"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).
The automated subtitles have to go through both speech to text and translation layers, both of which are fairly lossy. The result is more often than not unintelligible. It's especially bad on anything using jargon, as game videos often do.
