    So for example if I want to add closed captions to my Twitch streams there is no way that I go pay a person to transcribe/translate the shit I’m saying for 3 hours everyday. Maybe this is a weird example but it fits my needs.

      Not a weird example. I have my self hosted video server (PeerTube) and I tinkered with transcription thanks to whisper.cpp locally. It “works” in the sense that most of it is acceptable. It still does mistake though. I provide all my content, including hosting, at my costs and to anyone in the World for free.

      So… I definitely see the value. I’m only saying that it has downsides and quality-wise relative to professional, it’s still bad.
