What do you think of an open-source app like VLC adding AI to auto-generate subtitles? This is not what VLC users and fans want. Many users don't want anything to do with AI in any form on their system, which again creates privacy issues. Folks who use VLC avoid streaming and other services for a reason. They don't want their data transmitted to parasites like OpenAI, Microsoft, or other AIs. I know VLC doesn't make any money. They need to get feedback from users before adding such a feature.
