Wait, why are we upset about VLC offering on device subtitles when there is no track present? Or translations? Especially when made on device?
Sorry, I've lost the thread. If I read right, it is local, supports making inaccessible media accessibile (like mastodon's own alt text generating AI) doesn't plagiarise because if the subtitles existed they wouldn't be generated, and is about as much AI as Google translate was ten years ago.
Who is harmed? This seems unambiguously beneficial.

Having a handheld device that translates between verbal and written languages, even with bad accuracy, is a miracle for real human interactions. It seems very different than trying to remove humans from the creative process.
Yes, this version still needs a too powerful GPU and a human translator will be way better but I want very much that particular technology to exist.

I remember the first time we hosted an international karate team. No one spoke the same language. Google translate sucked, but hell it was so much better than ten years earlier with a hand held dictionary. Improving human communication in this way is such a huge win for humans.
