if they get the words wrong, but the timestamps right, it'd still save a lot of time
