Why are Auto-Generated Subtitles on YouTube So Bad?
There are a few reasons why auto-generated subtitles on YouTube can be bad.
First, the software that generates them is not perfect. It can make mistakes in understanding the audio, and it can also produce inaccurate transcriptions.
Second, even if the transcription is accurate, the translation may not be. The software that translates the subtitles may not be able to understand the context of the video, or it may use poor translations for certain words or phrases.
Finally, even if the translation is good, it may be hard to read because of the way that it is formatted.
