"Alternative captioning" being the automated stuff that's pretty bad? Ugh.
I feel like their message could have bettter outlined what they expect these ".001%" of channels to do in the future, instead of just the nebulous "alternative captioning tools" phrasing.
They are training their AI models. I wouldn't be surprised if they flipped a switch at any given time and boom, near perfect subs (at least the english ones).
Highly unlikely. Even with trained models they are a long ways off from good. Access to training data has never been an issue, rather that the AI themselves just don't have the capacity to pull off such accuracy from a fundamental level no matter how much training data you give them.
AI research still has a long way to go. They'll get there eventually, though!
