Realtime closed captions.
Arguable... it's OKish at best, definitely nowhere near as good as professional... then IMHO it's like spotting a spelling mistake in an official document, you instantly look for MORE mistakes then it become distracting. There is something powerful about trust that once it's broken, it's hard to get back. Once a spelling or here transcription mistake happens, then we brace for more (rationally so) and it becomes a very taxing endeavor.
So... sure STT progressed quite a bit but it's STILL not good enough in a lot of cases.
Case in point, IMHO when there is a choice, most people (everybody?) would rather have human made captions than AI ones.
Yeah, the song I 2 I, from a goofy movie will take AI a while to get right.
