#3My wife speaks English as a second language (very fluently), but sometimes she has trouble with various accents so we leave the closed captions on most of the time. I seem to catch at least two or three transcription errors every time I watch something. I believe AI is used for most transcription, and it does a poor job when it lacks context for the content.

If AI was indeed used end-to-end (and not e.g. just as a first pass) you'd catch way more than 2-3 errors per show...
