I am almost sure they use AI to generate subtitles too. Some subtitles have sentences that really look like automatic transcription errors.

Text-to-speech has been around for decades at this point. AI might actually represent an improvement there.

As someone from a country that uses subtitles over dubbing, I'll let you know that subtitling movies/tv shows is an art form. Good subtitles are more akin to interpretation than translation. You have less space to fit, timing is important, you need to translate idioms, etc.

Probably an art form that's going the way of the dodo, but nevertheless...

Speech-to-text in this case

Text-to-speech is AI, but we used to stop calling things AI once they became practical. AI used to mean "things computers can't do yet". That was actually the main reason AI never took off.

Prime Video has consistently had the worst quality subtitles of any streaming service I've tried. I'm surprised they haven't been subject to a ADA-type lawsuits over it.
