#Craptions

A photo of my TV screen showing a YouTube video. It shows a drawing of a person with a spear in front of the moon. The captions read: "[...] to your game. A dozen unique factions, over 15 new subasses," It should be "sub-classes" instead of "sub-asses"

What's your #DnD subass?

The #captions on 'Saturday Night Live' are so bad.

I propose they be replaced with a Wally-cam, showing the cue cards in the corner of the screen.

watched a film that must’ve been captioned using AI. it was awful.

most of the time it seemed fine, but it missed crucial, key language or words, which then took away from the scene or even the entire plot of the film!

down with #craptions!

ahhh, #craptions.

Ooh- looking that up I stumbled on the glorious anniversary edition of Life's for the Living w/ Vance. Glorious countryside in the video - fab way to get nature from bed m.youtube.com/watch?v=3q-X... (has #craptions though: many errors. Wish artists would include proper #captions not autogenerated)

This is #joy in music form. The video is beautiful (contains trees, woodland creatures and mild hippyish nudity) m.youtube.com/watch?v=cWKT... but has #craptions so use this version if you want to sing along

At the very least check and repair your auto-generated captions.

Do you prefer "in the spirit of your dad" or "in the spirit of you dead"?

One of these was correct today and the other was the auto captions.

#craptions: 'Seek out porn.'

In the middle of a discussion about ethics in research.

(It was te reo Māori, 'tika or pono.')

#craptions turned 'whānau' into 'family' and ifthat had been intentional by a meat brain I would respect it in context as a fair attempt that was pretty close semantically, but because it wasn't I have no respect, the machine just fucked up.

#craptions today rendered 'pūrākau' as 'podcast', in case you're wondering how well the so-called artificial 'intelligence' is handling Māori words.

Granted, I didn't know how to spell 'pūrākau' either, but I know how to use context to look the right word up with my meat brain.

#craptions today spat out 'they undecideds' for 'their prior understanding' but it's totally okay to let the LLMs do the captions, right?

I'm 30 minutes into ep 1 of #DeadBoyDetectives

Been at it 3X that
Bc the captioning is 👎 - words, phrases, whole sentences missing, sometimes dialogue just summarized

I'm exhausted ⏪ & ⏸, trying to parse/process/reconcile what's missing 😩

Was SO looking forward to it 😞

#craptions ruin everything

'they really initiate interaction' oh #craptions they RARELY initiate interaction you were SO CLOSE and yet SO FAR

Also #craptions: 'this reconsensualization of children'

who the fuch taught it that that was a phrase?! the actual word was 'reconceptualisation'!

#craptions spat out the following variants on 'hyper': high-po, high-bow, high-perre.

Sometimes I hear people justify machine learning captions as 'better than nothing' but are they really?

'60-pigants' or maybe, #craptions, did you consider 'significance'

The manufacturer of a new 5-gloss tire
flimps that its average life will be at least 40
,000 miles.

#craptions absolutely borked this one, right down to what the HECK are those choices with breaking up the number not only in the middle, but BEFORE the comma?

'But you can see how medical professionals often get very frustrated with someone who's experiencing illness anxiety disorder, and rightly so.'

I hope that this is #craptions and not actually what the speaker said.

For the sake of me keeping my job as a captioner and transcriber, I'm fine with the machines remaining as intelligent as alphabet soup, but for the sake of people who need these accommodations and are stuck with the #craptions, gods I hope the state of them improves.

Further on it's spat out 'Bauticolli'. What. Is. That. It's not 'Botticelli' because I feel like the machine could manage a vaguely famous Renaissance fucking painter's name.

My money is on it being 'border collie', because my meat brain can read for context. #craptions

Now we have hashtags I can bring back #craptions here, such as this one: 'e-tapersonal'. That's not even a fucking word. Where the fuck did the machine learn that. And 'bicarious'. Okay, Urban Dictionary says the latter is a fusion of 'bicurious' and 'vicarious', which I support, but NO.

Watching @QueerEye (S2E1)

Tammye: 200+ people are coming to the homecoming
Tan: Shit! (but they bleeped it)

Captions read: "Crap."

I have so many feelings. Literal #craptions right here.

(The rest of the captioning is also bad, so many inaccuracies. Get it together, @netflix)
