I doubt that people prefer automatic capitations over human made, no more than people prefer AI subtitles. The big AI subtitle controversy going on right now in anime demonstrate well that quite a lot is lost in translation when an AI is guessing what words are most likely in a situation, compared to a human making a translation.

What people want is something that is better than nothing, and in that sense I can see how automatic captions is transformative in terms of accessibility.
