Do you think AI generated subtitles will soon replace manual transcription of movie's subtitles?

[Heatman]

The use of AI generated subtitles in movies and TV shows is becoming a common thing in the movie industry. This is often used as a result of how AI can generate subtitles in minutes that usually take hours for manual transcription to be completed.

So, producers choose it in order to enable faster content release. Unfortunately, as a result of accuracy issues, the use of AI generated subtitles have been criticized by so many people.

Do you think AI generated subtitles will soon replace manual transcription of movie's subtitles?

I hope to god not, that should be kept to humans as AI could easily mess something up.

I do not think that AI generated subtitles are going to replace manual transcription anytime soon because human touch is very crucial especially when it involves complex dialogue.

I think not yet. People use sleng and if you are translating from English to some other language, let's say Chinese, you can't just go word for word. Okay, ChatGPT is pretty good at doing things but still it is not that good. I know because I've spoken with Thai people 😀

AI is really good but it can never do everything for humans. It's limited to things it can handle, I am okay with what AI is helping us do but people are still with the upper hand.

AI generated subtitles have made significant progress over the years but there are still little mistakes here and there because of some slangs or idioms that are said in the film. That is why human judgment is required

May be. It's too much work.
AI is always evolving and who knows... We might actually get accurate subtitles from AI in the near future.

Well, I do feel bad ....a bit... But technology is always evolving at a crazy pace.
We will have to adapt to it... Eventually.

VLC player offers AI subtitles. I've used it but some times, the subtitles doesn't sync well and the words are wrong. I don't like it which is why I don't think I'm going to use it again.

Yeah, I’ve had the same issue with AI subtitles being out of sync or missing slang. It ruins the flow when the words don’t match. To be fair, AI has gotten better, but I don’t think it can fully replace humans yet.

I don't know for any other person but when I watch a movie with AI subtitles, something always feels off for me. AI doesn't understand cultural nuances enough to be able to land the humor, sarcasm or slang the way it should land contextually and culturally. Need I talk about the errors in translations with AI subtitles. I don't think it is worth it.

Never can that happen. AI generator subtitles are not the same way with manual transcription. I love to watch movies made and directed by humans because it will be hard to find much mistakes.

Yeah, that's very correct. It's only VLC media player that you can be able to download AI generated subtitles. It's not available on MX player or other 3rd part players I've used.
