Yeah, but that wasn't a Google auto-captioning - it was added by
someone as part of the video. I complained about it earlier, but now
what I think happened is that the narrator/"star" of the video had
probably been hearing unfamiliar words like Sysplex and CICSplex all
day, and then flubbed it during filming. Then someone pointed out that
he should've said CICSplex there, and it was inserted correctly as an
overlay in the video stream.

Really, Google auto-generated captioning is only useful if you're
listening in an unfamiliar language and want to get the gist of what's
being said.

In passing, this guy and his Youtube channel have been the subject of
full page Google *newspaper* ads recently, touting the great
contributions Google makes to the local economy, blah, blah...
Doubtless all part of their campaign to try to avoid or water down
Australian-style requirements that Google pay newspapers to use their
content.
