thanks. in the interest of knowing how to fish, what tool did you use for this? yt-dlp?
EDIT: I should just be web searching for this instead of bothering you. asking myself why and I think it’s because I’ve come to hate the experience of searching and finding tons of dogshit instead of what I want
It’s also worth noting just how shit these auto-generated captions are, which is what makes up the transcript. Like, they got all the training material in the world, fancy neural nets chugging along in their climate controlled cathedrals filled to the brim with carefully assembled sand, driven by the power requirements of a small nation and they can’t parse historic names like Genghis Khan or infamous philosophers, their semantic understanding is shit, even for a TV host, speaking relatively un-accented English and they don’t even try to segment their slop into sentences - it’s just so so bad, it’s basically deliberate. I figure they got roped into doing an accessibility and half-assed it, so now it’s just this depreciated, unprofitable legacy-feature nobody’s really allowed to touch. If enshittification holds true, they might remove it soon or move it into a paid premium tier, we’ll see. It can’t really get much worse on its own though, so there’s that

youtube offers it under the video’s description -> show transcript. It was in a different place before, they keep moving it around…
the only thing better than shitty UI design is constantly changing shitty UI design
